With Rafael Bush, you've got one great rotation...

We need a ball-hawking FS, I'm with you, draft 1 and let Junkins go. Yes it is spelled right.

Calling an active roster safety junk while we are still in playoffs? C'mon man.
Try not to let the door hit you on the way back to Atlanta.

Jenkins has above decent coverage skills. He's not the best tackler. I still see him more as cb than any safety position...

With all the injuries we have in the defensive backfield, I thought we couldnt afford to cut anyone in those positions.

If you are Pete Carroll, would you try and bring Isa Abdul-Quddus onto your roster now?

Knowing him, IMHO yes.

Would ISA go? Maybe, a chance to get a ring, and a little pissed how things turned out with the Saints.

Thought IAQ was going to be good. It takes more than talent though.

It may be that IAQ just isn't a good fit for Ryans defense. We've seen the square per round hole effect on good players before.

He'll probably catch on somewhere and do well.

I never saw this coming. Especially now.

If you look at snap counts for the season it would suggest that Jenkins Vaccaro as 1 and 2 with Bush coming in for the 3 safety sets.

Jenkins 84 %
Vaccaro 81%
Bush 53%

Bush was still playing quite a bit even before Harper got hurt though. He played 22 snaps in week 1. I think that our brilliant DC recognized that he's a pretty good player a long time before any of us did.
