Buc Ball Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 If we do cut a DB, Wilcox seems like the odd man out, especially since he is a similar type of player to Ward. Conte isn't amazing, but given the players we have, he seems like a more natural backup to Tandy than the other guys at the position. Evans hasn't had a great preseason and has some developing to do. Signing Ward for a year gives him the chance to develop behind a high end player with a similar style. I'd expect Evans to be the third safety and would like to see him being a big contributor on special teams whilst also contributing more on defence as the season goes on.

bucsfan333 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 I think Evans is our Gunner opposite Robinson in punt coverage. I don't think he'll play much defense right away. I expect Conte and Tandy to start at the beginning of the season, with Ward eventually taking over for whoever doesn't play as well. And I think that's gonna be Conte. He'll probably be bumped down to our third safety. The good thing about our roster right now is that we don't have to rush Evans out there if he isn't ready. We finally have the depth to not have to force rookies onto the field. I can't remember that being the case since Gruden's days of no draft picks and his love for veterans.

I remember during training camp certain defensive personnel packages had 3 safeties on the field at the same time. They had Wilcox playing the slot in this grouping, which I felt was odd. Evans fits that position better, Ward would play close to the LOS and Tandy center field. Also, I go back to the Dallas and Saints game, they had a difficult time stopping the running game. If Ward is in decline, he still should be the best in box safety on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 Didn't think about that. But is it worth it to try and bolster our secondary at the expense of our pass rush? Ward isn't a coverage safety at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 So we need to get on it with Sanborn. Glanton can do it in a pinch, but I don't think I want him doing it full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 I'm honestly shocked McNichols fell through. He better be on our practice squad soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravishingone Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I expect them to sign a QB to the practice squad. Not sure who at this point. Gotta believe McNichols will be on the practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
