Kalu at safety

I like that idea.
Though I will say those aren't exactly a couple killers at safety when you are playing quarters vs 21 personnel. Maybe it's a nickel look.

Agree, I think Kalu is more than serviceable at corner and much better suited there. So has Lamar really stepped it up, or is this just an experiment?
Tackling is his best attribute, imo. But I still think LJ would make more sense at safety if they are trying to get those four on the field.
Agree with this. We are probably basing this too much on last year as far as how they use the safeties. Kalu doesn't seem to be that downhill slobber knocker from the safety spot. Wasn't Jackson supposed to be the short side DB when recruited?

I fully agree, i wish Lammar Jackson would be let loose at safety. I think he would kill it. Kinda makes sense since he WAS the number 1 safety in the country his senior year. Hmmm imagine that!?!?
Didn't Jackson say he wanted to be a corner though? I think I recall that was the deal but I could be wrong.

I think it was Elliot that said that there will be times when we play with 3 safeties. I'm guessing they are trying Kalu at safety to see how he fits in that type of alignment.
Could it be that Jackson has the talent to be out there, but going to this formation makes it less likely he can make mental errors. Last year I believe mental errors were what limited his playing time ; or times he played slow . Definitely saw him fail in coverage a few times while seeming confused.
Happens, just wondering ?
I don't think last year factors into anything these secondary coach's and Diaco's decisions. They are simply trying to find the right combination of guys.
I think Reed and maybe Domann would fit that category. The pair of Kalu and Williams probably not. And I've always like Williams from the time I saw his HS file. Reminded me a lot of Mike Brown, but I don't think A Williams has the same physical skills. Still smooth and natural at the safety spot, and a sure tackler. Just not a big thumper.
