GM scud,
we couldn't possibly do worse at the Safety position than we did in 2006.
AdamJT13, who always has great info on the salary cap, says this over at ***Hamlin signed per the Ticket / Espn News 1 yr-2.5m*** - Page 11 - Dallas Cowboys Forums - CowboysZone.com
“For what it’s worth, Ken Hamlin was a Pro Bowl alternate this past season.
According to STATS LLC., there were 102 safeties who played enough last season to have at least 10 passes thrown at them. Of those 102 safeties, Keith Davis ranked 102nd — dead last — in yards allowed per attempt. Pat Watkins ranked 101st — next-to-last. Davis also ranked 99th in completion percentage allowed, and Watkins ranked 80th…..”
He then gives Hamlin’s stats which needless to say are much better than these. Read the whole thing. This is a significant upgrade although I remanin hopeful that Watkins will develop into a long term answer.
Our Free Safety's were TERRIBLE. 102, and 101, out of 102 Safetys in the NFL.
Sad...
