1. I don't think we will end up playing nearly as much zone under Flus as we did under Dungy. I think we will see a TON of man and mixed coverage rather than almost all pure zone like in the old days.

2. I don't mind Melvin coming back but I have other free agent CBs that I would rather sign if it is an either/or thing:

Tier A: Malcolm Butler, Prince Amukamara
Tier B: Aaron Colvin, Ross Cockrell, Trumaine Johnson, Kyle Fuller

All 6 of those guys have longer sustained superior performance and experiece over Melvin, IMO.

We need to sign an experienced veteran to be the CB1 while Wilson, Moore, Hairston and White (plus a rookie?) develop and I think Melvin can be that guy.

But I like the other guys better.

But, as long as we don't overpay him, I would be fine with Melvin as long as it then allows us to add another veteran LB, O-Lineman, DE or WR/RB in the first phase of free agency.

Walk Worthy,
