It's not as if this guy just walked in off the street. He went through all of camp and preseason with the Broncos. He's in excellent shape, and the safety position isn't rocket science.

He was cut from another team. Isn't the safety position one of the hardest positions to play in the NFL? There is a reason it takes a lot of players so long to understand and play the position well.

The dude started the Super Bowl for them last year and was their 17 week starter. They got one guy back off of IR at SS and signed TJ Ward. Duke was caught in a numbers game and got cut. Is he a pro bowl player? No. Is he better than what we have here currently (especially missing BW for the first two games and only god knows how many others this season)? Yes.

We didn't have another experienced SS on the roster who had played a game in the NFL. Rambo is a FS who is being moved to SS out of nessecity. Thomas has never been healthy enough to play a game and the other guy (Davis I believe) is best suited as a special teamer who could develop into someone who can play from scrimmage.

I may regret this on Sunday but I love the optimism of this thread right now.

Yeah I think this move totally flew under the radar. If im not mistaken, this guy had a hell of a game against us last year.
