SS
i like Merriweather as our SS at 1 mil per (injuries, suspensions aside).
I think he and breeland are the only 2 starters for us that would start for another NFL team.
FS
we all hoped thomas would over-perform as a late round pick and possibly earn a starting role, at the least be a solid depth guy.
i would not rely on thomas going into next year as a starter.
imo he needs a strong and healthy camp to even make the roster.
FS is too important for defenses nowadays to rely on an unreliable late round draft pick. poor FS play killed us this past year w clark. FS is like the LT on offense. Its an anchor that effects all parts around it.
hutch - you should post more my friend
