Padawan Knight Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I see FS as more of a need than SS.Hard to say if Jimmy Williams will be used as a corner or a safety under Coach Smith. Even if he's used as a FS, will he be any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiker Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Agreed,Milloy has some gas left but a FS is a HUGE need!!It would nice to have a player to learn from Milloy and I am Not counting out Stone,he could develop.Jimmy looks like a slow learner or a slacker.....

somecut8 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 well my previous mock had us trading down to the broncos to draft phillips, but i found that it was extremely risky because the saints will probably draft phillips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiker Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Dejuan Morgan is moving up the boards and would be great choice at the top of the 2nd if he his still there!!DL or OL in the 1st...IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdonawire Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 There will not be any safties drafted early. Jimmy was not the problwm last year it was Boby P not wanting to put him on the field. when he played he did fine and so did Stone. Harris will also be included in that mix, there is no safety in this draft that should/could come in and be a better player than Stone or Williams. Milloy is still against the run but he does practically nothing in the passing game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papikaika Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I hope we give Jimmy Williams a chance to prove himself, I mean that kid can ball, but he`s got to develop into that player we wanted him to be. Other than that, I wouldn`t mind adding the likes of a Ken Hamlin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugadawg Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 We have Milloy for one more year if not cut so SS is covered and Stone can learn from him again. Jimmy is the wild card if he plays to expectations FS could be handled for years, but also we picked up Gaddis which I liked last year I think one of the two could develop into our FS. I am not worrid about our DB's as much as our lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossFALCON™ Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 i think we probably just need a FS. i think milloy could probably do it again. maybe jimmy williams could be productive but i heard he lost his job earlier this season. he needs to step up and im pretty sure this job will be his.

Kayoh Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I feel like I'm on some sort of Chris Crocker bandwagon. Am I the only person that realizes how good he played in the last few weeks? He's really caught onto the FS position. He's got it locked down. Jimmy isn't starting there because Chris is that good, not because Jimmy is that bad.

Jimmy isn't starting there because Chris is that good, not because Jimmy is that bad.maybe. maybe i havent been paying enough attention to the position, you may be right. i dont care who plays it just as long as this team produces and we have someone solid back there.

texasbirdfan Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 No, I am still on it too. I was happy when he was added and I hope he can mesh into the new cover defense we will probably blend into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kschreck Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I am so tired of us not having a FS that belongs in that position. How long has it been since we've had someone capable back there? Too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pick_6 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 kschreck (2/17/2008)I am so tired of us not having a FS that belongs in that position. How long has it been since we've had someone capable back there? Too long.I agree, but I think we can stick with who we have for one more year. We have way too many needs this year to be thinking about our safties. I think Crocker was better this year than he was 2 seasons ago, and we can stick with him for another season if he keeps playing the way he has been lately. I'm also interested in seeing if Stone and Williams really can replace Milloy and Crocker at the starting safety positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossFALCON™ Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 i think we will probably go one more year and see what crocker and jimmy can do and if they arent performing we will probably take one in the first or second next year depending on what pick we have.

It's a keep young, re-sign your own good FA's and shop very little in the open FA market for big names NFL world..I am quite familiar with the Belechik blueprint and so is TD!! So assuming I am wanting the highest paid FA safety is wrong.Also I do not another el cheapo Wal Mart safety.But it is obvious we have a Huge problem defending the deep pass and have NO enforcer in the middle of the field.I would like to see this issue addressed in free agency and also the draft.

keithbrooking56 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 They need to give Jimmy Williams a full season starting at FS to see if he can play the position or not. I am tired of watching Crocker get burned alive in deep coverage. Milloy is still a good run stuffing safety but he's just almost painful to watch in coverage.

Lawyer may have some gas left in the tank, but no matter what he is doing on the field, I want him mentoring our safties of tomorrow in the locker and film room.
