Safety position. . .

I forgot to mention this in my previous post. This will be the third week the defense will be without Jim Leonard. His replacement, Eric Smith, suffered a concussion last week and has been ruled out for this game. So who does that leave at safety? James Ihedigbo suffered a high ankle sprain in the NE game but should be able to play this week. Brodney Pool will take over the play calling responsibilites. This will also be Dwight Lowery's(pictured above) first game in the NFL as a saftey. He played safety in Junior College at Cabrillo College were he had 13 INT's in 15 games. He then went to San Jose State where he played CB. He was a two time All American and had 13 INT's.  He has the skills to be an excellent coverage safety but he is still a little small to be an every down safety. He feels that safety is the position best suited for him. He has one interception, this year,that was returned for a TD against the famous Brett Favre. Lowery is in his third year as he was drafted in the 3rd round out of San Jose State. Let's hope he does well and is not a liability.
