Re: Predict our first major player acquisition

Filling the hole at SS with a muti-dimensional player that has size/speed and is partucularly strong against the run will solidify our Defense more than any other position.
Our DE's are servicable and are strong against the run. We can get a cheap one dimensional pass rush DE to sub in on obvious pass situations, we do not need a star DE.
I still have bad memories of our SS Clark getting run over and embarrased badly by Bucs FB Alstot in the playoffs. There were 3 or 4 other instances in the regular season that Lott looked bad against the run. The #1 reponsibility the SS position has to be a strong agressive tackler, Lott at 5' 10" and 195 pounds is good in coverage but will not cut it as a run stopper. I also worry Archuleta, while he is a good tackler and agressive against the run, may also be too small. If we had another 6' 2" 225 pound hitter to compliment Taylor, teams would think twice about running the ball or throwing down the middle. Our D would be strong.
Look at how much Sean Taylor helped elevate our defense to top 3 status. Just like when others were screaming and upset when we did not get TE KWII this is another opportunity to solidify our Defense for years to come. Our corners are set, Safety would round it out.
