That's what I was hoping to discuss with people who were more knowledgeable than either of us Is there a particular reason regarding his play that makes you think he won't play safety?

M@ck Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 To be completely honest, if we can somehow swing Cravens and Killebrew , we can use them both interchangeably and have them both on the field as hybrids, it would wreck qbs completely. Ideally for this we would need cash and Cravens but I doubt we could get those two with them both being fringe first/second rounders.

I think in a cover-3 scheme like ours he would be perfect because he can retain that tweener-player type role. That being said I don't think he's bad deep, either. He definitely has the speed to do just fine, and from what I've seen his instincts are usually sound. He does take risks, which may not be what you want from a deep safety, though.

And trust me, I don't know who yours are...but mine are better. But I can't name drop. Jobs are real. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be the FS's job in Quinn's scheme. Cravens will be patrolling the intermediate and close to the line like another LB. He will be able to cover RBs and TEs, which Cravens can do well.

Knight of God Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Thing is, they are not secret or anonymous. Many have already been directed to my friends...not sources. I don't use the material in argument, but I will say you can find anything I tell you on the web, or wait to hear it from an analyst who will get it in a few weeks. Its up to you. I have name dropped once before, it was a VERY bad idea. I don't know most of you, so why would I put myself in a bind to prove a non-point?
