Safety

BlackandBlue · 05-07-2004, 08:05 AM

I had planned on linebacker being the big question mark for the Saints, heading into the fall, but I'm actually more concerned about the safety position, considering that we didn't draft one like I thought we would. TJones is our starting FS, and that's the best news coming from this position. Mitchell will not be 100% by the beginning of the season, Bellamy, although coming off a career year, does have some negative quallitites, and the DUI arrest doesn't help matters much either. Green was allowed to leave, and Gleason I've only seen on special teams. Is Gleason ready to step up and play? I don't know, I am not in a position to go to any of the training camps.
Is anyone else concerned? What options are available? I believe we have to sign another safety at some point before the season begins. Cie Grant at SS? Hasn't been discussed at all, but he's played the position in college. Seattle is going to move Boulware to safety, which I think is better suited for his skills.
