Interesting bit:
BA sure seems to be a top notch contract guy.
amen to that. He's doing his part, now we just need Shanny to bat above .600 or so w/player evaluation for the draft & FA. For this team to win now or next year he'll have to bat closer to .800

What, a strong safety, free safety and....middle safety? :D
I guess we're switching to the 3-3 defense this year. Or, are we just cutting Carlos and letting D-Hall be the only CB on the field?
No, they will all be on the field in certain situations. We face the eagle's twice and you can bet your ass Landry will be shadowing Vick while Moore/Atogwe play SS/FS. Also, you will see Moore on the field covering TEs against the Pats and Cowboys. There will be plenty of opportunities for all 3 to be on the field!

Is the team keeping Kemo or do they consider him a non-factor and letting him walk? Just thinking about his injury - it might take a solid season (2010) playing on his ankle to accelerate full recovery. Resting it could make all the difference for 2011 season.

I like what I see in the highlights. This guy isn't just playing on instinct. Most of those ints are from a combination of route recognition and watching the QB. Very likely they're coming from film study as well. Some of these look like a quick diagnosis and a very easy pick because he knows where the ball is going.
Worst case scenario (given that he's healthy) is that we end up with a good number of picks/fumbles and a good number of blown coverages a la D. Hall.
Best case scenario is that we just signed another London Fletcher type to play free safety.
I'll concur that this is a reasonable contract for this guy and filling holes with FAs that can still play that don't cost us picks is fine by me.

He was supposed to be let go yesterday I thought. Not sure why he wasn't. I don't think he's in their plans though

CB Barnes, FS Otogwe, SS Landry, CB Hall as our starting secondary.
Resign Buchannon as our nickel, and keep Moore as our backup safety. Wouldnt have to worry about the secondary in the draft which leaves more picks available for other positions on the defense. Maybe need to sign a few undrafted DBs to compete for a roster spot. Im thinking Rogers will be too expensive to resign.
Would love for Von Miller to fall to us, but Quinn or Aldon Smith wouldnt be bad choices either.
D could really improve if we can get a good outside rusher opposite of Rak daddy along with already improved secondary.

The last 2 or 3 games he played in he didn't do that bad. NT is a really big concern if we don't get Bryant some first string help. Luckily, this draft has a few good candidates that can play the nose.

So, given that:
1- your pro's (proven player, apparent good contract) aren't enough for you to have a positive response,
2- the team has more pressing needs (at least NT and QB) that have to be addressed in the draft
How should the team have addressed the FS spot in your opinion? or are you saying that you are good with Doughty/Moore until a high draft pick could be used for the position.
IMO go get a guy in the later rounds. Find a diamond in the rough. Coach up Moore and get him healthy. That's how I'd address it. Chasing a 30 year old safety when you're not contending for a Super Bowl makes 0 sense.

OJ and Hasslett work well together. OJ is a proven NFL caliber FS, that is talented and athletic and produces. He plays the QB position of the secondary. You entrust that to Kareem Moore? I do not. Let Kareem learn and develop under OJ. I still feel Kareem is going to a good FS one day. He is not ready to lead at this time. OJ is ready to lead.
The FS position is too important to leave to a bunch of question mark type players.
