Most of his interceptions were just from him playing center field or even man coverage and the ball being a horrible throw.  Notice that, if he had better hands, he would have had a few more, easily.  

He is a solid hitter, I'll give you that.

He was a decent player, maybe even above-average, but you can't say that it will be that difficult to replace.

Got to disagree with you Brad. I think we'll have a decent replacement for him with Shawn, but it will not be the same. We have not had a safety of his quality since Fulcher.

He had a couple of rough patches, but for the most part was totally reliable and made a lot of clutch plays. I get that he is old, but he was playing pro bowl level ball in 2015.

If the offer was close to ours it was a mistake to let him go.
