Wouldn't it be smarter to have two great CB's, DE's, WR's, etc... vs. the safety position? I still can't believe we drafted this guy instead of a D-Lineman. I think it'll set our franchise back years. When we DID draft him, I was positive that Gibbs had a veteran DE in the works - but so far nothing.

WTF are we thinking? Am I the only one nervous about this move?

Ok - that said, I want to be optimistic about this season - so I won't bring it up again...

no way you put thought into what you said. first of all safety might be one of if not the most important position on a defense, esspecially in todays game where passing is so stressed.....they call the coverages every play much like oline men do when you see them pointing and talking. another thing they add is the style in which the guys in front of them can play much more aggressive. but i am not gonna sit here and argue about why safety is important cause there are hundreds esspecially in todays style game. but see you can say the same things about every position.......hey we only need on good pass rushing end and the other a run stopper why paying them both....corners we only need one shutdown corner and another corner who can just get by. all of it is false you put the best players on the field that you can and it doesnt matter position...thats why we didnt draft dline cause landry was a better player than the dlineman available......dont jump on the media bandwagon usually its wrong.
