Football Herm Edwards gives glowing review of new Patriots safety Jarrad Page

I have to say the safety position has been the most befuddling story for me to follow with the new regime. Going into the 2009 season, would anybody here have listed safety as one of our top 5 problem areas? To me it was clear that Page was solid, and Pollard was pretty average, but sometimes frustratingly inconsistent.

Next thing we know Pollard is cut, Page is in the doghouse. Mike Brown is starting and Jon McGraw is getting playing time. Berry is obviously an upgrade. Lewis seems to have the upside of being Page. Just seems like the egos or something not football-related got in the way with the Chiefs handling of Page.

Berry/Page would have been a pretty damned good tandem, with Lewis learning and growing into the job. And no sign of Jon McGraw unless somebody gets hurt.
