Safety is looking rough. The starters are average at best and the depth is pretty non-existent.

That is my opinion as well. Blackman it appears is resigning with the Colts.

Leaves Simmons, not sure how much he has in the tank.

Biggest need is interior pass rush.

They’re set at iOL. Whether they should be is another matter.

I’m disappointed they haven’t done more at Safety. They don’t even seem to have made any effort to bring in any decent safeties for the PS.

Anthony had a great camp last year and the coaches were quite high on him.  They may be comfortable with him as the backup, or maybe even pushing for a starting spot.  But yeah, on paper, the starters are mediocre.  If Battle can refind the form he had as a rookie, it would be a big boost.

Dang, Blackmon was the other Safety I was hoping for us to sign. Simmons did fall off a bunch last season.

I would still bring him in along with an interior pass rusher for the Defense.

I just think the coaches really think one of Kris Jenkins or McKinnley Jackson will really emerge in their sophomore season.

Maybe Daijahn Anthony as well at Safety next to Battle if Stone continues to suck.

They seem happy with the players they have which is frustrating after last season.

Agree, none of us should be happy with the lack of moves at Safety, but I like Anthony's upside and Battle was damn good as a rookie.

Tycen Anderson I think would of been used late last season since he was so good as a gunner for us on ST's. I know ST's are really important
but so is starting Safety lol
