Safety Rankings
Safety top 5
1. Ed Reed 2. Brian Dawkins 3. Rodney Harrison 4. Roy Williams 5. Donovin Darius with 6. Darren Sharper and 8. Corey Chavous. Reed was maybe the best defensive player in Football. Reed has great range, ball skills, and is quite good playing the run. Reed is most probably the most complete Defensive player in football. Brian Dawkins is the best defensive player on the Philadelphia D. Dawkins is tough to block, and is never out of position. Dawkins can play both the run and the pass. He is clearly number 2 on this list. Rodney Harrison is the Most Physical safety in football. His physicality is intimadating. He doesn't cover all that well in space. The best of these safties against the Run. Roy Williams was out of position at FS last year, best in the box than versus Coverage. Not quite as good versus the run as Harrison. Donovan Darius is also a big time physical player, but is better than Harrison or Williams in covergae. Darius lacks the speed or range of the top safeties.
Vikings-Darren Sharper is the third best versus the pass. He isn't overly physical and has durablity issues. He should bounce back somewhat this year. He is a big improvement over Brian Russell. Corey Chavous while he didn't have a great year last year, and I would like the more physical Wille Offord to start at SS. Chavous doesn't have great speed, but good ball skills. He's pretty decent against the run. I just would like to see a more physical presence at SS. The Vikings should be ok at safety, just due to their incredible smarts. I don't know they will create a lot of plays, but will take advantage of any mistakes. I would rate them behind Eugene Wilson, Troy Polamulu, and Micheal Lewis for sure. So they are both around the Top 10. The fact that the dead-weight in Brian Russell will not be there, should improve the secondary right there.
