Depends on the coverage, but yeah. Last year it was mostly Cover 3 and Cover 4, and in one there's a single high safety, and in the other there are two high safeties. And we did both with minimal pre-snap disguise, so it's pretty easy to determine what we're doing. I think Blackmon is better at SS, but I don't have a super strong opinion on it, and I'm someone encouraged by reports of him making plays playing FS today.

from what I've heard we have one of, if not the easiest schedules this season based on last year win totals

all good points. the FS is the last line of defense, I would rather have the savvy vet who seems to be hitting his prime rather than a young question mark at the position. also, our SS tends to sit closer to the line of scrimmage, so a missed coverage or tackle there hopefully won't hurt as bad as a missed coverage at FS

I think the problem is that if Blackmon is at SS, we'll have to be extra conservative when we're playing Cover 3 or Cover 1 because we'll have a "questionable" FS on the field. And anything that encourages Gus Bradley to be more conservative is probably not good for the defense. Now, if Blackmon can continue making plays at FS and Cross holds up at SS, then maybe it's okay. I'm getting a little antsy, though. The first preseason game is still nine days away, then we have two sets of joint practices. I hope we see a good amount of defensive starters in the first game, and if things look decent on the back end, I'll relax.
