Safetys are just cornerbacks now, playing deep without impact.
Having a aggressive, hard hitting safety this day and age is more of a liability than it is a bonus.
They get called for PI/Holding an absurd amount
If they hit a WR, they will get flagged
If they hit a WR hard, they will also likely get kicked out of the game
And then they will face a huge fine.
These refs and the league have changed the fabric of the game. Sean Taylor, John Lynch, Atwater, Lott....gone.
Saw it just last week with Iloka...
Too bad Mike Mitchell is able to make dirty hits.
