Who should start opposite of Sherman: Witherspoon or Moseley?

I think the biggest reason for Spoon's inconsistent play lately has more to do with Harris being on the field. We all know Tart is the better player but his biggest strength is his communication with Ward, the DB's and the rest of the defense. I think when Tart is on the field the communication on the back end is quicker, clear and decisive which puts Spoon in position to play at the top of his game.

Shanny: "I'm going to keep that to ourselves for as long as I can, who is going to start."

Spoon: "It's me. Yep me me. I'm starting!"

Shanny: " This guy gives up information as easily as he gives up catches!!! EMAN get in there! "
I do know that I was stunned at Kyle's allegiance to Jimmy Ward after his injury history and just not looking good, but I have to say he was right, so i am willing to trust him here in spite of it seeming to make no sense to me. I just hope it is that kind of a situation, and not one like when he banged the table for Joe Williams and Dante Pettis in the draft. Williams obviously had issues and didn't deserve it, and Pettis is riding the pine after regressing this year. If we lose because of it, I will be really, really sad.

I think Moseley for this one, he's playing slightly better for me and matches up better with Diggs and Thelien.

I still think Spoon is a good player, just a bit inconsistent.

Moseley, he showing more confidence as apposed to Witherspoon who is burnt toast.
Spoon is the better coverage corner when he's playing at his best. Getting benched has motivated Spoon in the past. Just guessing, but I bet Spoon has had a strong week of practice or he wouldn't be starting. I would start Spoon.

I think the starter title is completely arbitrary really in this case. I think Spoon starts because like a previous poster stated he is better in coverage at his best. That being said, KS has had no hesitation pulling players or making adjustments if needed so he will be on a short leash.
Well there you go. Moseley should have been named starter. Witherspoon giving up a first down, PI, and long TD.
Decision might cost us.

He's only been good for a handful of games in his entire career here
