This is a guy (because of injury) that doesn't get talked about a lot around here, just going back and looking at his highlights and reading some of the scouting reports, Sample is a guy that I expect to benefit the most from our defensive signings. I think he has all-pro potential as a box safety because of his athleticism and big-hit/enforcer playing style. Sample was also a stud in coverage at Louisville, showing fluid hips and natural instincts in the pass game, he has all the makings of a "difference maker" in this scheme, playing the Kam Chanchellor role as an enforcer. I think James upside is bigger because he's more explosive than Kam, the only reason he "fell" to the 4th round was because he only played 1 year at Louisville, however his tape showed a 1st/2nd round talent. If you're a AFC South receiver that primarily runs your routes across the middle of the field, lookout.

I think SS will be a very close watched camp battle.

I wouldn't be shocked at all if Gipson and Sample were the safeties next year, with Cyprien playing as Sample's backup and a nickel/dime linebacker.

If Sample can stay healthy, he should win the starting SS role. I can see Gus using Cyrpien on obvious passing situations as a another linebacker.

Nice knowing there's an All-Pro sitting on the bench...I wish I hadn't run out of my Teal Koolaide.

LOOKOUT DeAndre !!!

Put 10 - 12 pounds on Cyp and move him to linebacker.

 

Odrick - Jackson - Marks - Fowler

            Cyp - Jack - Smith

Prince - Gipson - Sample - House

 

That would be really nice.

I don't think he needs to put on any weight, Deon Bucannon plays mike linebacker for the Cardinals and is 215 lbs, you can get away with that if you have a bunch of space eaters up front, which we do.

Cyp could play the same role than Mark Barron with the Rams.

Gipson and Sample. Sounds like a law firm.

You either die as a good poster, or live long enough to become the troll.

This dude is jacked

A healthy Sample throughout camp is definitely something I am looking forward to.
