Free Safety

[Trample the Elderly]

I just went over to the Skins Official site and they're talking about Reed and Kareem being the FS? In my opinion Horton and Kareem would be better at FS. Laron and Reed would be best at SS. Making Reed a FS would be a huge mistake and a waste of my ability.

What Sayeth the Mob?

Reed, Horton & Laron IMO are all SS the only FS is Kareem. Horton & Reed don't have the speed to play FS IMO they would really need to know their assignments & trust their teammates in order for them to play FS.

I agree with this...and simply would add....Is Kareem a starter right now in this league?

I dont think so, and by the time the season begins I say we are starting someone else not mentioned. Most likely a cut player.

I don't see how it would waste your ability, nor his. We'll have to see all what they're doing with the safeties. It seems like we won't have a lone guy back all of the time, so if Reed only has to cover half of the field a good amount of the time no big deal hopefully.

In the article Moore spoke of Reed having some abilities he wished he had and mentioned how intelligent Reed is. They're trying different things right now. Moore seems to be picking things up from Reed and that is a good thing. There's still a ways to go before the season starts.

FS will probably be a revolving door depending on the situation

I, too, am nervous about Reed and FS. I wish we would pick up another FS for better depth.

Uh, have you forgot about Lendy Holmes?

Yes, I did forget about him. But if Moore gets hurt, do you really want Holmes starting at FS? We need a second starting quality FS and all of our other safeties (besides Holmes) seem best at SS.

Is Fred Smoot still on the team?

That's what I was hoping for after OT in the draft. Can't always get what you want.

If we sign Atogwe after June 1, we could have our best safety tandem since #21 was on the gridiron.

Ummm, LaRon is still our free safety. Better coaches get better result from better players and suck as he may at times no one is a better FS on our roster than LaRon.

This, but I do think we are going to see some switched up looks from all the safeties multiple times a game. (LaRon blitz from a SS look, then drop back to FS the the next play, etc..)

Laron didn't bulk up like that to play FS.
