He does his own thing too much and that will only get worse when he gets paid. Rams know he's going to play well this season for a couple reasons IMO:
1. He knows it's a contract year, so he'll toe the line a bit more.
2. He started to grasp the defensive calls a bit more down the stretch; I still think he requires Talib to guide him but after a full camp this year he should be comfortable in knowing what he's doing, which for a guy like him (he doesn't have elite makeup speed and needs to be able to play instinctively while knowing the call) is important.
And re: the safeties... Deep middle play was one of our biggest problems defensively last season and while Wade did a good job disguising things down the stretch that is why they are hell bent on adding to the room. CB, btw, is of course another area of concern and they will certainly take a CB if a fit is there with value at any point.
