C Wood to FS?

[Bo_Knows34]

Just a rumor, but I read on the ESPN Raiders board that somebody claimed on the radio that the organization is stating that Woodson is moving to FS "for sure".

I don't have an official link or anything, but what would you guys think of the move? It worked for another Woodson that played for the Raiders (Rod), and he was one of the best FS in the league IMO.

I wouldnt mind it but arent we paying him too much to play safety?

[Raider Shane]

I think he would be a great FS but we are paying way to much for him to play that position. He needs to stay at corner for at least another year. Hopefully help train our new guys and that will allow Stu to have a full year at safety under his belt. Stu should be our safety for the future.

Two years ago the Patriots used Ty Law as a FS. He was free to recognize coverages and pick up a man, or drop into a zone, or move up into run support. Ty Law did very well in that position as he is a ball hawking corner. I feel that if we can be comfortable with Nhamdi and Renaldo Hill as our two corners with Fabian Washington coming in as a nickel or dime, Woodson would be fine as a FS. Remember, just because that is the name for his position in a particular defensive package, it doesn't mean he isn't covering anyone. His coverage skills will still be utilized.

not going to happen

There is a good chance of this happening 4 games a year (Charges and Chiefs), he did a great job against the chiefs last year

I think if you're going to move Woodson to safety it has to be in surtain situations but not on all defensive plays....

i actully see it as a possibility for all the times the opposing team doesnt have a dominating wr. and when a dominant #1wr comes around, he should cover them.

[RaiderOfTheSith]

FS covers TE on alot of passing plays so that would be good against Gonzo and Gates maybe shockey this year. Personally I think its ALSO a ploy to get him to sign a long term cap friendly deal. If he switches to FS, how many teams are going to pay him CB money next year?? Remember he will hit the big 3-0 next year.

[NOTORIOUS68]

As much as we are pay this guy we should just use and abuse him ,if he doesn't want to sign a long term deal.....

Woodson would make a damn good FS. He has great coverage skills & he can tackle well. I think he'll play some FS in some situations but not fulltime.
