I am ecstatic but bewildered at the same time. I mean, where are we getting this money?
Oh who cares, we've got Hope for next season
Oh who cares, we've got Hope for next season
Hope has adequate size for the safety position. He possesses very quick feet and good running ability. He also has excellent range. He is a sideline-to-sideline player. He is a very aggressive hitter who has the ability to uncoil and hit through a ball carrier. He shows good man-to-man cover skills. He uses his hands well to shed blocks and takes good angles to the ball in pursuit. He plays with a good level of intensity and goes aggressively to the ball. He can look somewhat mechanical in his zone drops. He needs to do a better job of reading the eyes and throwing motion of opposing quarterbacks. He can be late in breaking on the ball and sometimes appears to be too cautious. He doesn't make many mental mistakes, but he doesn't gamble much either and will not make many big plays as a result. He is a consistent performer on special teams and is a steady, reliable performer at the safety position.

I don't see how you can't be thrilled about this signing. He's better than the two we already have. He probably could be a pro-bowler next year. It's better then drafting a S, and lets us draft at a spot where that needs more work i.e. O-line.
He has nice size, good speed, respectable cover skills, very good in run coverage, and is young. What is not to like about this? :sad2:
it's not that i dont like it, i'm just not as excited as some. if we didnt overpay for him im all right with it.KamikaZ said:
I don't really get your graphic with Young and Hawk..who will it be??what's it talking about?
will we pick young or hawk in the draft. i made it a while ago, now it doesnt look like we'll pick either of them.

It all depends on the price tag. what does this mean for Lamont, are we going to shed the strong safety position totally and just run 2 deep forever now?? Goodbye 46, you are officially exstinct. Laters Tank, I always liked you better than Lamont too.
We could move Lamont to SS, which I don't like, but seems more likely since we just gave him a big bonus.
We could resign Tank for SS, which I like, but probably won't do.
Let LT and Fuller battle for SS. I'll Hope Fuller wins..

That's completely unrealistic.
Thompson and Hope have been handed the starting safety jobs this year. That's that...
And if Fuller gets a starting job, barring injury, it will be taking Hill's CB job away (sorry Gunny).

Did I not say that the one situation was more probably and the other was most likely not?

What kind of "sweet nothings" do Reese and Fisher whisper into these FA's ears? Once they visit they sign. I've been to Nashville several times, it's nice and all, but......All this is a result of Floyd and Jeff feeling a little pressure to win, and win sooner than later. Good!
