Who are your starting Safeties

Also, by nature of positions, it is much riskier to start a rookie Safety than a rookie Corner. There are more responsibilities that involve the defense as a whole. And if Rambo is a liability now without gameplanning against him, I would think it would be riskier to start him once they start (gameplanning).

... and to be clear, I'm not down on Rambo's potential. I'm just down on him early on because of his steep learning curve and inexperience as a rookie.

Rambo definitely has a long way to go, and if he doesn't get up to speed it'll be a long season back there. Wondering if we should have transitioned Hall to safety more and more. Oh well, too late now.

rambo had a nice play causing the turnover last night. learning curves at every position, he will get burnt sometimes, but I like the confidence the coaching staff is putting in him right now. Im sure there is a plan.

I think there's a reason why the position was named: Safety. It's the last line of defense, and it is the position that needs to be most consistent. A safety can't afford a big mistake on the same play that another player makes a big mistake because that usually means touchdown for the other team - ie: Orakpo and Rambo on Chris Johnson's long touchdown run. That's too easy for the other team. And in the case of the eagles, the redskins need to beat them down and keep them there so it sets the tone for both the redskins and eagles season.

A touchdown run like Chris Johnson's run would give the eagles hope for the game and maybe even for the season. And just because Rambo played.

I think right now, Madieu Williams and Rambo are the same player. The difference is that Madieu was only getting worse and Rambo can only get better.


I just hope Rambo isn't a practice star that doesn't show up come game time.

Rambo has a way to go, but he will most certainly be better then Madieu at playing deep centerfield/over the top coverage. If there was one thing he was known for at college it was his deep cover skills and he should create turnovers for us which Madieu rarely did. So i am happy we have a new face back there.

If you honestly think Doughty has a chance against Johnson, you are sadly mistaken. Doughty would never get to Johnson to force a cutback if he is in pass protection to start the play. Rambo at least gets there, he just needs to learn angles at pro speed. Doughty excels against the run when he starts the play in the box, but is a liability on both run and pass when he lines up at center field. Which is why Doughty doesnt play free safety.

That TD by Chris Johnson was not "just because Rambo played". With Vick, Shady, and LaSean on the field, a slow safety is going to be toast the entire game. Especially if Kelly uses them the right way.

Rambo has the one essential trait that you can not teach. SPEED.
