Management's decision to sign safeties Deon Grant and Brian Russell was a bit puzzling. What were the plans for them? Start both. During postdraft minicamp, Grant was at free safety and Russell was the strong safety. Coaches and teammates gushed about their communication skills -- to the point where quarterback Matt Hasselbeck admitted he stopped trying to read the coverage before the snap because Grant and Russell were so good at helping everyone else disguise it. But they did more than just talk. Each made plays. Grant displayed an explosive burst to close on passes. Russell showed the savvy to read what receivers were going to do.
