yup an dthats great. Unless he can wave a wand and turn a boloney sandwich into a "whataburger with cheese" as MM likes to say, then I dont see how it helps unless its ST only.
You need depth at the position, just in case they aren't able to address the need via the draft.

we have depth..just guys. Dont need more jags. Need a STARTER. QUALITY over quanity.
I would imagine if they sign

FS - Hooker, Thompson
SS - Wilson, Kearse

We draft a guy and Thompson is released. Kearse is a special teams ace.

George Edwards, a senior defensive assistant with the Cowboys, was Kearse’s defensive coordinator during his time in Minnesota. So he will likely yay or nay this

actually teams are MADE UP OF 63 PLAYERS ONLY 22 START MEANING 70% ARE BACKUPS AND SPECIAL TEAMS..

THIS FAN PAGE IS JUST FULL OF WHINERS AND ACT AS IF THE DC FO ARE ISOALTED AND THIS IS JUST THE JONSES BEING CHEAP..

the superstar contracts and OL commitment says cheap and thrifty are not the DC thats the bottom 16 teams in the league who dont keep their own players and constantly have bad players as starters..

you tell me how that
Dak
OL
Zeke
AC
Dlaw
JS
etc are thrifty signings lol

It's really a simple concept. Which makes more sense............ signing a bunch of backup type safeties or pooling the money and signing a legitimate starting safety that could help us? You guys keep talking about how smart it is to add these JAGs for "depth" but what good is depth if you don't have a competent starter?

Take Urban. He seems like a nice backup DT, who can maybe swing between the 3T and 1T. But the problem isn't that we don't have depth at DT. It's that we don't have a legitimate starter at the 1T.

Michael is pretty spot on usually. He nailed the Basham pick several days earlier.

So it looks like Kearse is a lock to sign and we get either Hooker or Kazee. My guess is Kazee

id rather keep woods than kearse.

Pretty much apples to oranges. One is a free safety and the other is a box safety. One is great on special teams.

Kearse made $12,000 last season being on the practice squad. He made $1 million the year before that.

If Woods wants to play on a one year deal, sure. Kearse is strictly SS depth and special teams where as Woods is looking to start

So we may sign two more safeties and Kearse will likely be one?

If you sign two safeties, then make it Hooker and Kazee as both are better (granted, coming off injuries) than Kearse.

But you have depth at SS. You still have Wilson, you just signed Neal who by all reports will play some SS.

If you want to sign two safeties make it Hooker and Kazee, not Kearse. They really just seem to love those cheap bargain trash signings. Kearse is like bringing in Nolan Carroll. Everyone with a brain knew Carroll was garbage and they signed him anyway. He was cut by October. Kearse is the same type.

I don't get the approach at S and DT with this team despite year after year them failing at both positions going cheap. I likely never will.

How old are we getting when the nephews are playing now and all the sons, Horn, Surtain, etc?!? Haha
Well you know it's bad when you remember the father being a HS recruit, and now the son is being drafted (like Asante Samuel Jr.).

Kearse would strictly be a special teams signing. It wouldn't change the need to add a starter at FS.

I agree. I don't think we're looking at Kearse the same way we're looking at Hooker and Kazee. He's a quality backup and special-teammer with starting experience. Obviously, we need better starters than we've had, but we also need better depth.

Yeah in a perfect world, you sign Hooker and Kazee. Hooker gives you 14-15 games at FS and Kazee plays in the slot and covers the other at FS.

I just don’t see us signing Hooker and Kazee and his agent wanting to sign here as opposed to starting in Detroit

For the record I am not pro Kearse. Just like to try and justify what the coaches are doing
