why arent many clamoring for Bob Sanders?

[X-Era]

In the Cover 2 system, the S's have the lions share of the coverage. I feel our biggest weakness in the secondary was at S after we lost Simpson. Whitner is solid as hell but how can we feel "safe" on the other half of the field?

Greer is very very solid if not an Asante Samuel in the making. McGee is up and down but is a solid corner.

Add a Bob Sanders in to the mix, a stud OLB, and another solid DT and our D is much much better.

This would be a great move for us. Safeties cost much less than CB's, it helps against the pass and the run. The guy is a proven stud in the Cover 2, hes an overachiever with a great character, hes young, and hes a great leader.

Why the hell not?

Whitner and Sanders play the same position.

The D while statistically bad hasn't played bad this season. Not to mention Sanders plays the same position as Donte Whitner, probably the best guy we have in the secondary right now and not really ia position in need of an upgrade. Toss in Sanders asking price might be too high it just doesn't add up we get him.

Whitner and Sanders play the same position.

Whitner has already shown the speed to play CB, he certainly can be moved to FS. Having a SS play FS helps the run, if your guy can also cover like a CB, your in great shape.

Because the Colts are about as likely to let Manning go as they are Bob Sanders.

Re: why arent many clamoring for Bob Sanders?

dockery was/is overrated and we paid way too much for what we got. its either one extreme or another.

I think your assessment of talent is overrated.

[Jan Reimers]

Re: why arent many clamoring for Bob Sanders?

Unbelievable. We bring in a quality player like Dockery, and we've spent too much. We pass on overpaying a player like Sanders, where we have a number 1 draft pick playing well at the same position, and we're too cheap.

Re: why arent many clamoring for Bob Sanders?

if anything we sign one 0f the cb, not another saftey

We run a cover 2.

We do not need a highly paid CB.

Why do people not understand this?

I'll admit Dockery's been better then I thought he'd be. In terms of value, let's compare him to the other free agent LGs who signed similar contracts this past off season.

D Dockery: 14 G 14 GS 4 Pen 24 Yds 3 False Start 1 Hold 1.00 Sack 9.00 Sackyds
K Dielman: 14 G 14 GS 2 Pen 15 Yds 1 False Start 1 Hold 0.50 Sack 4.50 Sackyds
E Steinbach:14 G 14 GS 3 Pen 15 Yds 2 False Start 0 Hold 3.25 Sack 41.25 Sackyds

*Dielman was named to the Pro Bowl as an alternate starter.

If you think Bob Sanders is going to leace Indi then your crazy, Colts FO will not allow that to happen.
