He needs to. He's one of our best DB's in man coverage IMO. He destroyed Steve Smith on the primetime game in the dome.
He wasn't on him all game. I think they put him around him near the goalline specifically to do what he did to him.

Not knocking Vaccaro but he wouldn't be able to cover Smith for a whole game. He was one of our best DBs last year because PRob went down early, Greer midway, and White was taking his lumps on the outside.

This year he won't be one of our better cover DBs(though he's still good at it) and that's a good thing. It means we have CBs that can actually cover. But like I said he will get some nickel play. I just think they want White and JB to get more play there.

On single high, like Paddy said we didn't get Byrd for nothing. He'll play a very similar role to Sharper during the SB run. That's when we had Sharper single high and Harper in the box. Now we have Byrd single high and Vaccaro in the box.

I'm aware. However, when he did play on Smith or Lafell he was successful. Same goes for Alshon Jeffery in the Chicago game. It's more frequent near the goal line that you see him man-up tight to the LOS, but they'll use him anywhere on the field to cover a WR.

First game last year against Atlanta he played every position on the defense besides D-Line That's when I knew he'd be special. His versatility is unparalleled. I think it'd be foolish to not use it... Then again, that could be a reason for him getting injured last year.
