    Do we now have the best young Safety combo in the NFL

    I hate to bring up any positives while so many are swimming in the cesspool of negativity, but we have two really good young Safeties. We haven't had a combo this good since the best days of Troy P and Ryan Clark. I'm excited to see them grow together and better yet, we have them locked in for the next 4 years.

    I have a feeling we are going to see an uptick in INTs.

        why do you always say stuff like this, you realize that's a negative comment, right?

          I’ll take +1 every time.

            Edmunds was supposed to take a big step this year

            I certainly haven't seen that and it's my opinion that his play has been decidedly poor. now you can make the case that's because he has had and injured Sean Davis and a scrub from the AAF alongside of him and I will listen to that argument

            but to call him a "really good" safety at this point in his career is premature

                Best potential safety tandem right now. Id say Thomas and Jefferson are the best duo right now. Edmunds can't miss tackles like he has this season. I think he'll get better.

                I hope that Sean Davis isn't left behind with Fitzpatrick now. Big Nickel with Edmunds next to Bush and Davis at SS, Fitz at FS can be an awesome package to throw out and especially with 70% of plays being in subpackages. And if it's a dime then put Fitz on their best slot as a CB, Bush on the back, and Edmunds and Davis back to their SS/FS role. Don't see why Davis needs to be left in the dust.

                  I hope so on all counts.

                  Fitz certainly makes the D better.

                  I think you're right that they can grow together and make QBs think twice about throws all around the field.

                  Lord knows we could use some interceptions.

                        When both are healthy, Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye with the Jets is a really solid young safety tandem.
                        Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                        Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                        We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                        We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                          I would say they are near the top, i think Edmunds has played well flying around the field.
