The whole D needs to tackle better.

I think with Woodson’s ball hawk tendencies as well as his intelligence & athleticism could be positives in the safety position. I do agree the chance taking tendencies could potentially give up a big play or two. Won’t the safety position give him a little closer visualization of the quarterback? I don’t think up close too many QB’s will be able to fool Woodson.

Woodson needs to tackle better than he did last season, and he needs to play a more conservative game. He tends to take a lot of chances, and that could be a killer if he is in the safety position.

Woodson has been better in tight coverage than in off coverage. So, I have my concerns that he will become a good safety.

Obviously, the intelligence and athleticism are there.

Im going to be very disappointed if they still end up having a mediocre defense. If they dont make it in the top 15 capers may just leave or say fudge it and off himself from all the stress.

in a system where he hasn’t played at all and has had constant injuries. he may have a step up on him, but barely. hayward may be an all round better corner than he is anyway. cant wait to see the preseason.

we still don’t know what we have in Davon House. I’d put him above Hayward simply because he has a year in the system.

Shields needs to be able to cover inside. He is stuck on the outside currently because of his closing speed. Hopefully he can make a transition inside and that would help the transition for Woodson. Otherwise, Hayward better be able to cover the inside.

the move does clearly make sense, and who wouldn’t want woodson’s career extended, but they have to be careful not to leave a hole at corner by filling one at safety…unless williams and shields return to 2010 form (which i think they can and will), im not sure how comfortable i am with them being our #1/2 corners based on last season’s performance, even if it means being able to put peprah on the sidelines.

but hopefully hayward can contribute sooner rather than later. also not mentioned here is davon house, who, if healthy has the size and potential to be a stud. to move woodson to safety full-time ultimately depends on what hawyard and/or house can do, as long as williams and shields hold their own.
