too lean for true edge and inner box play with the guards. He has the speed to play deep and down on the line. Definitely has ball skills. He would be better at safety than Burns. He is like the badger imo. Why not try? Think Derwin James.




Good lord. What a horrible take.

It really isn't. He doesn't have the size to play on the line or edge.

Seen it many times this season, lineman would get a hold of him and he was blown up and not effective.

He actually did decent when he was dropped into coverage.

Maybe Baker can use him better than House and change that but it's definitely not a horrible take.

What are you talking about? He’s basically a Box Safety with a different title today. We may call him a SAM, but that position is similar to Fullback in football today- almost completely obsolete. He played the Nickle role on passing downs. How is this any different than how a Box Safety would be treated?
