Corey white' and vacorro practice new positions

Corey White was playing safety and Kenny Vacorro was corner

Would not shock me. It was said Vaccaro's role would change and he did play a ton of nickel last year. So I could see him as our nickelback again. And White played safety in college and his best asset is tackling so him at safety isn't a stretch.
These are drastic times after all.

Did a little checking and White said he practiced at safety and corner think week. Nothing on Vaccaro outside of some role change, but him back at nickel makes sense.

@lyonsyellin:
#Saints Corey White says he has been working at safety this week, with Kenny Vaccaro getting work at the “star” nickel corner position.

Why did we never do this with Jenkins?

because make sense it would

Why haven't we been doing this with Vaccaro all season? Dude was a stud in this spot as a rookie.

So let me get this straight. It isn't a good idea to switch a guy position right before he goes into the most competitive talented leagues hes ever played in?
admittedly, I didnt watch a single second of vaccaro in college. Did he play like this or was he a more traditional safety role.
I did watch a bunch of videos of white when we drafted him and i had high hopes. He has a ton of highlights of him coming down field on the ball; since he was a safety. Maybe it's a good idea?

White played safety in college, not cb; it's kinda like the opposite of jenkins

Yea but he still moved where he's supposed to be now. Same with how Jenkins was better projected as a nfl safety than a corner but they still made him a corner initially.

Nah, White played CB at Samford, but was expected to move to Safety in the NFL.

Vacarro has never played the traditional safety role much. He even made a comment about it this past week. He was basically Texas's version of TM7. White never played safety in college, scouts felt he would be a better safety in NFL than a CB. I like White at safety, he is physical and aggressive, also he will be constantly looking at the QB, he struggles in man coverage and can't turn around to locate the ball from CB position. At safety, he won't be in those positions as much except for man coverage on a TE or RB, which he will be a decent matchup with. I guess we will see.

I'm confused, I re watched some samford vids and he is all over the field but predominantly outside, but then he is listed as a SS on most of the draft profiles I find.
Appears he was just by far the most talented player in samfords secondary and just went wherever the bad matchup was
