Wolff's goals last season were fairly simple. He wanted to win a starting job and learn the defense. At the time, Wolff's competition at safety was much weaker. The projected starting safeties heading into camp were Nate Allen, who had struggled the previous season, and Patrick Chung. Wolff started as early as Week Four against Peyton Manning and the Broncos after Chung was injured, and retained his starting spot when Chung was healthy enough to play. However, a knee injury sidelined Wolff for six of the final seven games of the season, including the playoff loss to the Saints.
