I think they'll be very creative to get him the reps. Maybe a hybrid safety-slot cover guy. I won't be surprised for both Jenkins and Harper to be gone in 2014. This year as much for cap & contracts they won't be leaving.

Another thing, the old free/strong safety roles and designation is quickly becoming history. It's evolving just to left and right safeties. They have to do it all, jam the box and cover deep.

I won't be either, which is why I'm starting to like the pick more. Obviously we need the safety help. I just hope it means Jenkins is either cut or just reduced to backup.
And as far as 2014 goes, I won't be surprised if Vaccaro and IAQ are the two starters.

This. Having a clear strong safety and free safety, signals where the strength of coverage is located. Thus, having two safeties with range and run support abilities is optimal.

In regards to our situation, MJ has at least shown the ability to do both of those ( i know, i know, never consistent). Whereas, Roman, clearly can't perform one of the above listen prerequisites to be a quality safety in today's game. I've been firmly planted on the IAQ pain train, so don't take this as a petition for Malcolm.

I think we trade Harper before the season starts. If not he will move in as hybrid type player where he will be half safety half blitzer lilb
