Read-Option: The Future Of Tampa’s DBs

Now I want to put you in the driver’s seat – or the defensive coordinator’s seat.

Has rookie M.J. Stewart impressed you enough in camp to give him the most reps of any of the non-starters at defensive back on Thursday against Miami? Are you someone who sees Stewart as just a slot guy or do you think his ceiling is higher? Can he play as an outside cornerback?

Who would you rather have at outside cornerback if an injury occurs: Vernon Hargreaves or Stewart?

And let’s take this a little further down the road. Brent Grimes is likely gone after this season and Ryan Smith could be gone, too. Do you think Davis and Stewart are the future starting cornerbacks for this team? Is Hargreaves in that mix for you as a slot or an outside cornerback? Do you like what you’ve seen from Stewart and Davis to let Smith and Grimes go without hesitation?

Which cornerbacks on the roster right now do you hope the Bucs build their defensive back room around? Let’s hear it.
