Glad to see Petey finally getting the recognition he deserves, he had a great preseason and has carried that into the opportunities he's gotten in the regular season.

What's curious to me is that Bennett had a great game against Indy, yet is relegated to the bench. When Dunta comes back Reeves will be the 4th best CB on the team - it should be interesting to see if they can justify starting our 4th best CB.

From what i have seen of Reeves he is exactly what the team paid for. A great cover guy that can rotate his hips and run and has a good burst to make up ground. His ball skills are lacking, but that can be taught and improved the others are harder to get. He does get beat some like any corner.

Faggins is decent corner and playing lights out, for him, right now. He has been good in run support and good in coverage.

Its hard to see on TV what Bennet has been doing on the other side, especially when he only gets thrown at when he is beat most of the time. Maybe they were rolling coverage to him over the top also to help, i dunno.

If Faggins is playing better than Bennet right now give it to him. It isnt going to hurt the team at all, and this move could be because the Fins have been so good at running the ball this season that they want that run support that Faggins is bringing.

Kubes has been rotating the CB's anyway. I don't think there's a big difference in how many snaps Faggins or Bennet sees. I think that Kubiak might just be making Faggins the "starter" to get Bennet's attention. Other than last week he hasn't been playing anywhere near the same level as his rookie year.

After Calvin Johnson undressed Petey on that 96 yard pass and reception for a TD, do you still stand by your post? Petey does not belong in the NFL. You leave him on an island like they did last Sunday on Johnson, and he will get beat 99% of the time.
