This could meen we end up changing both starting safties from last year, in fact it could make Smoot the only surviving starter from the secondary unit along two out of three new starters in the LB corp and only possibly Wynn remaining from last years starting D-line and even that is not given . Thats alot of changes they kind of crept up on me.

Isn't Lott a bit small to be playing strong safety? Maybe we should give Iffy a shot at strong safety, he's a big guy

Tod Franz did have a nice INT there, good read. dont know if hes starting caliber, but he played well last season as a reserve. Him and Lott have played better than Bowen or Iffy thus far this pre-season, but we must wait a little longer to see who is the best.

Perhaps Iffy's confidence is shot after Taylor being drafted and Lott playing ahead of him in camp. I've never thought that much of him anyway, he's an average player. I won't cry if he's cut.
Yeah, average could even be generous. Is it possible he did not stand out as so bad last year because the entire defense stunk it up so bad? The D already looks 180 degrees out from last year's crew, and they're just getting warmed up.

even without champ, our d is much better this year thus far (read: williams), our LBs are much better, and we got taylor (and more depth on a D-line that's still average)...
taylor, lott, franz, bowen... that's my personal safety depth chart right now... is it the vanilla schemes? taylor and lott picked it up fine...
