Who are your starting Safeties

Meriweather hasn't been practicing fully. He's had several limited practices. And I think maybe even some days of no practice

Thanks for clearing that up SS. I knew I hadn't heard much about him. Certainly not that he was full go in practice.

What's the chance Amerson starts at one of the 2 CB positions? Anybody going for a bold prediction that amerson wins a starting job? I think it's 50 percent right now.

Personally I've believed from day one Amerson would start on day one. Can't say I thought the same for Baccari.

I think our secondary moves players in and out enough that it doesn't really matter.

Rambo and Merriweather but I'm with FRPLG on this one. We probably will see Reed rotating with Rambo sometimes through out games, depending on plays and how Rambo process everything during game time.

Based on what I've seen from him and the uncertainty of Josh Wilson making the roster, I could easily see Amerson starting. His potential is much great than Josh's right now. Plus his size is much better for the WRs of the NFC East than Wilson.

An update on Meriweather's practice time:

Strong safety Brandon Meriweather won't play Monday, but he did participate in four consecutive days of practice, albeit on the practice team. But that represents progress for Meriweather, who had been in and out of workouts while recovering from last season's ACL surgery.

Redskins' practice notes - NFC East Blog - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/blog/nfceast/post/_/id/54299/redskins-practice-notes)

I think in the first game against Vick and Chip Kelly's fast-paced offense, Rambo should sit the entire game. Reed or Gomes should start at Strong Safety and Merriweather at Free Safety. Rambo will be too much of a liability against Vick.

With Reed or Gomes, there is a good chance that Vick gets roughed up and hurt. I would also start Amerson over Josh Wilson based on his size and more physical play. This would be my answer to that fast-paced offense - agressive, physical tacklers (especially in the secondary). This would eventually wear and slow them down physically and negate the offense's effectiveness.

Why would you think that Rambo would be a liability but not Amerson? Both are rookies and will be game-planned against for the first time; most likely neither will look good the first game. Anyway, even if Rambo would be a big liability, I would much rather start him than Gomes or even Doughty. If Rambo gets burned a couple of times, it will be a good learning experience. Gomes is a scrub and I don't want Doughty on the field unless he's needed. I think Rambo and Amerson should both start.

Based on preseason play, Amerson has looked more than solid against good players and Rambo looks to be a big liability in the run game. He will be very risky against the eagles running game with Vick and McCoy. Being a rookie adds to that risk in the passing game especially at safety. Safety usually provides the help to other teammates and thus doesn't receive a lot of it (help). Amerson is playing at a higher level than Rambo right now and seems to be gaining confidence and getting better - in both the running and passing game. At the very least Reed Doughty provides a sure and physical tackler that would help contain Vick in the running and also use in blitz packages. The improved Redskins pass rush will also help Doughty in the passing game.
