Panthers moving Chinn to safety. Thoughts?

Snow said that's where he needs to be for his career longevity. I mean, if he plays a Kam Chancellor type SS role, that's basically a S/LB hybrid anyway.

[TheCasillas]

I’m excited to see what he does at the FS position

Just call him play maker.

Does he have the speed to play FS? I assumed it would be more of a SS role.

At 225lbs and tackling machine… most def a SS.

I hope he has fewer tackles and more pass breakups/ints.

SS are known to play closer to LOS so they tend to have more tackles

[Captain Morgan]

I prefer to see him at SS to keep him closer to the action, but he did run a 4.45 at the combine.  He may have to play some FS this year because he might be the best option right now, but if we can find a true FS, he'll be the the Chancellor for this team for the next 8 to 10 10 years, and it will be damn fun to watch and we'll be

Rhule previously said if they could find two starting quality safeties, they'd continue to use Chinn the same way they did last year. I'm guessing so far, they're not feeling it.

All that said, position designations these days don't mean as much as they used to

Especially in defenses that flex and change to the opponent.

True, but do they get more tackles than your LBs?

Do we want our SS to have the most tackles on the team?

Not if the LBs are worth a damn.  Ours were, well not that good.

Carter was an instant upgrade over Whitehead once they switched out, plus Perryman. Burns made it sound like Chinn will be the nothing gets past him guy in the back
