Does it not depend on scheme and coverage called?

It seems to me we have 2 choices..

we take a guy like this and pair him with Dix..

or we keep playing skip-to-my-loo with our current safeties not named Dix and pray the defense pulls the DL and LBers together with bailing wire and tape.

I really prefer since we have the cap and intend to win this year..

The safeties need to be able to play both safety positions and play with flexibility instead rigidity.

If this is no good, draft again and try again.

Drafting CD Lamb messed up the pretty defensive plan we had.

Time to adjust and move on.
No, taking Hill over Thornhill messed up our pretty defensive plan. I hate Marinelli so much I can’t put it into words.

Donovan Wilson is also a FS, I believe. I’m interested to see how Luther Kirk does. He’s a SS and a pretty good tackler.

If I was going to try and sign somebody in FA, I think I'd probably go for Justin Simmons. Pretty good young Safety.

Wilson is a SS

“Wilson lacks the range and fluidity in space to ball-hawk from split zone duties, but he does have the size and physicality to potentially take on a down safety role with some tight end cover duties. To make a roster, however, his special teams plays will be critical.”

I rather have 2 safeties that can cover, especially with the offenses in the NFC.

I just got a DM on Instagram from my cousin. He's not going to Dallas. I've been sworn to secrecy so I can't say where he is going but a deal is in place, pending a physical.
Disappointing. I always pull for local guys to join the team. Particularly a Kimball grad.

Gipson played injured for most of the year before landing on IR w/ a back injury.

He's 30. Bring him in for vet min to see if he can stay healthy, sure, whatever.
