You do realize if Shanny wants Moseley starting, then Moseley is starting.

And FWIW Eric Crocker agrees with Saleh.

I'm not sure why Spoon is even being considered?

He's like the PETTIS of our Defense... looks good on uniform, talks big... celebrate great... but CAN'T EVEN PLAY !!!

Each time a QB throws an INCOMPLETE pass to his side, Spoon acts like he had something to do with it !!! EVEN when it's WAYYYY OUT OF BOUNCEEE !!!

I'm baffled. This makes zero sense. He's just off and it's obvious to everyone but Saleh. And he was benched last game!

John Lynch or Shanny might have to pull rank here because Spoon hasn't played great for a while now. EMan did well during his 8 games as the starter and in crunch time last Game.

Moseley played great all season! Much better than Witherspoon. This is simply frustrating!

again, IF they start SPOONFED, it's only because they don't wanna hurt his butt-feeling and offend this over rated athlete..

I really hope that's not true; if so, Shannahan should be fired.

I just DON'T SEE any reason why he SHOULD start..

It's almost like Pettis on the other side of the ball..

Does the fact that Spoon was a draft pick (3rd?) and EMan an UDFA have a play in n this ? Maybe Spoons feelings would be hurt if he lost his job to an UDFA rookie ?

I just can't figure out Salehs decision here.

Yes of course. That always factors in. But it shouldn't.

The only thing I can think of is maybe spoon is out playing him in practice. Where is moseley is good and has been playing better than him in games, but hes not that type of super star where doesn't matter how he plays in practice, you start him.

Spoon is going to be on a real short leash. A couple of plays and he gets burned - Moseley will be in there.

If anyone knows Shanahan, from his press conference's to even players saying. He's 100% honest with his players, they even say they get mad because he's always truthful with them. If he decides to play Witherspoon, it's not going to be because he's afraid to hurt his feelings... Lol

Crock is usually spot on with DB and even WR's but he's admitted the last couple games he may have been wrong. We'll have to see. Let's just hope the pressure gets there and we won't need to worry about inconsistent CB play.
