    Blake might get benched

    Per Tomlin they discussed about playing Boykin and others.

    He shouldn't even be playing to begin with. Let's see what Boykin and Grant bring to the table.

    I stand by this:

Activate Doran Grant to play STs (let Grant not get the snaps that Boykin isn't getting now). Deactivate Blake until he is healed. If the secondary is better without him, then so be it. If not, bring him back when he is healthy and can best use the tools that he has.
    Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

    Grant n Boykin may see some playing time and I'm all for it. Blake didn't tackle well nor cover well Sunday. Great thing about the NFL sometimes your only as good (or bad ) as your last game.
    Regardless of who is on the corner our olb's have got to get to or close enough to be disruptive to the qb or it won't matter who is in coverage.

    If Will Allen is next then my trust of him of him being the coach that we need will be back.

    I'm still not sold on benching Will Allen yet...it's hard to play decent safety when your corners are being scorched regularly.

    I can understand playing him in the run maybe but to have him cover te and rb are impossible when he probably couldn't keep up with a olineman.

    I wouldn't completely remove Will Allen, but I'd rather see Golden in the base, with consideration to using Allen in a big nickel type of situation. Golden has more speed - Allen looked really slow against Seattle.

    I agree with you on Blake - the injury really limits him and takes away his best attribute. Play Boykin at least until Blake is healthy.

    They can't be any worse. It's pretty telling when William Gay is the teams best corner.
