we are missing that Headhunter at Safety

Telemaque is probably going to sit over the top of this defense. He'll have the opportunity to make plays but he's really the safety valve. Bush is going to be more variable in his positioning if we take game 1 as an indicator. I expect Rodgers to get phased out. It's already happening and he just doesn't have the look of a football player. I don't know but personally safety wasn't highest on my list of concerns coming out of that game. VT is just an easy target because he's old and everybody hates old guys. The safeties weren't great but if you're talking about where improvement is needed we have other problems (DL and abysmal play at SLB being prominent). What we need at safety is reliability more than a killer.

Agreed. The d-line is a much bigger concern. Telemaque isn't an All American but he's not as bad as some on this site make him out to be either.

there was decent safety play, they played fast, but we are missing that thumper at Safety

Decent is generous. But you're right- we need a thumper. A ball-hawk might even be better.

yeah i thought "decent?" part of it though is that they are played so deep. never even seem to be close to the action.
