Re: Who are your starting Safeties

I picked Doughty and Rambo. As Goat mentioned Doughty played very well towards the end of the season and I want Merriweather fully healthy before starting him so he doesn't get reinjured so easily. Rambo's been playing with the starters so lets stay with him. A longshot would be Amerson who some projected as a safety but I personally would rather see him start at corner this year.

Re: Who are your starting Safeties

Meriweather is practicing fully as of now, so I don't know why you'd operate under any other assumption than he will be fully healthy by week one.

Obviously if he's not healthy when week one rolls around you reconsider your depth chart.

I mean that's what we're doing with RG3. He's practicing fully and everyone knows he's starting week 1. Not sure why we'd treat Meriweather differently. If he's healthy enough to practice fully then he's healthy enough to play a regular season game if it was held today.

Unless there's a Wilson I'm forgetting.

Re: Who are your starting Safeties

I wasn't aware Merriweather was fully participating in practice. If he is and not experiencing any drawbacks...start him.

Re: Who are your starting Safeties

Week 1? I see Merriweather and Doughty.

I think Rambo is starting sometime this season over Doughty, but I don't know that he will be the first week. Obviously we'll see how the rest of the preseason goes.. I have week 2 circled to really see how this secondary is going to be.

Re: Who are your starting Safeties

Meriweather hasn't been practicing fully. He's had several limited practices. And I think maybe even some days of no practice

Thanks for clearing that up SS. I knew I hadn't heard much about him. Certainly not that he was full go in practice.

Re: Who are your starting Safeties

What's the chance Amerson starts at one of the 2 CB positions? Anybody going for a bold prediction that amerson wins a starting job? I think it's 50 percent right now.

Based on what I've seen from him and the uncertainty of Josh Wilson making the roster, I could easily see Amerson starting. His potential is much great than Josh's right now. Plus his size is much better for the WRs of the NFC East than Wilson.

Re: Who are your starting Safeties

An update on Meriweather's practice time:

Quote:
Strong safety Brandon Meriweather won't play Monday, but he did participate in four consecutive days of practice, albeit on the practice team. But that represents progress for Meriweather, who had been in and out of workouts while recovering from last season's ACL surgery.

Re: Who are your starting Safeties

Personally I've believed from day one Amerson would start on day one. Can't say I thought the same for Baccari.

Re: Who are your starting Safeties

I think our secondary moves players in and out enough that it doesn't really matter.

Re: Who are your starting Safeties

Rambo and Merriweather but I'm with FRPLG on this one. We probably will see Reed rotating with Rambo sometimes through out games, depending on plays and how Rambo process everything during game time.
