Unit analysis: Safeties
AFC
Patriots: A Rodney Harrison hits like a truck. Eugene Wilson excels in coverage. Both are smart. Steelers: A-minus Troy Polamalu and Chris Hope are young, athletic and fast and hit like linebackers. Bills: B-plus Lawyer Milloy and Troy Vincent are intelligent and physical. The depth is good. Jaguars: B-plus Donovin Darius provides a presence over the middle; Deon Grant is reliable. Ravens: B Ed Reed is one of the NFL's best players, but Will Demps can be a liability in coverage. Broncos: B John Lynch and Nick Ferguson lack speed but excel against the run. Chargers: B-minus There are high hopes for Terrence Kiel and free-agent pickup Bhawoh Jue. Titans: B-minus Tank Williams makes big plays -- when healthy. Lamont Thompson is effective. Bengals: C-plus Madieu Williams is a blossoming star, but the run defense needs an enforcer. Colts: C-plus Bob Sanders and Mike Doss are big hitters with big futures, but they are green. Jets: C-plus Five have been drafted the past three years, but only Erik Coleman has worked out. Texans: C The starters are set with Marcus Coleman and Glenn Earl, but the depth is shaky. Chiefs: C Sammy Knight provides a fearsome presence, but Greg Wesley lost his fire in '04. Browns: C-minus Brian Russell is the only experienced starter; Brodney Pool and Sean Jones offer hope. Dolphins: C-minus Tebucky Jones and Travares Tillman both are suspect in coverage. Raiders: C-minus Even with a healthy Derrick Gibson, this group has plenty of room to improve. NFC Eagles: A Brian Dawkins and Mike Lewis form the best combination in the league. Cardinals: B-plus Adrian Wilson is coming off his best season; Robert Griffith brings experience. Vikings: B Darren Sharper is an upgrade; Corey Chavous must hold off Willie Offord. Seahawks: B Michael Boulware is a ballhawk; Ken Hamlin has a lot left to prove. Buccaneers: B Dexter Jackson and Jermaine Phillips are strong, physical defenders. Redskins: B Sean Taylor's concentration must match his talent; the run support is good. Lions: B-minus Kenoy Kennedy is a big hitter, and Terrence Holt has a lot of potential. Bears: C-plus SS Mike Brown and FS Mike Green have switched spots; they should fit better. Saints: C-plus Dwight Smith brings talent and playmaking ability; Jay Bellamy is underrated. Giants: C-plus Shaun Williams is trying to come back from injury; Gibril Wilson is promising. Panthers: C Much will depend on whether Thomas Davis plays here or at linebacker. 49ers: C SS Tony Parrish creates turnovers but lacks a veteran complement at free safety. Falcons: C-minus Bryan Scott is recovering from surgery; everyone else is old and slow. Rams: C-minus There are few sure things at the team's most unstable position. Cowboys: D Roy Williams is a star, but there is no depth and no proven starter at free safety. Packers: D-minus Darren Sharper is gone, and it will be a while before Nick Collins can fill his shoes. http://www.sportingnews.com/exclusiv...26/621963.html |
