I mean the guy's physical for a safety but he's still a safety. I mean he's essentially built like Justin Reid. Plays very similar as well. I don't see them trying to make a linebacker out of him. Gay played a lot of SAM sort of stuff; they didn't have him out there doing Dirty Dan's job or anything. Short term he might be a Sorensen replacement. Long-term he steps in for Reid. And I still think Conner complements that sort of player better than Cook so I'd like to see Conner get that FS sort of role with Cook in a battle with Hicks for the starting Box role and the other guy ends up playing the S3 sort of thing we were doing back with Dan.

Yeah - we do seem to have a bit of a shortage of guys I just kinda actively dislike out there...
Let's just say Nnadi since we can all form a consensus around that one.

Nnadi? The cornerstone nose tackle with three Super Bowl rings? Nnadi is on Mount Olympus for the Chiefs.

I think I like that idea. Conner demonstrated some excellent athleticism in his limited snaps last year.

Conner was such a surprise last year. I didn’t think he could be a NCB but he really excelled there

And Watson is more of a backup to Williams than he is that sort of player, IMO. I think it's Williams but less. I don't think he's capable of being as versatile as Sneed was and McDuffie is. So unless you were willing to roll Williams/Watson at CB1 and CB2 with McDuffie moved into the slot for Nickle sets, you were really kinda limiting your flexibility. And I don't think Williams is good enough for that job. So yeah, Conner being able to play NCB or 3rd safety and letting you use a few different packages to create some confusing looks would be awfully nice.

Williams and Watson make me a bit nervous as the pure #2 guy. I think they can do it, but there's some potential issues there.

It's not often you can expect a team to have 2 legitimate shut-down corners in their defensive backfield. What we got last season was pretty damn rare. Williams, IMO, would be as good as #2 CB as we've had since Carter/Hasty (last year notwithstanding). I think the defensive backfield will just be normal ol' run of the mill good. Rather than one that put up one of the best combined efforts of the modern era. Good is gonna be good enough if we continue to develop and make gains elsewhere.

They'll just have to be a bit more matchup specific, but hopefully, the front 7 has a stronger year and allows them to give those two some help. |
