Clayton says Law is still in play

He struggled for 3 years in Spinner's scheme because he wasn't able to line up at the LOS and man up on the receivers.

I was one of the few that defended him in those years, because I recognized that Spinner didn't utilize his strengths.

Putting him at nickel will put him in a position that again exposes his weakness, and he'll revert back to the "Toast" that everyone labeled him.

On the other hand, McPassOn played well in Spinner's scheme, and is much better suited for the nickel than Warfield.

IMO, if Law were brought in, Warfield becomes an expensive benchwarmer by midseason.
That, or he is really crisp by seasons end.

Something I hadn't thought of earlier.

Again, only for the sake of argument, if Law joins our secondary, he is more versatile than Warfield.
He excels in any scheme.
He can man up and punch the receiver in the mouth off the line, or give the receiver space and still make a play on the ball.

In a base defense, Surtain and Law are your 2 corners.

In nickel packages, you could line up Warfield on the receiver at the line with Law playing the slot.

McPassOn would be the dime.

We would have the best secondary in the league, hands down.

But it's all only a pipe dream.
