apparently Harper and Jenkins were rated last and 2nd to last among all starting safeties. Its a huge issue on our defense.
I think Harper and Jenkins have the ability to raise the level of their play if the level of play around them increases. Corners need to play well and the front 7 of any D can make or break any secondary. But Harper still ain't worth his salary now.

yeah, there hasn't been that much speed at OLB in a long time. It gives the safeties even more ground to cover, no wonder they miss so many tackles.
the thing that kind of bothered me was how Quddus and Rafael Bush could look a lot more comfortable back there when they got their chances as opposed to guys like Harper who makes way too much money. Jenkins has had his moments back there, especially in 2010 but this past year was pretty bad.
edit: Quddus and Bush looked more comfortable in passing situations than the starters is what I meant. the run defense was just flat out shitty no matter who was out there.
