Safety looks as unsafe as ever

Move Cash to SS ffs

You did see him get trucked by Matt Cassell right?  Not exactly something I'd want from my safety who is responsible for playing in the box.

preseason is the time to work out what needs to be worked out. I am confident we will sign a better safety if we decide the answers are not on the roster. We may see some Shaq/Kurt Coleman safety tandems

I think S is a position where you likely can snag a decent vet at cuts.  I'm sure there will be teams that cut an expensive vet to go young. 

I'm most worried about WR.  We need speed. Fast WRs that can seperate and run decent routes arent something you can find often easily at cut time.

Could just put Shaq back at SS and just see what he looks like back there, at least

It's giant red flag how the Colts (who need all the safety help they can possibly get) just let Adams walk for pennies.

 

its the same concern I have about Peppers.

[Proudiddy]

Yeah, I am concerned that Adams may have fell off the other side of the hill.  He was WAY out of position and couldn't recover.  For a guy whose advantage is his headiness and being able to read plays and play angles and such, that can't happen.

Was one of the few scratching my head after the Tre Boston situation. Guess we could do worse after all.

[TheSpecialJuan]

Hurney might have to do something desperate like trade a pick for a backup safety.

[CarolinaSamurai]

Now hear me out. I think Teddy Williams should be a SS. He's not great in coverage and usually gets easily fooled. However his run support and tackling are damn impressive. 

[DonTeel]

Revis is still out there.  He could make that transition easily.  Sure tackler, great vision, and hands.  Just not elite speed anymore.  But plenty left for a good safety. 

[top dawg]

I would love for Revis to come here and make the transition. The question is the price. I'm sure it would bring a lot of upset to Adams. I wonder what we're on the hook for with him.

[LinvilleGorge]

Revis is a pure mercenary. He's just waiting for some team to suffer an injury at CB and get desperate enough to overpay him.

And we thought we could do better than Tre Boston. 

I think starters wise, we are way better off with our current safeties. However, the only question remains whether or not we should have kept him as a backup. From all reports, Boston was a great locker-room presence which was seen through his activity on social media. It almost like the team did him a solid by cutting him so he could get a chance to go start elsewhere. I believe that that the FO let him go because they didn't want to force him from a starter to a backup role. Good business move? Probably not. Something the Panthers organization would do? Absolutely.

I hope we didn't release him simply because we didn't want to force him into a backup role. It happens on every team in the NFL. You have to have some depth on your roster because not everyone can start. If you're under contract, you're under contract. If you think you should be the starter, then beat out your competition.
