If he can catch this guy, I'm not worried about his speed.

Drafting Vacarro was the smartest thing they did. They now have two safeties that can come up and play man to man against the tight ends and slot receivers of the NFL. This guy is a sure tackler and turnover machine, which we were lacking in both areas. Dude is a playmaker.

The void left by sharper may have just been filled.

Thats the feeling I'm getting from this aswell

I honestly think our defense is going to be solid. Atleast enough for Drew and the boys to score 30+ and laugh

I will never confuse him with Earl Thomas, but in the games I have seen over the course of two years, he has been a pretty solid tackler. With a little more attention to detail, I think he can be 'coached up' quite nicely.

Then we better have some luck at WR!

i would not line him up in the slot against any jitterbugs. they will eat him alive like any other safety.

He's a corner who hits like a safety.
