Keith Tandy has played some outstanding football over the past two weeks, filling in for injured free safety Chris Conte. Tandy came up with game-sealing interceptions in both of those weeks, and led the team in tackles against the New Orleans Saints, creating another interception with a great jump on the ball.
Meanwhile, Chris Conte has been up-and-down at best in his 11 starts this year. He’s struggled to create impact plays, with two interceptions on the season, and has had a few lapses in coverage, as he has every year. Quite simply: Conte is not a great free safety.
