I agree. Good cover skills and smart. Not very aggressive in the run game but he can be coached up on that. He study's film well and doesn't take a lot of risks which is fine with me. Showed good speed at his Pro Day.

So the way things are looking now what are the plans at Safety? It doesn't seem like there are any good ones left in FA, and the draft is a bit dry at that spot.

Are we basically waiting for Goldson to get cut?

If not who are the starters day 1? Johnson at SS and Ihenacho at FS?

It seems with the lack of depth in the draft any safety we take won't be a day one starter (unless we trade back and take Collins), which I don't see us doing.

At this point what are you guys thinking? Safety is one of our biggest needs and seems to be one we're overlooking. (AGAIN)

I dont know that you can say they are overlooking it again. Its not a real good year to get safeties in general and we did sign one. Its clear that McC wants to improve the defense so I doubt he is overlooking it. The last thing we need is to make a mistake by overpaying a player out of desperation. Go BPA in the drafts, be smart in FA, and it will eventually come together. This was never a one year rebuild.

I would prefer that our FS not be aggressive in the running game, so he does not get sucked in and burned with a pass over his head.
Our FS next season may not need to be aggressive in the running game, if we draft one of the top OLB's with the #5, our new front 7 will be really stout. Plus you know McG will draft an ILB and FS somewhere later in the draft that will bring a healthy competition to those positions.
It seems like McG is trying to fix the defense first. I could not be happier.

Good move. Goldson wasnt used right in Tampa's Defense

I approve this move
