thesouphead Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 john lynch? really, well if he is an example of a big time playmaking saftey then i'm real happy you are not our gmlynch has been a great safety in the nfl. one of the biggest hitters who can also break up a pass. you are crazy if you think lynch is not one of the best to play in the past decade or so.

falconva7 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 yeah, reed was playing for the miami hurricanes in 2000. came into the league in '02.haha beat me to it, but they did have rod woodson in 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benb123 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 i think safeties are a good barometer of success in the nfl. don't forget the falcons had success when they had top notch safeties. when the falcons could put on the field safeties like scott case, brian jordan and even eugene robinson who was very effective before the super bowl they had very good defenses. also we should have jumped on john lynch when tampa bay let him go. everytime i watch the broncos he is around the ball and more often than not making a play.
