Redskins Need To Add Depth At Safety

Recommended Posts

The Redskins may be talking to Chris Cooley this week but the likely choice to flip roster spots, Jordan Bernstine, was hurt today and will go on IR.

In addition, Madieu Williams' ill-timed hit on Jimmy Graham may result in a suspension as well as an expected fine from Goodell.

So with Meriweather out another couple of weeks, the Redskins may be pressed to sign a veteran safety unless Cedric Griffin perhaps can slide over.

Maybe it was just me, but I thought Williams looked shaky. Perhaps some of that was the Saints. But the rest of the secondary looked pretty decent.

By and large he looked pretty shaky to me. But I don't think he'll be suspended. That said, I don't feel comfortable with him starting going forward. Maybe go Gomes/Merriweather in a month?

No doubt Williams get suspended, once I saw the helmet to helmet contact I figured that was a certainty. Anyone know who is available. Hopefully he can appeal and it will not take affect until merriweather is back.

No doubt suspended? Yeesh! He'll get fined heavily, I'm sure. But suspended?

Wonder if we'll give Atogwe a looksee. He knows our defense and can step in right away

Unfortunately to step in right away, you have to be healthy. He's not. That's the reason we cut him, that's the reason the eagles cut him, and that the reason that a player with 25 career INTs is watching games on his couch.

Posted in another thread, but thought it more appropriate here. I have no idea what we will do, target a veteran FA or grab youth from another PS, or bring back someone from our training camp.

Few guys with decent scouting reports on other teams PS, some are corners though.

We have five S on our roster. One is out for the next 1-3 weeks, another suffered a major leg injury today.

Reed Doughty is currently our 3rd safety. We don't have a healthy 4th safety on the team.

And that means the third is not to be counted on either, we need a safety or two brought in at least for a look.

I thought he hit hard and brought a fear to the game. He got turned around and completely wiffed not the downtown. I expect a small fine, nothing big for him. As far as another safety, Melvin Bullitt, and Bob Sanders .. I know Bob doesn't stay healthy long, but we only need him until Merriweather comes back. Man Tanard Jackson's suspension is really coming to bite us in the butt.

My question is why wasn't the hit on Morgan a penalty? It was nasty and I don't think he returned to the game after

I agree... I was very surprised there was no flag on that one as it was helmet to helmet on a defenseless receiver like the ones that williams did to the Saints players.
