We are only going to keep four. So the locks are Clark, Merri, and Thomas. The 4th safety position is going to come down to special teams play and you have to give the edge to T. Robinson. The 4th safety spot will be a battle of Robinson, Davis, and Rambo. Thoughts?

so far this off season it is davis who has shown better so at this point he would be my upset special

do you mean Davis is better on special teams or at safety? I think the 4th safety spot will be about the better special teams player vs the best safety player.

Dean, it will be about both. The 4th safety will be expected to step into a starting role in the next year or 2, but contribute heavily on STs until he does. This is why I think Rambo doesn't make this team.

I agree with you that Rambo doesn't make the team b/c he gives you no value in the ST unit. Its pretty sad that he can not be counted on as the future FS of this team with basically no competition to think of. We had to go get Clark b/c Rambo was that bad. That is what I believe.

rambo was a 6th rounder . OMG what did you expect ? if rambo cant tackle on special teams he is doomed period

that needs to be determined (this year ) if he can . last season he didnt

He was thrown to the wolves last year and the entire defense couldn't tackle even the sure tackler London Fletcher had problems wrapping guys up I think last season was one of the worst years I seen a team not being able to take a player down.

Can anyone say for sure that Thomas is a lock? I have not read any comments about him in camp yet.
