most fans can't seem to accept that about rolle,,they are quick to point that he cant cover, he plays where he does in the 3 safety set for that very reason. losing him would not make us any better, in fact, we would be worse. hill may or may not be able to do it, and do you really trust KP and his knees? sash is awful and brown needs to have another good season before we pencil him in for good.
Whats the point of versatility if your below average in everything u do. Can he cover the slot in Man? No, Can he play single high? No, Can he play halves? kind of but he often goes out of position. The best thing he does is play in the box against the run. U dont need a 9 million dollar safety to do that. Will Hill could do what Rolle does . Being versatile is only a good if u do many things well not poorly
The Defense will be worse until they take his salary and spend it on someone better. Hated that signing from day 1

will hill can do it based on what? and if he could as you say,,why is rolle still here? the FO obviously disagrees with you,,,rolle is not here to be a cover guy,,he is here to play the run stopping hybrid LB which is a must for the 3 safety set to work. so who do you suggest we replace him with?
Will see if he is still here come training camp. This is the 1st year they could realistically cut him. just because he hasnt been yet doesnt mean he wont. Might be waiting to see if they can resign Brown and Phillips.
Read back what your writing and think about is that the best way to spend money on a team. 9 Million on a safety that cant play the pass . No wonder why this Defense is awful thats ridiculous
What is his natural position?
He was drafted as a CB and was moved to Safety, not because of old age, but because of poor coverage ability. The Giants signed him as a Safety, he looked bad out there all season. We had a CB that had more tackles and interceptions than Rolle that season. The following season he was moved to CB in Nickle defense because of a bunch of injuries. Then we were reminded of why he was moved to Safety to begin with. The only place he seems to have significant value is as in-the-box Safety, but that isn't what he was given the big contract for. We needed a center fielder who would be a Safety net for big pass plays, which sadly is his biggest weakness because he's not very good at keeping the play in front of him.
IMO Rolle is JR's worst FA signing.

if I'm not mistaken Rolle blew a number of coverages last season when he was supposed to giving help over the top which resulted in big plays
