On to NE for their interview with Adams. The good news is they would probably use him as a backup. Wait, just what are GB's plans for him?

Made the pilgramige from the Lounge I see ;) You are correct about safety in the 3-4 or 4-3 not being that different. I should have been clearer with that comment. In Capers' system, the safety is the one who makes all the calls, not just the secondary calls. Collins doing this scares the hell out of me - he is as dumb as a box of hammers. And completely agree that Adams' coverage skills are what are attracting the Packers to him, esp after watching breakdown after breakdown at that position in coverage over the past couple years...

I would say his skill set with being solid in coverage is probably the flag that attracted us to him. Collins is a athletic safety with a ton of range.. but sometimes has a mental lapse and gets lost. Bigby and Rouse are coverage weak, they are more the enforcing type... Bush, Preprah, others.. are players failing to take the next step in progression.. we have to protect the backend of this defense.. especially with us talking about mixing in zone coverages... having a couple of strong coverage type players on the field will be a must..

No offer from the Jets. Opps, he probably is asking for more money. I don't pay the NFL anymore than I already do. If Safety is the need, talk to Leonhard. No offer from the Jets.

Watch them play the game Ron. Head over to http://www.nfl.com/gamerewind - sign up and watch Adams play before passing judgment on him....
