2 Safeties at this point for two reasons..

1. The DLine hits have a greater priority at this point.. we can utilize Bush at the safety spot.

2. Another point, after week 10 I believe we can resign Blackmon if he is healthy.. more potential depth. He knows the system, probably a quicker fix than a streeter.. it is how MM/Ted seem to work. Agree or not... seems their MO.

Now roll in possibly Bigby coming back.. I can understand it.

Seriously, that's even worse than no changes.

He was good at cornerback last week but I don't think we should switch him up to safety just as he started getting the hang of it.

better than no S's what if a guy gets hurt and we only got one S?

He is prob. a better S than CB.

The first part of my post was a joke.

I really think moving people around too much will hurt them in the long run for both positions.

---

Agreed.

Daryn Colledge comes to mind.

We'll use a LB in place of a S if it comes to that. I think it's the "Big Okie" or something.

---

2 depth spots/1 roster spot. Not the greatest at either but not many teams if any have a better CB or S at the bottom of the depth.

I can cope with losing Barnett. the past couple of years I have zoned in on watching him and even though some think we give up a little pass coverage with Bishop taking over, there were many times Barnett blew coverage in the past couple years (Shiancoe comes to mind last year in the endzone- Barnett had man coverage).

Nick Barnett made a lot of small plays here and there. He talks more than he walks. I'm not saying he is a terrible player but I think we are lucky to have a guy like Bishop waiting to fill the position.

I am going to go out on a limb and say a lot of people might prefer Bishop over Barnett come the end of this season.

(Please prove me right Bishop)

ugh, I've never been a fan of Montgomery. I have a hard time believing he's the best option available at any of our positions of need. Sure, he might have a jump on the system but the little impact he will make anytime soon anyway nullifies that.

Sure hope he proves me wrong.

Exactly. For all the Bush hate on this board, there's something to be said for a guy who can play a lot of positions. This is the NFL. People get injured.

Back to Nick, bad blow. Remember that top 10 thread of players we don't want to lose to injury someone started earlier in the year? I think I had Nick B at something like 7 or 8. He was in my top 10.

He's a solid LB and it's not like solid LBs grow on trees.
