I thought about that back in camp, was thinking about that as well as even Ramsey cycling to one of those safety spots (basically going to more corners in a Cover 4 look) but the prob is our corner play wasn't good enough. Long struggling pretty much put a cap on crazy ideas like that I think, as we now need Rochell outside the hashes.

I actually think Long could be our nickel corner vs some teams on the schedule (the ones without big matchups like say Kittle) but the Rams are all-in on having Ramsey closer to the box for run fits. This idea isn't new but Staley put on a clinic in using it to his advantage and I have to say it's grown on me. But then again I'm an old school type fan who loves strong run games and defense. I'd be happy as hell watching our offense mash it on the ground for 200 yards every week if we had the complementary defense that could get off the field.
David Long's best post in this secondary at this time may be the standard Nickel Back.

Morris should run Ramsey & Rookie Rochell on the outside. Not sure who will end up being the 4th or even the 5th corner this upcoming game. Donte Deayon who was an MR53 Giant in 2018, Kareem Orr ex Titan or DC Morris's corner last season with the Falcons Tyler Hall. All can easily be brought up this weekend from the PS. I would not be surprised if 2 of the 3 are brought up.
