Anything is possible. Patriots coaches liked versatility, which means being able to play multiple spots.
Too early to demonize you.

We did not learn or lesson from taking a pro bowl safety and turn if into a mediocre slot corner.
So lets take a slot corner that over produced for 1 year. And turn him into an unknown at the CB1 position.
Versatility & adaptability is key to Graham’s defence he likes to moves pieces around
Hobbs was outstanding in the nickel last season, not only from a coverage perspective but also had a real feel for the blitz and was EXCELLENT in run support on the edge. It would somewhat be a waste of his skillset to move him outside in my opinion. However, the new coaching staff have made it clear they want to give everyone a look at all positions to gauge best fits. We'll see!
A sneaky name to keep an eye on is Amik Robertson. By several accounts he's had a great start with these new coaches and they mentioned his experience on the outside also.
Hoping Trayvon comes back to his best form because it's a thinnish unit without him if we're being honest.
Move Nate Hobbs to CB1?

I wonder if this is Paul Guenther burner account.Nando369 wrote Mon Jun 20, 2022 12:49 am:Playing nickel is almost just as important as CB1. They are on the field alarmist every play.

One could make the argument that we are "thin" even with him. Thin the sense that out of any unit the back end of the Defense has the most cause for concernGuru wrote Mon Jun 20, 2022 1:48 pm:Based on camp rumblings thus far, Rock is our CB1 and will definitely be lining up on the outside.

I actually didn't know that, this was just an idea based on his performance from last year. I think he's our best option at CB1.CWood24 wrote Mon Jun 20, 2022 11:50 am:So wait implement an idea that our coaching staff have already implemented they’ve also worked him out at safety as well this isn't new it has been reported a ton, i think someone has seen it reported & trying to claim it as there own

I say OL is an equal concern, but I agree. Rock is starting caliber, but he’s not a star (yet?). Mullens is up and down — he’s flashed traits that are promising, but hasn’t put it all together nor stayed healthy. Hobbs was a great nickel in Gus’s scheme, and he seems like a player so I think you can pencil him in to continue his trajectory. Is Averett any good? I don’t know much about him. Beyond that we don’t have much— maybe guys like Amik step up? But we have limited depth, and our top guys all have their ?’s.Willmark wrote Mon Jun 20, 2022 4:42 pm:One could make the argument that we are "thin" even with him.

I like amik. But have no confidence in him due to his height. Put a tall receiver against him and we would be toast. Basically he would need to step way up just to reach themRaiders Baby wrote Tue Jun 21, 2022 8:50 am: maybe guys like Amik step up? But we have limited depth, and our top guys all have their ?’s.
