Football is a sport where a player's value and production can vary based on scheme. Talent is talent, but sometimes a square peg-round hole situation can prevent a player from playing to his full potential. Personnel types are forever looking for the right scheme fits.
The New York Jets say they've accomplished that with Morris Claiborne, a press-man cornerback whom they believe was miscast in the Dallas Cowboys' zone-based scheme.
"I remember when he came out in the [2012] draft and we saw him as a press-man corner, and we were really high on him," defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers said last week.
