[QUOTE="dansz15, post: 249648, member: 1262"] Ok here is the deal with Rouse: He had potential to be a first round pick. He hit like a linebacker in college. He had decent vision, decent hands, and decent speed. His tendency to over pursue was what knocked him down to the 3rd round where I think he wass drafted. Answer, truthfully, is that yeah, he can probably be effective as a starter RIGHT NOW in the season. Against better teams, probably not. However I do feel safe with him in the secondary. Bigby is a better option, but with how often he is injured so far in his career, my question is do you use a second round pick next season on a replacement for Barbre or do you go for some more depth at safety? There are some great options so far from the looks of it that could be available that late. I think Nate Allen from USF could be a top canidate as a replacement, esp if he could sit the bench for a little. Bottom line is that the reliability of our safeties is too much. Collins is lights out, but Bigby's constant injuries has to bring up some concern. I am not sure if he has been healthy for a good portion of the year since he has been with the team. [/QUOTE]
