Are we set at safety?

Rugby Saint II · 04-03-2012, 10:17 PM

Our strong safety is dynamite in the box and gets beat by big boys in coverage, but he is getting better each year.
We could expect to lose him for a game or two because of his aggressive demolishing hits.....it's a possibility I think.

Our free safety takes bad angles, doesn't tackle well and is always just a little too late. He missed Sharper more than anybody.
He was a slow corner we converted. I don't want to call it a failed experiment but when Sharper was here Jenkins played better.
I may get a few folks that won't agree.jmho
How set are we at the safety positions and depth?

At this point in the draft if we can get a good pass rusher or a good safety or both I they get a A in my book.

I do agree with you at the safeties. they might not be the best, but we should get more up front. A Dt or better De, with more pressure up front they should be ok. As far as the depth goes. I don't really have a clue. I did like that hit Abdul-Quddus laid on that giant wr, or TE. He should be ok

I’d rather a ball hawking safety than an aggressive hard hitting safety.

True I forgot the age of football we are playing now, with Roger Goodell at the wheel. Better go out an get a ball hawk now.

I'd like to see what Flajole can do with them, before everyone decides to start over...

My main concern would be Roman Harper getting suspended. I wouldn't be surprised if he was.

Yep,thats the problem.That leaves only Jenkins,that isnt that bad on his own,just needs someone that he can communicate with . Also,all of our defense deserves a better coaching staff,lets hope they have one now with Spag at the helm .

I can see what you mean but Harper hits like a MACK truck and I like that too. Has to be a nightmare to be a QB and see him coming around the corner.

In pass coverage you see him comming around the corner after you have crossed the goal line.
