| Nice, I was wondering why no one picked Coleman up. He's decent starting material, I think he could come in and supplement the rookies for a few until one of them is ready to take over. I picture Lacy as exclusively a nickel corner. |

He's serviceable, not expecting much as a starter although I think he'll stick around and make the roster. Unlike most of the other signings, this one really impacts our depth.

Everything I've read pretty much says Coleman is best suited at nickel as well.

| Every bit as good as Berry, I like it. Dump the wanna be gangsta and sign someone of equal or greater talent, works for me. |

Nice signing for the Lions. You can never stop upgrading your depth. I like the move.

He is. He's fantastic as the nickel, but seemed to really struggle any time he was asked to play outside for us. If you play him as a nickel, expect him to be a bright spot on that defense, but don't be surprised if he is a liability if he's asked to start. The lack of versatility to play outside is why he was let go by Jacksonville.

Nice to hear that he does well in the nickel. Great depth signing and has shown that playmaking ability.
Doesn't look like he will make it as a starter though. We have Houston and then who for #2?

Sounds like every other CB on our roster not named Chris Houston.

I really liked Coleman was kinda hoping he would end up back in NY lol  he had 4 sacks and 5 FF with a pick in his last year in Ryan's defense.

I think Greenwood has the most potential outside. Too bad he's hurt. :/

not a bad pick up for whats out ther. not sure what he plays best at press,off,or zone but seems to make some plays when hes in...could be a nice playmaker in the nickel if needed. but dam how many nickelbacks we got.. not sure i could trust houston to stay healthy a whole year. not looking good..hope we win alot of shootouts..

Right now it's probably Lacey. I expect though before the end of the year that it'll be Bentley as our #2.
