That should be interesting.

To be blunt, not gonna happen.

You're right, but Percy is a bad mofo and I wouldn't doubt that he could do it. Head case that he is he's a rare athlete. Walked within 4 or 5 feet of him one time and the dude looked like a Pitbull in the face and neck.

If he does play defense, which is highly unlikely, then it will only be on a prevent defense when they have nothing to lose.

What you did there, I see it.

Percy isn't the only one smoking blunts. He's spent 2/3 of his career on the disabled list from his limited use as an occasional slot receiver as it is. How could getting him a bunch of hits at CB be anything helpful?

I thought what you were about to say was ..."walk within 4 or 5 feet of him and he gets injured - or a headache"

Rex Ryan is clearly smoking Percy's stash.

I don't think Neon Deon laid a single lick as a CB. So it's possible.

I like Percy but his "Soft Ass" wouldn't make it through week 2 playing CB. Playing on the Defensive side of the ball takes a whole different mentality/toughness that he doesn't possess.

 

[CaribGator]

Obviously a ploy to obfuscate the OC and get him out of his game plan. Now if does see any snaps there, after getting burned for a TD it will be the end of latest greatest 2 way player.

He was a bad MFer at safety in high school. Big difference between HS and NFL, but he could do it no problem with his athletic ability and ball skills, There is no way in hell this should actually happen in game unless it is end of game prevent type of situation like JB said though.

 

[Delg8tor]

There is no doubt that Percy is an extraordinary athlete and a great football player when healthy. Could he do it if he stayed healthy? No doubt he has the athleticism, he just doesn't have the healthy body to be able to pull it off anymore. At least not at this level.

 

[PatDooleySucks]

God Percy was fun to watch. Remember how Debose was supposed to be the "next" Percy

As long as you are disruptive who needs to tackle?
That's why they call those other guys 'Safeties'.

His biggest problem has been injuries - so it's not going to matter where he plays if he can't play.

Percy is always healthy in his money year
