Can we all agree now that the Safety position needs to be upgraded?

That last td run was absolutely shameful! Not only did Chris Crocker take a poor angle on the play but once there he got stiffed-armed and then trampled over by Foster on the way to the end zone. I can guarantee Mark Barron will be in stripes next season.

Chris Crocker was horrible the entire game..... Nelson is average at best. When is the last time we've had a good safety?

Chris Crocker's miscues cost the Bengals a point swing of 21 points.

excerpt~

Costly drop: Bengals safety Chris Crocker had a chance to tie the game in the third quarter, but an interception bounced off his hands. It would have likely been a touchdown because only quarterback T.J. Yates stood between Crocker and the end zone. Three plays later, Crocker failed to provide help for a faked-out Adam Jones on a 40-yard touchdown pass to Andre Johnson that put the Bengals behind 24-10. In the fourth quarter, Crocker didn't push Arian Foster out of bounds on a fourth-quarter touchdown run.

To be fair, that Crocker interception would not have gone for 6. The QB wasn't the only one back. Their TE Dreessen was all of 10 yards off from Crocker directly between him and the endzone, and it was a long enough pass that the entire o-line would've had a chance to make a tackle.

You're guaranteeing we draft Mark Barron? LOL. Somebody bookmark this. Also, I really hope not. Barron seems like another run stopping safety. That would not be a good pick.

they need a safety that can actually do what he's supposed to do not take so many wrong angles, safety's job is to break up long passes and be a last line of defense against the run, Crocker shouldnt be in the league

There has to be someone out there that is an upgrade from Betty Crocker whether it be a free agent or draftee.
