They typically don't use either to cover anyone. Neither are good, but McKinney's athleticism will allow him to get better at it. Cushing was never that good at it, let alone now with most of his athleticism all but gone. When coverage capabilities are warranted, they get out of base and into nickel. Typically leaving the lone ILB to either spy or shadow a RB.
yep, that was my suggestion a few days ago as well. He can play inside or out depending on Shorts and Strong. Could come at a bargain after his last couple of years. And would be a nice outlet for Brock to have

Coleman plays outside while Amendola can play in the slot which we desperately need. I'd cut Shorts for Amendola if needed.
a) then how did Houston outbid Super Bowl champion Denver for Osweiler?; 2) you're aware the Patriots just traded their best defensive player for cap relief, both now and down the road?
Concerning the Patriots and the Jones trade, time will tell. The deal allowed the Patriots to add Long, Bennett and an OL that they really like.
C'mon an OL that the really like? The guy has played like 5 games in 3 seasons, how can they really like him? The move is basically to plan for the future, they have a lot of guys they are going to have to pay next season, at least 4 guys on the defense are up for new deals.
The Patriots were high on him when he came out of the draft. He was a high first round pick, I would not be shocked at all if they get good production out of him, talent isn't an issue. The Jones move financially allowed the Patriots to fill several holes. I would not be surprised at all if they are better after adding Long, Bennett and Cooper. The Patriots were first or second last season at rushing the passer, they have a lot of depth in that area.
They also added Shea McLellan. I think they'll be better next year and are the favorites in the AFC going into the year. In fact I think they might be a significant favorite to make the superbowl.

I don't blame him for not wanting to stay. If he can beat out Savage for the #2 job, he has the chance to get in a game due to injury or incompetence. It'll be interesting to see if they can't get rid of him before the draft. If they don't, then I don't see them drafting a QB at any point.
Right; they needed to create cap space to address multiple needs - and did so by trading perhaps their best defensive player: how is that a "better cap situation" than the Texans'?
LOL of course he loves playing for BOB, no other head coach would let him start. Ever. Even if they did make that mistake, he'd likely get pulled really quickly and cut afterwards.
