Just got the pink slip from the bills. He's surely better than Lacey for the number 2 slot right?

idk...Florence(31) on the downside of his career....Lacey only 25, maybe he is on the upside, either way I dont like our #2 CB position currently
 
I think Lacey is better than Wright. He was in coverage and run D at least last year. Wright has better ball skills.

Better balls skills just means you're more worried about getting an INT than trying to cover someone or tackle someone.
 
I think Wright jumps routes better and has better hands. Thats what I mean with ball skills. Wright was bad at coverage though and may have been too risky.

That's why he gets burnt many times. I rather have someone than can just cover a bit and tackle.

Agreed which is what you get with Lacey, plus better run defense. Lacey gave up 2 TDs last year but he played much less than Wright did at times. One of those tds was that ridiculous juggling catch you see Bowe make all the time on NFL Network commercai for top plays.

Carolina,GB,New Orleans, Oakland, San Diego Wright did not play well. Garbage time TD vs Denver and not that great on MNF. Good in playoff game though and better than I thought at Lambeau.

Berry > Wright or Lacey

Lacey is the best at run D and close to Berry in coverage. We may see Lacey in Wrights role on 1st and 2nd and then Berry comes in the nickel again o nthe outside depending if Lacey can play the slot. Plus there is unknown Bentley and Greenwood. Just as long as I don't see Alphonso Smith or Brandon McDonald anywhere near the field I'll be happy.
 
I'd rather we just hold what we got and develop our young guys.
 
My thoughts on adding Florence:

When you add a pile of shit to more shit. All your left with is......shit.
 
Lacey plays the run well. As for his cover skills? Disgusting to say the least....
