Remember that guy we had so many years ago, who now is an analyst on that network (that loves to make up silly headlines about us). Yeah he was one.
Remember Cliff Harris, yeah he was one. Charlie Waters, yeah him too.
Oh yeah, let's not forget the guy who won SB 28 for us, James Washington.
What's happened since Woody? We thought we had one, used the eighth pick in the 2002 draft on him, this fraud even had a rule named after him, wow he must be good! Somewhere along the way he got dumped by Kelly Rowland forgot how to tackle, forgot how to cover and found God. After him just a bunch of temporary patches, Keith Davis, Patrick Watkins etc.. Kind of a coincidence that Roy had his best seasons while Woody was still on the field. Why have we neglected the most important position on the field for so long. Don't believe me, Look at the the final four teams in the Championship Games. Troy Palumolu, Brian Dawkins, Ed Reed and Adrian Wilson...Heard of em.
Want to win another Super Bowl? Forget all our other problems, find
a Safety. I took a look at the last 20 Super Bowl winners to see
how they fared at the safety spot. You ready?
89 SF- Ronnie Lott
90 SF-Ronnie Lott
91 NY-Dave Duerson (Yeah that one from the '85 Bears)
92 WAS- Todd Bowles
93-DAL- Woody
94-DAL-Woody
95 SF Tim McDonald
96 DAL-Woody
97 GB-Eugene Robinson
98 DEN-Steve Atwater
99 DEN-Steve Atwater
00 STL-Rich Coady
01 BAL-Kim Herring
02 NE- Lawyer Milloy
03 TB John Lynch
04 NE Rodney Harrison
05 NE Rodney Harrison
06 PIT Troy Palumolu
07 IND- Bob Sanders
08 NYG-Gibril Wilson
09 Palumolo or Adrian Wilson?
What does this means? It means out of the last 20 SB winners 17 had
a great safety. That's right I said 17 out of 20! Want to know how to
pave your way through the playoffs, look no further. Safety first!

Dear Captain....
all you have to do is look at the picture in my profile to see what my opinion is of Safety!
"Amongst the enemy's Lair, there will always be a DallasPalace!"
You've been a fan since '72 myself '78 SB XII
You certainly remember Charlie and Cliff. Why is it we’ve ignored this position?
Let T.O. Go!

I hope we do get in free agency....
one of these three….
Atogwe (St. Louis) Phillips (Tampa Bay) Jones (Cleveland)
ILB I want one of these two…
Mike Peterson (Jacksonville) Channing Crowder (Miami)
These guys are realatively inexpensive.
Sean Jones from Cleveland and Channing Crowder from Miami is my wish for FA pick up.

Now Jack, of course they had great players at other positions...
All I’m saying is that in my opinions the single key to the whole defense is at safety. The Colts magical run in 2006, there defense caught fire when that little spark plug Bob Sanders came back from injury. He changed their entire defense and atttitude. I’m just saying.
Let T.O. Go!

I’m not saying safety is unimportant but next year we are going to have to many safeties on our roster. Roy Williams will be back, Hamlin will be back, Watkins, Davis will all be around. Unless we cut some of those guys where is he going to play.
Davis has no business playing defense
Watkins can be cut, Roy W. is gone or moved to LB, Hamlin is a keeper. I’m not saying that we need to go draft one. Just saying that the roster isn’t filled with Probowlers

Why would we move Roy W to LB?
That move wouldnt make sense for a full time position swap

I am not promoting it
Jerry was quoted 2 days ago about changing his position
""I really dig Hannibal. Hannibal had real guts. He rode elephants into Cartilage." -Tyson
Just a thought
but, he already looks bigger then Burnett, personally I think he is a better tackler.
"Protect the Romo, Save the Cowboys!!"
Roy used to be a good tackler.
But the last few years he has even forgotten how to do that.
IF YOU'RE LOOKIN FOR ME...I'M AT THE SCRIP CLUB WITH PACMAN......AND WE'RE BEING REBELLION!!

RW Cut....
Watkins who knows…if anything we may be light at safety…Henry will probably be our FS next year.
If we move Henry to FS next year then that moves Hamlin to SS and allows us to cut Williams. I’m still not certain were going to cut Williams though. He still has a lot of money on his contract and was injured most of the year will probably be given a year to prove he can still play. With Watkins and Davis we have enough depth. Yeah injuries hurt but most teams don’t have a good enough backup safety that they are confident if they lose a starter. Safety depth is a something that teams with no holes have and we are not one of those teams.
its a great move
it lets our rookie cb’s grow further and they’re capable of holding their own
and puts henry the ballhawk at a position hes better at
hamlin is a hard hitting type of guy he’ll be good at strong
but this will only work for another 2 years…so we need to draft a safety as well to grow
"Aw Shucks" - Wade Phillips
on that 92 team
Everett was more of the lead safety
In reference to how good the Steelers have been in their history: "No one is even close to them."- Steal Home
yup and ray horton
was the other one.
then in 93, it was good ole james washington who played spectacularly and helped us win it – not that having woodson was bad or anything.
