Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

i dont kno about signing safeties
john lynch once again made pro bowl
and i think nick ferguson did great last season with 79 tackles and 5 interceptions
i think our safeties are fine
thats just my opinion
As I've posted on other threads, our safeties are not the problem. Ferguson had 5 picks last year and is a solid tackler. Lynch had 4 sacks.
The problem is, that our pass rushing woes force the team to blitz to get pressure. This either:
a) forces the safeties to blitz thereby not having them in coverage.
b) forces them to cover TEs, WRs, or backs man-to-man thereby not allowing for deep coverage "over the top".
c) forces them to pick up a zone assignment (in a zone blitz scheme) which makes them very susceptible to double moves (pump and go) and play action - because they are reading the QBs eyes and not just trying to be the "deepest guy" on the field.
With a decent four man pass rush where we don't have to blitz, it allows our safeties to play 2 deep or "Cover 2" which keeps them in coverage. Obviously, it's okay for safeties to blitz and play man coverage occasionally, but that really removes their deep "safety" coverage ability. The Broncos are forced to blitz too much to get pressure, leaving our safeties out of position and giving the impression that they are poor in coverage.
yeah i think we do need some safety help. i mean i love lynch, but how much does he got left? 1 or 2 seasons right? so i think we should start looking at that
