Re: John Lynch signs with Pats
Any criticism of Lynch's game has to be considered carefully with our current situation. Once Tank went down, we were left with two problems: No reliable fourth safety (I personally haven't seen enough of Spann to say I want him taking a regular turn), and no depth behind Rodney.
I think Meriweather will be good, but better suited to FS, and Sanders is a very capable backup, but I don't want him getting 100% of the SS snaps if Rodney gets hurt.
If we still had Tank, I might question the move, but as it is we needed a vet safety and he's as good as they come for a one year deal.
