We all are!

This article from CincyJungle makes it sound like Dennard and Dre will be taking over at corner, with Leon playing slot corner and anywhere in nickel and then in dime packages:

Quote:But, I still think that Leon has a value on this team and that's why they haven't cut him or asked him to take a pay-cut or anything like that. He's still a good slot corner and he can play anywhere, as you saw in the OTAs, in the nickel and dime.

Young guys taking over at corner has me pumped because I think they both can make some big plays, especially with our pass rush looking like it's going to be nasty!

Also says that Adam Jones was playing some great football at the end of last season and that he, Dennard, or Dre could start:

Quote:Adam Jones is still playing some great ball. At the end of the year, Adam Jones was their best corner and I didn't see anything in the spring that would say anything different. So, there are three really good corners there and two of them can only start, but I think they're going to probably rotate

I love Jones at corner, but, if we're not going to let him return punts if he is on the field at all during a series on defense, I'd almost rather just let the young guys play D and have Jones return.  

Of course, we could have a young guy do well in returning that could replace Jones, but Jones has been so good that I don't see that happening.  I definitely don't want Tate returning the ball, but maybe a guy like Alford could return some when Jones is in on defensive series.
