As expected

I'm also guessing Bush may have a broken collar bone after hearing reports that he was seen in a sling after the game.

How is the best safety from last year and this preseason, being the only one to EVER make a play, P. Warren, not on the team? Phillips deserved to be cut and in no way makes the team better.

I thought Philips looked like our best safety in pre-season.

And Pierre Warren may also be re-signed at some point.

Kenny is a SS that can play FS equally well.

Pierre Warren is a pure center field FS.

KP was the best safety this preseason, he had the most tackles out of anyone. PW have great instinct being a balhawk and I will be happy if we signed him but no way did he out play KP

Kenny Phillips at 100% health is as good or better than any safety we've had since Darren Shraper.

Its always been about him being healthy.

If we can get Phillips and Byrd at 100%, it might be our best safety tandem ever, or close to it.

I agree...and he also seemed to know the scheme better than those who have been here. He knew where to be and like you said is versatile to play either FS or SS. I honestly feel like the defense just got a little better.

There's a chance Byrd will be back this week (but probably more like week 3.)

It was really encouraging watching Bush get pushed half the length of the field by that tight end... Fells, I believe it was. Looked like he got hit by a tornado.

Phillips should have been on the roster in the first place. He's no savior, but I think he's better than Bush.
