The Jaguars do not have a FS competent enough to be out there on his own. We'll have to see come pre-season if one of those guys are ready to step up.

 

I highly doubt it, but I like being pleasantly surprised.

 

 

I meant to reply to this with a long winded bunch of stats that I dug up from PFF and instead I posted it to the thread for position of most need by mistake, so much for my multitasking skills.

To sum it, Cyprian gets a lot of our love and it is deserved for his tremendous effort playing every defensive snap in fifteen games..  He did, however, put up some pretty bad numbers in his fifteen starts, ten of which were at free safety and five of which were at strong safety.  He rated 84th of 86 safeties and still had negative pass coverage numbers in two of his last three games.  He will probably be a great strong safety but not the free safety he appears to have been drafted for.

 

By the stats Evans and Guy were slightly better overall and at pass coverage, but our safeties rated pretty much bottom of the league as a group.  Evans started ten games at strong safety and one at free safety.

 

All four of our rated cornerbacks were in the upper half of the league.  It sure looks like great work by our cornerbacks hid some pretty serious deficiencies among our safeties.
