Agreed, he'll never be a Polomalu (a pure stud SS) or an Ed Reed (a pure stud FS), but he can be a very solid combination of the two, which is fine by me.

In the new age of pass happy offenses, he's the new breed... FSS (Free-Strong Safety).

Of course its only paper speculation for now.

BillyT81,
I can totally understand your point of view and incredulous outlook for Vacarro but TRUST and BELIEVE.

Lebowski (Ryan) will have these boys ready to play on D. Lots of new YOUNG faces, seasoned vets, and a Head Coach who will push players like never before.

Sorry for my pissy attitude. Of course I believe were going to the bowl. I'm bitter cuz we didn't get any of LSUs players. I thought Vaccaro shoulda been Reid. I'm gettin over it, on my way to get my Vaccaro jersey now.

Anyone can see Harp has hands of stone. No one's ever suggested otherwise.

But he's a heck of a lot better than most here give him credit for, he just can't catch a football to save his life.

He's done okay catchin' quarterbacks though.
