Why didn’t we just keep woods another year?

He got 5mill per deal from the Titans.

He was the tacks leader and leader of the unit, at least he tried to be in the right spot and made efforts to tackles players. 

They gave the brinks truck to Tre'von and couldnt fit that 5 mill with him I guess. I was a fan of woods and he did what was rare in the NFL he stayed for the whole length of his contract. 

They also fired the safety coach.

Honestly Woods was pretty trash. Tackles can very much be a double edged sword for a DB. Can be because he's really good in run support or can be because he's giving up a lot of completions.

What bugs me about the safety position is that I’ve heard multiple times how important Safety is in Evero’s scheme.  Wtf?  Make it make sense.

If we’re looking at a vet with a low ceiling AND a low floor, why not just roll with the young guys? We’re not winning a Super Bowl this year. It’s ok to develop some talent.

We need to quit being "interested" in signing a safety and actually sign one of them.

I don't understand why it's so rare to find a safety that can both tackle and cover. I guess because the ones who can tackle get moved to linebacker early in their careers and the ones who can cover are moved to corner, but you'd still think more of them would stick at safety than do.

Good tacklers are rare. Good coverage skills are rare. Having both is more rare.

Coverage skills I can understand, but you'd think solid tacklers would be less rare than they are. That's a pretty basic skill for someone to learn if they're playing defense, at any age.

I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.
