re: Good M. Triplett evaluation of existing defensive talent

Believe it or not he has a pretty good fit in Rob Ryan's scheme, even though he's not worth near that much money.

He likes to employ his strong safety a lot like Williams used him, since both run defenses based around the Buddy Ryan 46, where the strong safety roams around down in the box and doesn't have to cover deep very much.

THey may just try to get him to rework the thing to save some cash instead of outright cutting him. He'll probably end up looking better next year if he's still on the team.
