We can dream all we want about signing a really good safety!! But, we all know, for some bizarre reason, our FO just doesn't think having a great safety is important for this team!! It drives me absolutely insane!! I have longed for a great safety for years!! If our FO actually acquires one of these guys, I think I will die of shock!!!
They're not officially on the market yet but if all were, I'd take Collins. Don't want Thomas at all.
L S U - Honey Badger, Eric Reid, bring back Mo Claiborne, and trade for Patrick Peterson. This is not rocket science. It won't happen because it is too easy to do and would remind everybody about Jimmy Johnson signing James Washington, trading for Thomas Everett, drafting Kevin Smith, and Darren Woodson to get to the Super Bowl in 1992. Jerry Jones would not get the credit he deserves because they will say "That's what Jimmy did".
But we could still talk about Earl Tomas, right..... And his coverage of Michael Irving and Jason Whitten
It does seem like we go through phases where we pick up a lot of players from a certain school. At one point we had Weeden, Dez, Bailey, Joe Randle, Orie Lemon and Tyler Patmon from OK State all on the team at once.
They wanted ET last year to help implement the Kris Richard coverage scheme. If they don't sign ET, it is unlikely that they sign any big name free agent Safety.
We were beaten in the trenches by the rams. We need some DTs not a safety. As much as id love to see Heath gone.
Until Thomas gets hurt then the ones screaming for him will be posting thread after thread on how JJ wasted too much $$$ on a injury prone aging player.....
