Best Free Agent Safety

[BVP]

For one thing, he is better than what we had at this position. For another thing, he can defend the pass too, not all that great, but he does a good job for us.

Excellent post. Everyone read Ravage's post. JOHN LYNCH IS NOT THAT GOOD! He is basically what Kenoy is, a running stuffing DB. You have to do more in the defensive backfield than stuff the run.

No we have 0 good safeties.

I would consider Lynch a "good" safety. Not great as he is in the latter part of his career, and is not great in coverage. But is good against the run as you state. This year it will seem more balenced with Ferguson at safety now that Kennoy is gone. So we upgrade in coverage there.

LMAO, I take it you didn't watch the Playoff game or the Raider game. HAHAHAHA.

didn't Lynch have a cast on in that game . can't expect his best with one good hand.

[OrangeSmoke]

That's beyond the point. He still had 2 wheels, he could have at least COVERED the TEs, instead of letting them run by him.

He is not that good? Maybe because he's playing out of his natural position at SS. See in Tampa Bay, he had teammates Dwight Smith, Ronde Barber, i forget who the other CB was, Derrick Brooks and a whole cast of players. Lynch was able to do what he did best, and that's stuff the run, and not worry so much about coverage. Saying John Lunch is not that good is completely false considering he did go to the Pro Bowl 5 times before ever stepping foot in Denver. He is what he is, a run defending SS, not a ball hawk. Roy Williams isnt that great in coverage either and people are saying he's amazing, try to tell him to do more in the backfield.

Regardless of Lynch, the future of the Broncos safeties is in the hands of Jeremy LeSueur, Sam Brandon, Chris Young, and possibly Brandon Browner. I can imagine that in the near future, Brandon Browner at SS, and Jeremy LeSueur at FS, just because they are both ball hawks, and Browner can lay a hit.

Top I agree

He took the cake on that post

I hooked him up too

[BVP]

Man, why can't I make the good points.

But I hooked him up with some CP.

Nothing like a little common sense and some research. John Lynch isnt that good, ha ha ha. Kill this thread, its over.

[Momentum]

Nick Fergerson is the real deal. This thread is irrelevant unless your looking for a replacement for Lynch. Im not a fan of Lynch's coverage but he's Kennedy's equal as far as laying heads out.

I meant coverage safety. Lynch is a good strong safety. Strong safetys are used to clog the line of scrimmage, in run support. Rodney Harrsion is another example. Free safetys main task is for coverage. How do you know Nick Fergueson is solid? He hasn't even played a game yet.

Omg.

How do we know Nick Ferguson is solid? Last time i checked, he started 10 games in 2003 replacing Kenoy Kennedy and then starting at free safety. He racked up 72 tackles in 10 starts. He also is a role player on special teams. He is definately a solid player. Why else would you get a nick name "Train Wreck".

Ferguson isnt the replacement for Lynch anyways. Both of them are in their 30's already and are getting slower. Like i said before, the replacements are in the younger players. Before you say something like "He hasnt played a game yet", you better know what your talking about.

Is Feugerson a good coverage safety? Let's hope so for Bailey sake.
