Safety

[*SHRacerX*]

With Derron Smith and Shawn Williams ahead of him on the depth chart, Fej wasn't going to get too much of a look at Safety . However, injuries to both (Smith is back but seems to always be injured), the door has opened.

I supported the signing of Shawn with a second contract, and although he struggled early last year, I felt that we saw signs of improvement.

What I like best about Fej, from when I scouted him at Illinois is he is a flat-out tackling machine. He doesn't whiff on tackles, and the guy stood out on a porous Illinois defense that had minimal pass rush. I thought he was a LB when I first watched him because of the number of tackles he made near the LOS.

I am going to put myself out there: If Fej gets a pick in Week 1 against the Ravens, or has some other big play...like a forced fumbled that gets picked up for a TD, I am buying his jersey.

Maybe that is rationalizing because he is already "my guy", but I think he knows what a rare chance this is for him and he is going to make the most of it.
