Is Arch useless deep? If he is, I don't see a one dimensional safety, no matter how good he is at stopping the run, helping our defense.

Obviously GW will scheme him as necessary, but if I'm an offensive coordinator I'm going to exploit Arch as much as possible. Ryan Clark may not have been the show stopper, but he is without a doubt a more balanced Safety than Arch. Regardless with SS, CR, and ST out there he's in good company so mabye a more balanced defense will result. Hopefully it's as simple as that.

Re: ESPN NFC East Poll

I think a little of the Archuleta pick had to do with the prospect of Sean Taylor paying a possible debt to society. AA is hitter in Taylor's mold, so there would be some enforcement in the secondary.

Much of the problem in St. Louis was scheme related. From his Redskin press conference: "There is no denying that we struggled in St. Louis the last two years on defense so I would look at other teams when I broke down film of who was playing well or who I had heard was playing well. We just happen to have many common opponents where the Redskins defense was playing the same team that we were going to play. I got jealous. These guys were flying around and hitting people. They looked sound. Guys were very rarely out of position. It looked like the guys on the field were having fun and there was a comfort to what they were doing. They always looked like they were in control. Along with the things that I had heard about Gregg Williams and what he has been able to do as a defensive coordinator and his reputation, it was one of the very few teams in the NFL that I admired the way they played defense."

Archuleta was a feared safety through 2003. Then Lovie Smith left the Rams. Suddenly, AA isn't quite the player he was. The coincidences are staggering.
