    Also, a FS with some playmaking skills will help out CB #2 plenty with over the top coverage- might just make the QB think a little.

    FS needs upgrading- Clark is ok, but strictly a tackler- not a coverage guy.

    Thankfully it's a pretty deep draft for Safties.
    I thought Clark was OK when Troy was healthy.. his role changes with a guy like Carter in there.. but with a healthy Troy who is a liability in this D? It's clearly Gay...

    I'll add that Gay will get better over time.. IMHO, I'm praying it was "first year starting" LeBeau scheme and he is thinking... instead of doing. It's not the easiest D to learn.
    He was so far out of position at times it was scary.

      I think that is wishful thinking Felt, Gay just looked lost and overmatched all year. We'll see what the draft brings and then we'll know what the coaches think of his performance.
