Answer on the roster?

With news Brian Blechen has shed some weight and will be converted to a saftey do you think we will be stagnant at finding more saftey depth?

he did play safety in college so i think it could workout

Backup safety?

Yes, the answer is likely either on the roster or a pre-season camp cut.

Love it. We need an enforcer. Not saying he'll start but he will set the tempo when he's on the field.

As a backup for Adams and Coleman? Sure

Folks, we have safeties.

Coleman/Adams is a good combo.  Now do we have starter level depth? No but who does?

The position is stable I'm not sure why this is still a huge deal?

Wasn't Marlowe going to be the starter before he got hurt?

I believe you are correct or atleast they were planning on giving him a lot of playing time. Coaches really liked him but he had injuries. If I remember correctly his injury wasn't that serious but we needed room on the roster so we put him on IR.

 

someone else we shouldn't sleep on is Blechen. I remember last preseason he played well when moved to safety so maybe a year on the PS at safety will make him good enough to make the roster.

I honestly just hate seeing Colin jones anywhere but in special teams

Could be a another UDFA that becomes something for us.   He was listed as a LB but was a Safety.  Dropped 20 lbs and can fill the role as a safety.  If he is smart and can work within the scheme he could be  a solid backup.

So we are keeping 3 Strongs and 1 free?  I am guessing Marlowe, Adams, and Coleman are locks.  Blechen is an "in the box" SS (see Harper, Roman).  I am not that familiar with Marllowe's ability to play free safety.  If he cannot (and I realize the S roles are rather interchangeable in this system) is this a competition between Marlowe and Bletchen, while we still need a FS.
