Crazy right? But consider this:

Thomas Decoud was the glaring hole in our secondary. Speed and strength couldn't make up for any of his mistakes. To become significantly better at FS we need a player with average ball skills and not afraid of contact. He doesn't have to have blazing speed or be a hard hitter. Simply someone who can be a solid saftey. Just think how many times he was out of position, whiffed on a tackle, never defended a pass and got shied away from contact ( does the play where he let sam bradford run right pass him ring a bell)? He severly underporformed last year and should have been benched mid-season. I do agree that we need talent at that position but seeing that there is no imediate talent in the free agent pool leaves us no choice but to head into the pre season with with what we got. Its not like we have to to replace a Jarius Byrd or a Troy Polumolu, just an extremely sub-par overpaid Saftey.
