I hope we pick up another safety option at some point. Isn't Marlowe the guy we put our chips on when we cut Tre Boston? It's not like Tre was a world beater, but he was a good rotational safety. Certainly better depth than what is currently on the roster now. I know you can't help when a guy gets hurt, but cutting Tre seemed a little short sighted at the time, especially since we didn't draft a safety and it definitely seems short sighted now.

Feel bad for Marlowe though.

I think we're rolling with LJ McCray and Colin Jones as backup safeties.

Didn't want him fired, but never cared for Gettleman's tendency to scapegoat secondary players. 

Boston wasn't a starting caliber safety, but damned if he wouldn't provide some much needed depth right about now.

Seems like that with Gman if you were given a chance to start and didn't pan out in that capacity, you didn't just return to a reserve role, you got straight bounced.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
