Agree with this, plus Iloka and Williams are signed for the long term.  Which means it would take an injury to even give Derron Smith or Fej a shot.  I even like our depth at Safety.  

Perhaps we would be more enamored with our safeties if they were granted more blitz opportunities.  It seemed a lot of Baker's highlights were at or behind the line of scrimmage.  The very few times they did blitz a safety, I really liked what I saw.  

I guess the issue becomes the coaches play scared and have no trace of testicals...just an empty sack.  Kind of like my lab, Hootie.  I waited to have him neutered for a year because there is all this literature about how it helps their joints develop, etc. and after two ACL surgerys with my first lab, it made sense.  However, after his surgery, he just has an empty ball sack hanging down.  It looked kind of pathetic.  Then, I saw that they have artificial balls you can put in....I thought it might make a nice Christmas gift.  Ultimately, we did not buy him balls...no need for another surgery just for cosmetics.  His sack did eventually receed and you don't really see it any more.

I know that might have been the tangent to end all tangents, but the take home message is that I wish Paulie and Coyle had more balls.  I think our Bengal Balls, at least on defense, went to Minnesota and Miami.  Maybe they sell prosthetic balls for coaches?  Might make a nice Christmas gift.
