Two safeties can't play 100% of the snaps...

Simmons can't go from 10ish snaps a game to the primary 3rd safety.

Who plays kick coverage? It can't be either of your only two safeties.

What in the actual (curse word)
Apparently they can play 100%.

Or it tells us how poor VJ is, which I believe is the case.

FYI Luketa isn’t an OLB imo & will struggle until he’s inside. Typical Blowseph
He was a disaster at ILB at Penn State and played himself into draftable territory on the edge.

Thompson should have been cut a year ago. He is mediocre at special teams and outright bad at safety.

I hope Luketa can take some defensive snaps away from our current terrible triad at ILB (Vigil/Vallejo/Niemann). This defense is so unathletic it hurts.

They already have. Thompson has played 6 snaps in 3 games. I don't see what this changes.

It may not have an impact, but it's killing your margin for error. If something happens, like Budda or Jalen getting knicked up during the game, you are again putting players in positions to fail.

It's only for this game. Washington should be back next week.

Plus is Thompson gets dinged Simmons is better than D.Thompson. If Budda gets dinged Jalen can play S and Simmons can play SS.

Luketa is not very athletic either

Talking about snaps we still have Whitaker getting almost every snaps since week 1, and it's so weird cause he is in the practice squad...
He knows assignments but doesn't matter if he can't cover anyone and misses many tackles

The plan is to have 2 black, dreadlocked, slow, unathletic edge rushers in the hope it confuses lineman into thinking they have concussion.
Yeah a predator look could scare defenses and force them making mistakes
