Quote:The problem is Prosinski has always been a liability in coverage and he's been in the league for some time. Dude was a 4th round pick. Being a safety is being the last line of defense to the endzone and being able to adjust. He is not able to do that plain and simple, regardless of how decent he is on special teams, his primary role should be a high priority. As a safety he sucks and has no business trying to cover anyone. I'm sure our special teams could survive with the departing of Mr. Prosinski.

Two points to that. One is something I remember Dave Campo (was it Dave Campo?) saying on Hard Knocks: "Do you play free safety? I've already got a free safety; his name is Darren Woodson, so if you play free safety, you'd better be great on special teams."

 

The second is that the Jaguars have, historically, kept a misfit-type around because he excels on special teams. Sorenson, Chad Nkang, Montell Owens (who was admittedly good when he finally got a chance on offense), Kassim Osgood, and now Pros. You can't load your roster up with those guys, but it usually pays to have one or two aces in coverage.
