Personally I would take C.C. Brown because he hits hard, got a bonus because he loves being around the ball, and he isnt a p*ssy

Like Glenn Earl, and we all know what Im talking about!

Uhhh....., no, I don't know what you're talking about. Please elaborate.
 
Glenn Earl b/c he's got much better coverage skills. Agreed, CC hits harder, probably should be in for goaline situations. The only thing that made earl fall from the first couple rounds wuz the injury and he's healthy now.
 
All I have to say is I dont see Glenn Earl earning a money bonus for (as a rookie)being around the ball on every play, kinda reminds me of Troy Polamalu, without as much speed, and without the hair:cool:
 
from what i understood it was a sucker punch. so be careful with words, or asterisks.

and i choose earl over brown because CC bites too hard on fakes and is poor in coverage. at this point im confident in saying it is earl's job to lose.

I'd like to see them both on the field at the same time. With Earl healthy now and Brown with all the PT he got last year, should be worth a shot.
 
yes maybe Brown is a little slow, and he bites on fakes, but he was a rookie, who was taken in the 5th round, so I think he did pretty good for a 5th round rookie, but it aint something a little time cant fix.
 
actually he was a 6th round pick, but the only reason he did see any PT was because of the injury to earl. he is agressive and that is good but sometimes he takes himself out of the play and that is something that might be too hard to fix.

coming out of college, earl was the 2nd rated safety behind s. taylor on alot of boards but he dropped due to his knee injury and he was also well known for his hard hits. cc brown would be a situational player and ST standout but i really couldnt see him getting past earl for the starting SS spot.
 
I'd take Earl. I don't think too many of us would fair too well against a sucker punch. No reason for you to be slandering the guy.
 
Last time I checked, Earl also struggled in coverage during his rookie campaign. Last year in limited time, he came through with 2 INTs and 3 PBUs. I say start Earl and CC, but bring in competition. We've had good sucess drafting late-round safeties, why stop now?
 
i havent watched that much NFL europe but whenever i do i see anthony floydd making big plays, but i havent really watched enough to see if he gives up big plays to. but what do yall think of this guy

NFL europe syas it all. Maybe he'll be ready to compete in a year or two.

Is he a Texan?
 
I'd much rather Glenn Earl playing SS then i would CC. Better coverage skills make up for his hitting, as long as he makes the tackle i dont care how hard the hit is

You are saying weve had luck with late round safeties but you want to bring in more to compete with them as starters? That kind of goes against them being "good" late round safeties no?

Look at our past 2nd day draft picks and lets see who's still on the team.

2002
4th - Johnathan Wells, RB
5th - Ramone Walker, SS
6th - Petey Faggins, CB

2003
4th - Domanick Davis, RB

2004
4th - Glenn Earl, SS
6th - Jammal Lord, FS
6th - Charlie Anderson, OLB


2005
4th - Jerome Mathis, WR
5th - Drew Hodgdon, C
6th - CC Brown, SS
7th - Kenneth Pettway, OLB

Including Curry Burns who got cut awhile ago, that brings us to 5 Safeties who've been drafted on day 2 in only 4 years. So obviously, Im not the only one who thinks that additional competition at the position isnt a bad idea. Brown and Earl are both cabable of starting, but do you really think its a bad idea to give them a challenge?
 
I think its a waste to keep taking day 2 safeties to challenge instead of taking an earlier round guy to come in and be the playmaker instead of having projects and test players and such

Or, it could mean that they've been looking for the right safeties. I think we have them now. Last year was the first time that both were on the field together & I believe they'll be even better this year. I don't think safety is a position that needs to be addressed.

you are exactly right about that,safety is not an issue but conner back is a big concern we need another corner like Duante hopefully we can get one one in the draft

you can make a good arguement that the FS position is one of the teams biggest needs at this point. many other positions we are unsure about, except for a #2 WR, there is someone on the roster who can fill that role. the coaches must now to intense evaluations on where we need the most upgrade and IMO FS is at the top
 
I've been an Earl supporter for a while now. He showed signs of leadership and had some nice INT/PBUs. Brown was playing FS for a while when Marcus Coleman was done getting piggyback rides.

Edit: How about we draft Ernie Sims out of FSU if he falls to the second? He plays with a chip on his shoulder and has some speed. He could play Safety and provide depth at LB.
 
I like Earl a lot, but he has to play SS. He doesn't have the quickness and doesn't play the ball well enough for FS. I believe CC has more speed and agility and could become a good FS, however, I'm not confident of that. That being said, who knows what the secondary will look like now that their head isn't flooded with confusing reads and assignments. Maybe we have a bunch of ballhawks out there and they just haven't been turned loose yet. Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing Ramon Walker compete for some playing time at safety. I've always liked him.
 
I don't think there will be a specific SS and FS. I thnk they'll both play both positions. It'll depend on down and distance, match-up, etc.....
 
reguardless what anybody says it's a blank slate right now with new coaches
who ever is the best in training camp will have the job
 
All I know is that CC received about 240,000 from the NFL pool for people who sign minimum salaries and play a lot of minutes. He was number 2 on the list. That was pay above and beyond what the Texans game him....

Why do you want to use a pick on a safety in which we have 2 good safeties we have other issues on this team to address like cornerback and further more we talking about we need an reciever what about the TE Davis. The man runs a 4.3 and he is 6'3 252lbs or something like that what more do you need.hollar back tell me what yall think?

I wish we could have Vernon Davis, but that would destroy the whole point of us paying big bucks for Putzier, but nice try it aint gonna happen
 
Go for one of the big safeties w/ the 2nd, then pick up a corner in the 3rd. Griffen should still be there, that would give us a big physical corner.

What i was saying was draft davis as a receiver not as a TE so we can still get a good receiver out of this year's draft b/c there isn't no great receivers coming out for a while

we have 2 good strong safeties- neither are great in coverage though- which is an important part of playing FS
 
dude pay attention to the stats C.C. is only a rookie and im pretty sure that with a little coaching he will be fine give the team a break if you dont like him go play madden or something and trade him if you dont like him....hollar

The pass rush played well sometimes, very well occassionally. D-Rob still had only 1 pick.

When the pass rush did play well, the ball was thrown away from dunta, hence the 1 pick. P-Buc was the guy to pick on for qb's because he was always soft in coverage. Robinson held down his side of the field, and was not tested, eventually the schemes will force throws into the defense's strong suit, unfortunately it's not yet that time.
 
I still think that C.C Brown should be our starting SS

because hes a rookie, do u think every rookie never made a mistake?, Pac-Man made a lot of mistakes, and I mean he can work on all his problem areas, I say give him 2 years and we will make the pro bowl.

I know its not his speed that u ppl dont like about him

Rodney Harrison is the slowest starting S in the NFL yet he is maybe one of the best, so i think C.C. Brown will be one of the best,
I think of him as a Defensive Tom Brady.:cool:

Does anyone remember when Pac-Man tried to hit the Browns' Reuben Droughns with a cheap shot after the whistle? Pac-man tried to imitate D-Rob, but he took the bigger hit.
