It would be nice to find a safety and a DB with those attributes as well, I admit.
Mayo and Hightower don't have that attitude. Maybe because it was Hightower's rookie year, fine. Mayo just isn't the guy pumping up the defense on the sideline.

If the rest of the world thinks are beloved Patriots are such bad guys (which following the Pats you know they are on crack), give the people what they want. And that could be exactly what this team needs.
It sounds like you are asking for someone who will placate you by sounding like a tough guy in interviews.

Hate on Bernard Pollard all you want but an enforcer like him who isn't terrible in coverage is exactly what this secondary has needed for a long time. Those of you who have read my thoughts on Ryan Clark in the past know that this isn't a new thought for me.

Lawyer Milloy. John Lynch. Rodney Harrison. Troy Polamalu. Bob Sanders. Safeties that set the tone for their defense, and will decleat you. This SB will feature Ed Reed, Bernard Pollard, Dashon Goldson, and Donte Whitner, four mean safeties. We need a guy like that, who won't make stupid mental errors the way Brandon Meriweather did. I thought we were getting that when we drafted Patrick Chung, but apparently not. Devin McCourty is a nice ball hawking defensive back, but he is not a tone setter.

Devin Mccourty hopefully with a full offseason can make a full transition to safety and lock up one of the two positions. We need a Brandon Spikes in the secondary who can lay the wood and instill fear in receivers.

Looking at San Francisco and Baltimore they both have those types of players patrolling the secondary. POS Bernard Pollard () and Donte Whitner. We haven't had that type of player since Rodney retired.

Laron Landry is ideal for that position.
