What's the board's opinion on our safety position for next year? Losing Bonner and Mitchell puts a little added pressure on Nickoe to come back as close to 100% as possible. I know we have some young guys that can play if needed, but Nickoe really seems to be a difference maker with his hitting ability, help against the run, and fearless attitude. 1. Do you think he will be the same player after the injury? 2. Am I making a bigger deal out of the hitting and run defense than I should?

He's 6', 200 lbs. I wonder if it would be a good move to put him at Linebacker. He's a big hitter and if he could add about 20 pounds to that frame he could possibly be a good outside linebacker.
