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.

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
