cb's - safeties?

Was actually thinking about him as a FS.
People often times think of SS like Kam Chancellor, and view it strictly as "run support" while FS is predominantly the pass coverage safety of the two. While that is true, the SS is the guy that is typically more predominantly in man with TEs and slot WRs if in base vs 3 wide, and just overall more involved with the defensive plays while FS is more the deep last line of defense typically. Strong in Strong safety referred to them lining up on the strong side (the TE side). But more and more now defenses don't really have much of a difference between what they ask both safeties to do. Like if you're running Cover 1 or 3 yeah the FS and SS role are different where the FS is the traditional Earl Thomas/Kerby Joseph type of "center fielder". Definitely don't think Damari fits that mold. He'd be a SS here technically, I think. Though it likely doesn't even really matter tbh.

And of course Zaquon who is best in the box would obviously be a SS or the "rover" role - we called it Striker under Diaz which is the LB sub when teams are in 3wide but you don't want to run pure nickel (3 CBs) D....

Patterson struggled in coverage and almost had me wondering if he could gain weight and play LB, but he’s only a true freshman and you need to give him time to develop at safety.

What are thoughts on DBs in the last two classes, other than Patterson and OJ? Any factor in next season?
Mack if healthy seems like a good nickel backup
Day seemed to flash on special teams, could be a backup safety

hope we don't need the 25 class next year, except maybe Fitzgerald in return game
