What's with the newfound interest in safeties?  More McCourty at corner in our future?
 
EDIT: Guess he's a special teamer, so probably nothing, just curious given that we still only have 6 OL plus whatever Michael Williams is healthy

Could he be a Slater fill-in?

More of a Bolden fill-in.

As SuperNomario pointed out on Twitter, McDonald is the man responsible for dropping the ball on McAfee's one shot at punter throwing glory, chronicled by that IdiotKicker guy.
