I guess it’s not business as usual, in The Burgh.
Colbert put on his “big boy pants” today.

He's still on his rookie contract and Sean Davis walks next year

Art may have made a visit with his pitchfork.
We should go with yours. It's much better.
That's a good point. Considering that they really have shit at the safety position, this is a huge upgrade. He's playing FS, right? I hear he's good in the slot as well, but I'm hoping he's gonna be our center fielder
Can't wait to hear how he's a bust by Sunday night.
He is not a FS. But, Minkah is the best slot CB in the NFL.
Nelson & Haden have been shutting down their WRs, but the slot receiver has been killing us. This ELIMINATES the slot receiver.
there is your Mason Rudolph vote of confidence
Here’s some highlights.

Guy can tackle.

That’s a pretty high price to pay for a slot corner...no?
What’s the matter with you?

Minkah Boykin?
Seriously, this team is getting more interesting to look forward to watch. All respect to Ben, I want to see Mason on offense and the newish look defense for the rest of the season.
That okay, according to most people on this site, we suck at first round draft picks,.....so what’s the downside?
Ah I just saw him listed as a safety. I did hear that he's versatile but wanted a more defined role in Miami's defense. In any case he was a stud last year and high pedigree (11th pick overall), hope it works out for us
Id be shocked if he doesn't play some safety. This dude can be like Polamalu, a disrupter and game changer. Dolphins had him playing 6 different positions, I cant imagine him not wanting to play safety. Versatility is one of his main strengths.
Touché
Sutton can cover.
Hilton can blitz.
Now, imagine having both of those abilities in one player.
SUMMATION:
He’ll play slot mostly, but like Sutton & Hilton, he can (and will) play some FS.
With his versatility maybe he's the next Carnell Lake? Hmmmm... I'll take it. I'm not expecting any player to be polamalu, that was a once in a generation guy

As Deadpool says....we fans should have worn our brown pants today.
We'd damn well better get something more than a slot corner for a possoble high R1 pick.
Like, thisncould be one of two things. Either really acknowledging that we have problems in the secondary and we're trying something drastically different, or we're, like ... giving a vote of confidence that Edmunds and Davis are A-ok, to the point where we can trade for a safety who won't even play safety, because dammit, we don't even NEED anything better.
Either a stunningly bold new plan, or we've got our heads so far up our asses that it's unbelievable.
I sure hope it's the first one, because adding the best slot corner in the league ain't fixing shit if we've still got that giant goose egg down the middle.
See you Space Cowboy ...
Lol. Deadpool is the best.As Deadpool says....we fans should have worn our brown pants today.

Well that player, assuming Fitzpatrick can become that, is a cure to a great deal of holes on defense.

What makes it so sweet is that it's his rookie deal. They're signing a high-caliber player with a bargain-basement salary structure.
Interesting.

Nelson & Haden have been shutting down their WRs, but the slot receiver has been killing us. This ELIMINATES the slot receiver. Simultaneously, it also allows the safeties to drop back... and read what is in front of them (which is the strength of those two).
Ben is done. He was playing at 20% his old self before the injury and now will have elbow surgery at 37. He's done time to move on to the future. And they surrender their 1st, potentially their highest draft pick in 20 years for a guy who a. gave up on his team and b. only wants to play slot corner.
