I Think Mike Furrey Of The Browns Played Db Last Night

[charchboii]

after watchin the game last night i think mike furrey from the browns played a little bit of corner. so i was wonderin because marcus smith is such a good special teamer and a tackler do anyone think we could switch him to corner when he comes back next year. cause i know he got the size and speed. what do yall think

[Ed_Reed20]

I doubt that happens. I'll be surprised if Smith is even brought back next year but considering the lack of depth at receiver, if he is brought back, he'll be kept at receiver.

[McBoller]

he was playing safety and he almost had a pick, doing a good job.

I wanted the Steelers to grab Furrey in the off-season. I had no idea he could play safety though.

[McBoller]

Im kind of surprised he was allowed to play DB. DBs have to wear a number between 20-49.

He's a good player to have on the roster. He played safety for the Rams in '05.

He made the switch just a few weeks ago.

Think of Devin Hester wearing 23. Also sometimes on Hail Mary's or 3rd and real long, teams like having recievers out there to go for the jump ball because most recievers are atleast 6 1 (on other teams not the Ravens [img]http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/public/style_emoticons/default/34853_shakehead.GIF[/img]) and taller than DBs.

The Patriots did the same thing when we played them in 2007. They put Randy Moss back there as a safety.

He's a receiver converted to a DB, back to a receiver and back to a DB.

thats just for one or two plays. I guess it depends on how your listed on the roster and what your contract states as to what position you are.

[BloodRaven]

It takes years to learn the nuances, technique and muscle memory to play corner, it's probably the hardest position to play on the D.

I remember seeing Furrey in there and thinking to myself "Furrey...thought he was a WR...nah, must be thinkin of someone else". Guess I was right after all, LOL.
