Duke was a starting S, something Bruton has never been.
Bruton was in Denver before Duke but Duke surpassed him on the depth chart and started ahead of him.
Despite missing the better part of the past 2 seasons due to injury Duke has 15 starts in 4 years compared to Brutons 8 starts sprinkled over 7 years.

Duke I 78 tackles 6 PD 0 Interceptions

David Bruton 131 tackles 16 PD 3 Interceptions

Nice. Those numbers are.. irrefutable.


Although.. Reports of Duke during last preseason were overwhelmingly positive. Despite the numbers above, I wouldn't be surprised if Duke competes. Still wouldn't mind bringing in youth/draft pick to compete with these two.

That's always a good idea in my book.

You must have a different opinion of what experienced and proven starter means.

But to each their own. Bruton may be coming to start based on money, and I like his measureables.

But I don't see any other way to refer to his career as a journeyman spot starter. Duke started AHEAD of the Bruton when they were on the SAME team. Comparing their counting stats obviously isnt an apples to apples comp considering Duke has accumulated virtually 0 stats the past 2 years due to injury.

At the end of the day, despite being in the league less (and missing ~2 seasons to injury) Duke has more starts then Bruton.

Either way I like forward to watching Bruton on the field, he no doubt adds to the secondary.

Agreed, he should not be counted on as a starting safety solution. He's big and a sure tackler which fits the McCloughan mold, but Jarrett when healthy will push for this role, as will Nacho.

I think Hall is the lock at FS and will be great at it.

Bruton may not start but he'll make the team because he is outstanding on Special Teams. That was probably a key reason why they decided to sign him.

I think Hall could be solid at FS also. IF.....say that Bruton/Nacho/Jarrett look like they can lock down the S spot in training camp. I would then look to keep Hall at CB/NB as insurance against Cully's injury recovery or to have him specialize in the slot.
