Maybe this time the answer is actually on the roster. .

He has shown the ability to be a solid tackler and has some coverage skills.. being a CB most of his career. ..

Could he transition to Harper spot as a in the box safety with a off season of bulking up?

iirc he was kind of Eh outside of man. And I don't think he's strong enough or agile enough to cover most teams TEs at SS.

Then again neither is Harper, so.

Not having to face a teams best or 2nd best WR would help.. He was physical as a CB.. And like you said he has better coverage skills than Harper.

Could he with a year of bluking up and learning behind Harper becomes a nice safety. . He does have some what of the body for it.. all he needs to add is maybe 10 or 15 pounds of weight..

He has size, seems to be aware and a good tackler.  Definitely a zone guy anyway.   But, others on the team have observed that White had a confidence issue.  Fixable in a young player and then you're not forcing him to another position longterm for a short term problem.

You think they would have tried it already with our need at safety. Rivera and putting the best player on the field though.....

They needed him at CB last year and he had earned that after his rookie season. .

Now that he played his way out of that position maybe they will look to see..

Also you notice..

This is me stating a opinion on a different subject. ..so.....

No one claimed you never spoke of different subjects. The claim is that you regurgitate the same worn out complaint every time a transaction is made in free agency. Now back on topic because discussing it further is getting us nowheRe.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
