2 starting safeties per team. That right there is already 64. Not including all the other safeties that come in for other snaps.

18th out of 64 is damn good for a rookie whether 1st round pick or 5th.

^ what I was thinking. it's all safeties and there's 2 per team.

I was thinking 18 out of 32 which isn't so bad for us, but thanks for the rather logical clarification. I see the light.

yeah how many awful 5th round safeties did this team draft when Angelo was around. actually, were they 5ths? I think Wright was a 2 and Conte was a 3, there were a lot of other scrubs in the mix too though in years before I think.

Chris Harris I believe who was actually a pretty solid safety. He wasn't the fastest safety but still very reliable. Steltz was a fourth, Wright was a third & Manning was a second, I believe but may be wrong. All were good ST players too which was an important aspect of Lovie & Angelos teams.

Fangio has made a lot of players money after they have moved on from his D while making some average players look alot better than they are.

A system D again, it's working.

Yes, it appears that you are correct because I see both Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor on the list.

Where ever PFF has him ranked he has been very good.

You see him against the run.
You don't hear his name in the passing game.

That is all that I can ask of a rookie.

The Bears secondary is also trying to survive with almost NO pass rush.

The Bears pass rush is Pernell McPhee getting triple teams, Goldman and Jenkins getting a little pressure, and then nobody else.

After re watching the Vikings game I am surprised the Bears secondary was able to play as well as they did.

Does this fill you with as much dread as it fills me with?

It's like being told on the internet by someone that they will bury you, or admitting your mistakes on an internet forum.

Hopefully this is addressed moving forward, the pass rush not the funny stuff.
