A FS doesn't a defense make... but the lack of one can kill you, and 'Niners fans above all else should know that. We suffered from lack of speed at the FS position for years and we had a horrid pass defense because of it. You can't play over the top of elite receivers if your safety can't get to the sideline. In effect, you become borderline incapable of double teaming anyone playing near the numbers.
Agreed, the Mark Roman days of excellence...
