Time to give the defense some love

Iloka is underrated also.  We have one of the best safety duos in the league.  I don't know a lot of other safeties off the top of my head, but I can't think of a better tandem.

Nelson didn't really get to play up to his potential in Jacksonville. He looked good his rookie year playing FS, but then they started moving him all over the place and not let him get acclimated to playing one spot. He played both safety spots, outside corner, and the slot. They started having him play more corner than safety towards the end of his run.

We stuck him at safety and he's one of our best defenders.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
