Sounds like our kind of safety. Can't cover poo and probably can't run.

Pos: 
Tough run-defending safety best in a straight line. Quick to read and diagnose, keeps the action in front of him and tackles well in the open field. Stout at the point, drives his shoulders through ball carriers and plays aggressive football.
 
Neg: 
Indecisive when the ball is in the air, lacks lateral speed and trails in coverage. Limited as a playmaker. Ineffective over the slot receiver. Marginal next-level speed.
 
Analysis: 
Ballard is a hard-hitting, strong safety prospect who is best against the run and playing downhill. He comes with a special-teams mentality, which is likely his only chance at the next level.

Can someone please tell RR that it is not the 1940’s.  It is a passsing league now.

    • Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down. 
    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
