Regarding this subject, I thought Adrian made huge strides this season under Denny Green.
I probably should've posted............
(see Randy Moss thread for more detail; http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=58;a ction=display;num=1105912500on Jan 20th, 2005, 10:10am, Philly wrote:

....................that I thought Adrian is a minor upgrade from Chavous at
the strong safety spot rather than a serious one.
I BEElieve this BEEcause; and although Chavous is the more "well-pronounced" SS of the two (making the 2003 pro-bowl after moving from CB to safety); Adrian is younger (by 3 years I BEElieve) and a better athlete than Corey (notice I didn't say better football player) and is still coming into his own at this point and SHOULD only get better - whereas Corey, IMO, is all that he is probably going to BEE right now, physically speaking.
However not to BEE disregarded by any means, Corey has outstanding instincts and work ethic and his football intelligence is 2nd to none. But his production was hindered this year by Minny's decision to only rush their linemen thus, making Chavous - who is not a great cover-guy - work mostly in a cover-2 scheme.
All in all, I expect Adrian, if he can improve on his consistency each yearas he did this season, to BEEcome the better safety if he hasn't done that already (big part of Arizona's improved "D" this year).
To put this in a nut-shell, Corey is a tweener safety/corner back and Adrian is a tweener safety/line backer and in addition, Corey has the better instincts whereas, Adrian has my nod on better physical tools.
All that is said,I might BEE comparing apples to oranges in a minor sorta way.

If we're talking fantasy, then I would certainly choose Wilson over Chavous, but the original context of the discussion was the players as NFL defensive players, not fantasy starters. In an NFL context I would take Chavous in the short term because of his experience, intelligence, work ethic, character, and ability. Not that Wilson is lacking in any of those areas, but I think that Chavous has some more intangibles that are important to winning football.
PS - This is one discussion I never anticipated I'd be having...

Your right Philster! We were basically talking NFL football as opposed to fantasy football in regards to Chavous & Adrian. But more specifically, I was referring to Minny's NEEDS as it relates to NFL football and their team defense.
They just don't have a LB that can tackle right now OR if I am missing something here - a LB that can tackle and make a DRIVE ALTERING DIFFERENCE when they do so.
Taking that into consideration, coupled with their mediocre pass rush , Adrian Wilson IMO would BEE an upgrade for the Minny Vikings over Chavous.
However, (yes, you knew there had to BEE a however  ), if Minny is going to keep their safetys in cover-2 then, they might as well keep Chavous around cuz he is a very good player and better at coverage than Adrian is right now though, if you were to ask me if I saw Corey make any ballhawking plays that were to BEE remembered this year - I would have to say NO.
BarnaBEE, I couldn't agree with you more on the FF part of this conversation in that, hands down - and - in addition to your Giant's league, even in an IDP system that weights tackles & big plays as equal emphasis such as my league does - I would take Adrian over Chavous.
To comment on Dex's preference, for myself, it would really depend on what type of strong safety I wanted for my team or more specifically speaking, what type of defense I had to build around.
More of a ballhawk?; ie: basically just an extra free safety out there defending/intercepting passes and providing support over the top for his corner backs or more of the traditional SS in that, basically they are just an extra LB that imposes fear over the middle of the field in the passing lanes and can add significant run/blitz support in the trenches as well as cover the TE when needed.
