Shaq Thompson officially the starter Sunday

[Moorgan]

Shaq as the starter is the correct move.

Now Tre Boston needs to be starting over Coleman. That may take a big play or two where Coleman and Harper get burned for touch downs, but it will happen. Just wish the move was made so they have a safety on the field who can cover ground, Coleman and Harper are not coming across the field to intercept the ball near the sideline when a top QB was certain the receiver was wide open.

Learn the hard way. Need to move Boston to starting FS and Coleman to SS. Harper comes in for Coleman on red zone packages and dime packages.

Didn't Coleman get an INT on Tom Brady? And he led AZ in INTs last year. Granted with 3 but the point is, it looks like he's more than capable in coverage.

Coleman > Boston

Yeah Coleman thoroughly outperformed Boston.  No saying Boston isn't any good; on the contrary, it adds some great depth.

Thrilled Shaq has developed so quickly in spite of the various challenges that he's named a starter.  Awesome.

As for the Boston vs. Coleman debate, I predict Coleman could vie for a spot as one of our core defensive players.  Not only does he look like a great ball hawk who is physical and TOUGH, he seems to have that fire and ability to motivate the D.  TD leads as the emotional heart (and of course his pro-bowl level performance too.)  Luke with his outstanding motivation, commitment and technical skill.  Coleman could be the "fire in the belly" guy - he's the one coaches had to remind not to pound our own O players during Camp!  I'm LOVING what I see of him. 

I'm thinking Harper will be gone next year?  Not sure of his contract status though...

Boston still has some growing to do.  Nothing wrong with that, considering he was a late round pick anyway.

the best thing about shaq starting is Davis and Luke are going to tell him exactly what to do, where to go, and who to cover. 

He just gets to be an athletic freak.
