Re: 2013 Day 42 - Marrell Jackson
I'd like to see him at 190 this year and 200 next year. This is the kind of saftey we need as an enforcer over the middle.
Re: 2013 Day 42 - Marrell Jackson
I like this guy.
Note: We've often had solid safeties . . . but I hope we have the corners covered, especially with Edwards leaving early.

Re: 2013 Day 42 - Marrell Jackson
We haven't had two solid safties and depth behind them recently and consistently. You need two have at least 4 that can play the run and the tight end.
Strong RBs up the gut, TEs have hurt us over the years and more recently jump balls deep over the middle.

Re: 2013 Day 42 - Marrell Jackson
Yeah, I was talking historically . . . Hawaii has had some solid safeties (others can provide a pretty long list).
Strong RBs hurting us up the middle doesn't point only to weak safeties. If the RBs are getting to that level - there are other problems on D.
