[More Cowbell]

I meant Hall on passing downs as Hall in at corner and Joseph in as the nickel back since Hall's probly a better one-on-one corner and Joseph's probly comfortable at the nickel back since he played his first year or so there (I'm not saying that you misunderstood my post or anything, I'm just quoting your post to clarify what I was trying to say.)

I never thought about trading O'Neal after next season and getting a solid return for him, might be a good idea though.

I actually didn't necessarily mean Hall would be playing a certain position, just that as the nickel back I meant he would not start, only come in on passing downs. Like we talked about in the other thread, I'm fine with Joseph as the nickel man, although I wouldn't go as far to say Hall is better in man coverage than Joseph. However they arrange them is fine with me.

My main point is that ideally O'Neal will elevate his game in response to the presence of Hall, and be a top-level corner like he can be. Again, I think that has two benefits: it allows Hall to be brought along gradually (not as a full-time starter right away) and it increases O'Neal's trade value exponentially, so that we can get a good draft pick in return for him when we're ready to make Hall the full-time starter. In this scenario, we would have 3 top-notch corners this season, which would be great.
