He's great because he's a mixture between the historic safeties that played in the box and laid the wood and the pass-defending safeties, which is perfect for the new pass-first league because he can make the hits to knock the ball loose/hit an rb/cover or hit a tight end/receiver that comes across the middle or, like you said, he's a ball hawk! He's a playmaker that we've needed at safety!
I think that him at safety and Alexander at corner (assuming he resigns here) will make a hell of a pair in our defensive backfield!
I really hope they get Alexander back....I thought he brought a certain physicality our secondary lacked and he covered well. Just thinking that Bengals may have had a good plan before Waynes went down. Just thinking with Waynes, Jackson, Alexander, Bates and Bell ....not bad
and with Phillips and maybe some talent added in FA or Draft this could become a strength of the team.
