Josh Shaw to get a look at safety

[jowczarski]

Couldn't get through all the posts - but some quick points:

I caught up with Vance Joseph, who thinks Shawn Williams can "do it all" when it comes to playing safety. You're right - he wasn't asked to do what Reggie did because, well, Reggie was there. But VJ think that highly of him.

As for Shaw - Guenther proved last year he wasn't afraid to bring Williams in at S/LB in the dime package in that hybrid LB/S role ... and I think Shaw could fill that as well over a tight end or a fourth wideout.

Forget about Leon. He had back surgery in the offseason and there's a reason he's still out there. I guess the Bengals will always leave a door slightly open ... but they're at 90 players now and I imagine they'd wait until very late into the summer. Leon was a little miffed that his outside spot was handed to Dre last year, so he may not be ready to come back as the No. 5 corner / backup safety.
