NFL's Safety Tandems

[RMSkins]

I thought I would make a list of all the safety tandems in the league, to just give an idea of the competition Taylor and Landry have. I know a lot of people around here are already crowning them as the best tandem in the NFL, but by the looks of this list they have some work to do.

Knight is not with KC anymore, they released him.. I said give it a year or two then 'Skins will have best safety tandem..

[number21isabadman]

n.e now has brandon meriweather

[skinsfan_nn]

I like our chances at setting the bar, give LL and ST one year working together. We will be the most feared tandem at the safety position in the league!

With ST we get alot of respect, add another little ST, LOOK OUT.

see he is an X factor because he if you beat him, he will stomp on you. All WRs are scared.

Yeah, we will see if he can beat out Artrell Hawkins, but for now I gave it to Hawkins since he is the returning starter.

I agree. As it stands now we are atleast in the top five, but it's going to take us acouple of years to catch up to teams like Baltimore, and the New York Jets who I think have one of the most underated safety tandems in the NFL.

Look how well dawan landry played with ed reed last year as a rookie. I believe that our secondary will be dramaticaly improved and will give the d-line more time to get to the passer, along with disguising more blitzing packages, with two dynamic safetys.

[J. Spanky]

everyones too eager to call shaun and laron the best...

im interested to see how their 1st year together compares with meriweather and harrison's (assuming both rookies get to start). and we even play new england midseason if im not mistaken (?). could be very interesting....

Denver SS is Nick Ferguson, Foxworth was just filling in for injury i believe

Thanks for the info, I updated the list to include Ferguson, and for Earthquake I replaced Shaun Williams with Deke Cooper.

There is a big difference between "most feared" and "best." I think you'll see a lot of WRs short arming balls over the middle. But Taylor bit on just about every pump fake he saw last year and was pretty poor in coverage, and Landry is a rookie. No doubt they have the potential to be far and away the best tandem, but they won't start the season with that distinction. After finishing 31st overall, the entire D has a ton to prove.
