Flowers was a sub-par press-man corner because of size and athletic limitations.

If you're playing a Cover-2 or similar zone scheme, you should probably be just fine with Nelson wide. However, let's not forget that Flowers was a mediocre nickel on this team when we switched to Sutton's press-man scheme.

Don't just try to attach a 'name' former player to another prospect without considering how that player would fit in what we do now. You should be especially careful about doing so when said former player actually played in this system and didn't do it terribly well.
