One or two of them might be gone. I'd like to see one of them moved to Safety, either Cook or Culliver.
We aren't moving any cornerbacks to safety. Cooks is a press corner who gets lost in zone coverage. Why the hell would we move him to safety? Cully mirrors routes well, but can struggle to play the ball properly once it's in the air. Why would that make him a better safety than corner.
We lost one safety and three corners. We signed one safety and 2 corners. Why are we looking to turn corners into safeties? We will almost certainly draft one of each (maybe 2 corners).
Well for one, Culliver was a Safety first in college before making the transition to CB his Senior year, it's not that crazy of an idea. As for Cook, I think he would fill in nicely at SS in the 9ers defense, he definitely has the range for the position, being lost in Zone coverages can be coached or do you not think the 9ers do that sort of thing there.......coach?? I mean they have a lot of time to transition him, OTA's, mini-camps, TC and Preseason, you act like he's gonna start and be in a game tomorrow at Safety.
Baalke openly laughs at the idea of switching Culliver to safety. Everyone knows he was a safety in college before he switched to CB, but he's never taken a rep there as a 49er. I don't think that's an accident. Maybe his college coaches took awhile to notice something the 49ers got right away.
Cooks has been in the NFL for 4 years, he's never intercepted a pass, and he still struggles in zone coverage. That might be more than a coaching issue.
Oh I'm sorry, did you talk to Baalke and did he openly laugh? Some of you people and your sarcasm is ridiculous and see it all the time, what are you 12.
Not taking a snap as a safety in the NFL as absolutely nothing to do with being able to play it at the next level or do you know that already and it can't be done. Go ask Ronnie Lott about that.
As for Cook, tell me how he struggles in Zone coverage, what is it that he's reading wrong, does he move to early before the snap count, does he react to late in his zone, does he fail to diagnose plays in zone.....WHAT IS IT THAT HE STRUGGLES WITH IN ZONE?!?!?!
