("extremely average". I know it ain't right so don't blow a gasket. Just making a point.)

Studebaker's interceptions against Pittsburg, DJ's big game against the Donkeys, Page's plays against the Raiders.

Guys haven't done anything else to warrant the drool.

That being said, we really don't have anyone else, so I'd rather have Page lining up alongside Berry than any of the other scrubs we have on the roster, until someone steps up and actually wins the job.

No blown gaskets. He is average. I'm not trying to make more out of him than he is. But I think he's considerably better there than the alternatives we have now at the position. The only other safety that's seen legit game action is McGraw, and I'd prefer that they save him for special teams and emergencies. Morgan has had his chance and has done squat with it. The rest are completely unproven. Page is a relatively cheap guy that's somewhat versatile and doesn't have any glaring deficiencies. A useful tool to keep in the toolbox...
