It don't work.

I gave two very recent examples that say otherwise.

I wouldn't do it with Bell, but Green has all the tools to be a great press man corner.

This is a different league now. It's happening a lot more often (both ways) with success.

How is it different in that aspect?

It's possible but those 2 success stories seem more outliers

Because it's become a league about traits (and it's always been about trends).

You can take college safeties like Randle and Rowe with the elite measurables and traits to play corner and you let them run around and chase these athletes at the WR position. It isn't hard to coach a guy to play press man. That's why they were able to have success their rookie seasons despite the lack of experience.

For the record, I'm not saying we should do this, but this is the way it's being done right now, and I think it's a possibility we should consider Dorsey going with.
