It's easy, and only takes a few moments.If they did sign Weddle they might be more prone to play more packages with three safeties... McCourty and Weddle plus Chung up closer in to the box, Butler and Ryan at corner, Collins and Hightower, Branch & Easley/Brown at DT and Jones & Nink/Sheard at DE. Chung is kind of like a third LB in that situation but you're sacrificing size for coverage ability. However he can tackle an RB just fine and he's covered TEs very well recently so I don't really see an issue with that. And McCourty and Weddle would be providing excellent support in back.
Why would it be a surprise? He gets to pair up with an excellent safety duo, play on a legit defense, big market team, and a team that's in SB contention every single year.
That too. Having two premier intelligent safeties on the field really lets you do some fun things in the back end.The fun part for me is offenses wouldn't know which safety (McCourty or Weddle) is going deep and which is staying low. Both could cover "Center Field" so to speak, but could also hover in those intermediate areas and clog those up. Without knowing who is doing what, it makes it harder for those pre-snap reads.
Because safety is a position of strength and Weddle is going to get a significant paycheck. It's hard for me to see them paying both McCourty and Weddle big money. If it happens I will be happy because he's a really good player I just don't see them doing it.
But DT then not as strong as FS today. No question he improves back end, but hard to argue RB, WR, OL not greater needs.Report was Weddle's market was at around $5m per.. BB gave 34 year old Shaun Ellis $5m for a year
Not sure if this guy has any credible sources
