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.

Who's going to take the Mathieu role of being a big ole bitch and throwing your hands in the air when someone misses an assignment?

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.
