Springs would make a great safety across from Sean Taylor.

Two years back when we had Ryan Clark starting, our defense excelled against the pass. Clark wasn't a very big safety at 5'11" and only 205 lbs. but he was better at coverage than anything we got out of Archuleta, Vincent, and Fox last year.

But if you recall, Clark was pretty bad against the run, yet we still had a superior run defense as well. With his cover skills, Gregg Williams was more comfort leaving more guys in the pocket to stuff the run.

That said, Carlos would really have to step it up to be a #1 corner, and smoot would have to get back to his old self. I think there is still the possibility that Bly could come over. Whether archuleta is involved in that trade or not (Lynch is getting old...) I doubt it, but we gotta move on from him.
