Change At CB Position ?

Coach Ron Rivera said on Friday the only members of the secondary guaranteed a starting spot are safeties Quintin Mikell and Mike Mitchell.

That means Captain Munnerlyn, who is only guaranteed a role as the starting nickel back, is in danger of losing his left cornerback spot and Melvin White his right corner position.

Munnerlyn was beaten by Miami receiver Mike Wallace for a 53-yard touchdown pass and a 57-yarder that resulted in a field goal in the first half. He also was beaten deep later in the game, but Wallace was overthrown.

White struggled in the 24-20 victory against New England two weeks ago and was inconsistent against the Dolphins.

“Your job is to keep it [play] in front of you and you have to,'' Rivera said after the game. "And we’re going to address that and make sure that it gets corrected. We’re going to play the guy that will do the things we ask him to do and do them the right way.

I don't get why they don't just use the same personnel as the last game against the Bucs...it's not like our DBs have regressed since then.  They just didn't match up well against Wallace in Miami.  White had an off game against the Patriots but he didn't look bad against the Dolphins last week, I just saw him get burned by Hartline once on an intermediate route.  Our DBs have already proven they could play well against the TB receivers in the last matchup.  Just use what works...maybe we could evaluate some new changes at the CB position against the Saints, but for game 2 against the Bucs we've already been there before and had some success.
