Sample will get a chance to start...

That's really good to hear. I had a fantasy draft for game yesterday so had a hard time concentrating.

Quote:What really impresses about Sample is the way he plays sideline to sideline. Valuable player moving forward.

Sample was the highest rated safety against the pass in college last yeat on pff for whatever thats worth. But he did look good the other night. If Brown or Cyp starts slacking or not playing well i can see Sample getting pluged in for either, FS or SS. I think he is our number one back up for both safety spots

Quote:I think naming Sample the FS is veiled confidence in Cyprien. They knew they were going to give Cyp another year and they also know FS was a liability for us so they said that he would play FS. I wouldn't be shocked if he is our starting SS in a few years.

It's the Joeckel/Monroe thing all over

Agreed.  He needs to stay healthy and the rest will come to him.

If Sample didn't break his arm in training camp, he'd be the starter against Carolina. By games four to six, he'll be our long term starter along w/Cyprien...

I wouldnt bet on it.  Brown has been one of the best players on our defense in preseason.  Ready to see if he can keep it up when week 1 starts

FS go from liability to a strength? That would be awesome.
