Which safety do you choose?

[Gremell12]

I’ll take LC- young and we can get him learning with richard- dude is a playmaker on defense. Woods has been way better than suitable as our FS.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Give me Landon... Please and thank you

 

[exciter]

Neither! Collins isn't any better in coverage than Heath at what will probably be at least 10x the money. Whatever # Thomas threw at Seattle they aren't even negotiating with him. He's broken his leg 2 out of the last 3 years and missed time in all 3. With contracts for Lawrence, Jones, Cooper, Elliott, Jaylon, Dak and others coming up, I don't see them investing a 60+ m contract into a safety that's a liability in coverege or 30 with injury issues as confirmed by Stephen has already said their focus would be on their own players!

 

[StarBoyz83]

We will get neither and like it. Woods and heath will be the starters again next season.

 

[GenoT]

We like our guys.

 

[Gremell12]

We like our guys.

Hmmmm

LC had a bad year, but they were changing schemes and that franchise is a cluster.

We play a lot of single high so they'd both be pretty valuable. ET just does a lot for you on defense, but he's older.

If I thought I was getting LC of a few years ago, I'd take him. I'd actually thought about this in FA, I just haven't really looked at why he was bad in coverage this year so I don't know. He has the possibility of being a monster again in a box, pursuit safety role.

People are going to make stupid salary cap comments when they are blind or illiterate, but we could sign LC or ET without losing anyone. I'd pick one. If I thought LC was still good, maybe we can get a deal after last year.

Our D would better accommodate LC because Woods has potential, but I'd still try to improve my team anyway I could.

Collins wouldnt have missed that tackle on Goff.

 

[texbumthelife]

Collins and it's not even close.

 

[cowboyec]

Landon Collins.

 

[tyke1doe]

We can't have enough Collins on our roster.

 

[slick325]

ET29

Collins wouldnt have missed that tackle on Goff.

Are you speaking of the final, critical 3rd and 7 conversion? If so, what I read from Brian Broaddus' analysis was that Heath had a choice to keep with his assignment, the TE, or peel and try take Goff. The inference was that had Heath abandoned his TE assignment, all Goff had to do is lob it to the TE and the end result is the same.

Unlike many on here that are eminently qualified, I readily admit I don't know what was supposed to happen and depend on those that are closer and far more knowledgeable than I am to give me their assessment. Broaddus has no reason to provide misinformation so I'm taking him at his word, but his take is Heath didn't misplay this and having ET or Collins for THIS particular play probably makes no difference in the result.

Just to be very clear, I'm ONLY addressing this specific play and not anything about the other 500+ defensive plays in the season.

Neither.

I'll take Adrian Amos. Good starter. Can pair him with Woods. Young. Cheaper than either ET or Collins

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Thomas all day every day and twice on Sundays.

I'd go with Collins. LC adds an intimating player on the back end. If the scheme can keep him around the LOS to limit his coverage responsibility, and increase his run stopping and blitz opportunities (really good Blitzer) he's golden...a la Kam Chancellor's role.

Only thing is having a FS fast enough or instinctual enough to have a vast range in the deep middle while getting to deep sidleines on time. X. Woods 4.5 time may be too slow, Heath ran a 4.4 and gets around faster IMO. So, DAL would have to cross there fingers at FS.

 

[CF74]

Lol both

Exactly what I was thinking

Collins is 4,000 times better at coverage than Heath.
