Williams is rated the top nickle in the NFL.

lol do people even watch the games... Also I think hes ranked 2nd best corner out of all corners.

That's the thing people here talk real big to other fans because of something sherman says to pump up his teammates but here the thing go back to week 1 to now and look at which db is the one getting beat more often even in the browns game he got lucky not to give up and and come up with a give me interception.....I can honestly say from watching the games eman seems like a better db already and he Witherspoon and sherman would make this defense smother wrs with there technique and skill

Williams is playing well, no need to replace him in the lineup. Moseley is playing well and will be a heck of a rotational guy once Witherspoon comes back.

Nickle is in my opinion the most difficult position to shut down opposing receivers. The amount of routes and natural and illegal picks that get thrown to that position is crazy. So stating that he gets beat more often than outside corners is true but there are reasons. Outside Corners usually face longer developing routes ran vs them And it's nice cause our pass rush isn't giving the QBs enough time for those to develop.

Another thing is you can't just throw anyone in at nickel corner. You need lots of practice, communication and understanding of the defense. I'm not at all saying E man can't do it I'm saying that Williams has been great so far and we have a top rated defense with him in there and we face 3 teams who have very good receivers who work out of the slot. So don't fix what's not broken.
Kwan isn't a bad defender it's just that physically guys that are bigger more athletic wrs give him trouble and he does make up for it by playing sound football I just think eman has the fluidity to turn his hips just as good as kwan and be able to match up better vs bigger more athletic receivers...now on fast twitchy receivers I'm good with kwan being the man

For example if spoon was healthy during browns game I would rather have eman in the nickle that game i feel it would matchup better

Not every outside CB can come inside and play flawlessly at NB. Outside CBs have the sidelines to their advantage, NB doesn't and has to cover more ground. Not saying Eman can't do it, but he needs a lot of practice to be able to do so. Anyhow, why change it if the defense is playing lights out as a whole group with the lineup we have now?

so what? He's barely played and played well. He gives us decent depth.

lol ok.

Sloppy conditions hurt Washington in the pass game today (in limited attempts), but with Witherspoon expected to be back for the Panthers game I wanted to give a shout out to Eman. In 3 games + the last quarter of the Pittsburgh game he was essentially lights out, with a huge deflection in the endzone against the Browns as his highlight over that time. Way to go, Moseley!

At this point, I'm fairly certain we can just keep Sherman and EMan on the bench and play with 9. Our front 4 and 7 is that good.

This guy hasn't given up much of anything these past three games as a starting CB! And, he's a good tackler who's not afraid to stick his nose in there.
He might be even with Spoon right now.
