Matt Bowen: 6-1, 203
Coy Wire: 6-0, 205
Virtually a wash, but since Bowen is hurt, Coy is the biggest DB remaining, and since his greatest strength is stopping the run, they put him in on running plays. The quote says since stopping the run in "HIS" best attribute they only put him in on running plays. It doesn't say his run stopping ability is better than Bowens.
