They backed themselves into a corner with the safety spot. I think they wanted Edwards or Bishop to start with Rapp and knew they were better than Damar, and they both got hurt in training camp and then they just couldn't justify playing them over Hamlin. And that is why keeping those guys around is a bad thing. To cut or bench a very popular teammate/player in Hamlin to play a guy like Edwards, who had done nothing to earn the spot, borders on losing the locker room. Please get rid of the feel-good stories in the offseason and then you won't feel the pressure to play them. There is no galaxy where Hamlin is a better player than Mike Edwards. And after all that, Hamlin is still around because no one was interested in free agency. I hope the front office has the courage to move on from him so they don't feel forced to play him. I respect all that he has been through, but he is one of the worst safeties in the NFL and isn't good functional depth because people like him so much they feel the need to play him. Move on from the solid good guys who are terrible athletes at the bottom of the roster and replace them with younger, faster, cheaper. It's nothing personal, he just isn't good.
But anyway, how about that Casey Rogers guy?
