It seems to me it was Tom Nelson late one year that was pressed into playing safety and looked totally lost vs the Jets. Run, pass you name it. I think they had the playoffs clinched, maybe seeding, I even remember being at the next week's gave vs the Jets. Regardless, from that point on I just remember every year being fine with any sort of aging vet as a backup safety. I'd rather have an emergency safety that can't get there as quick than taking the wrong angle or biting hard on a fake in regular season or even playoff game. Williams looks good, Smith has potential so if they carry a ST guy like the Illini that I can't spell then fine, but even if Wilson is cut he's a candidate to call at home late in the year.
