It would and as you indicated, the choice may depend on who fits the scheme best. I'm just not sure if any of the other safeties on the roster will be good enough to actually to take way the job away from Sanford. the competition for that position should be interesting to watch this summer.Slick Rick wrote:I'd be kind of surprised if Sanford started again, but I wouldn't be shocked. He's such a liability in coverage. I realize he's good in the box and everything, but I'm not sure whether or not that's the type of thing that Zimmer's going to want or not. Hoping they get someone a little more well rounded at safety. Maybe Bishop or Exum. If it's Sanford I'm sure he'd be in that enforcer role, but that's usually more of a zone coverage type of thing. We're going to be playing quite a bit of press, and having another safety who can cover (or even move up into the slot and cover, who knows) would be nice to have.
I figure they signed him for a reason but they drafted Crichton for a reason too. They'll probably both see quite a bit of action. It really looks like one of the team's primary goals this offseason was to build an effective d-line rotation.I could see Wooton being a DT in nickel sets as well. Not sure if he'll beat Crichton out for that job, they kind of seem like similar players, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he won that job over Crichton.
I LOVE IT! He's like a fan who happens to play football.
Guess he really impressed them.
