I think at the end of the day Ward would be a better S than an outside CB. I think he can be a solid outside CB but he could be a pro bowl safety if allowed to play there. Maybe we can have Tartt gain 10lbs and play ILB next year and move Ward to Safety next to Reid. Tart is listed at 218 now and for comparison Bucannon is 220 and Ray Ray Armstrong is 236, so maybe Tartt can get up to the 225-230 range. Just a thought, we know how adding weight worked out for Tank, but I think Tartt has the skill set to be a Deone Bucannon type LB if he had to. Just throwing stuff out there for the sake of this thread

Not bad....brooks played well at ilb when asked and also at olb.
We need to keep tartt at ss bc bathea will be gone.
Robinson stays starter at CB
Ward stays at CB and can take over for tartt or Reid if injured
Brock can be a backup CB or slot CB.

If you move Brooks inside who the hell plays OLB?
RR and DJ need to be the starters with Ward in the slot at CB
Tartt needs to take over for Bathea
Marcus Rush needs to get time it's not like we can get to the QB anyways

I'd be very surprised if Ward made it back at all this year TBH. When it gives like that and he grabs for the top of his thigh, that's a deep tear/strain. You don't want to be back-peddling with an injury like that.

We are making so many mistakes on defense anyway, we might as well put our fastest players on the field.
Tartt for Bathae
RR to start
DJ for Brock...hell, anyone for Brock
Like to see more of Blair and Dorsey on the DL.
Don't really want to touch the ILBs since our DL is so young and keeps making mistakes.

Tank/eli cont. to pretend to play at will...Lynch is already at Sam. Have no clue what to do with rush...can he get to the qb against another team starters, we know for damn sure we can add another 20 yards of run game stats if he gets significant pt.
There's some wiggle room where the db's are concerned...I say ward over tartt because imo he's the 2nd best tackler on the team (not hitter) and this ranking is certainly up for debate. Tartt still is just a hitter with a faulty guidance chip and with the middle of the D being soft at all 3 levels imho you need substance not splash to help firm that area up.
Also ward/Reid safety rotation allows better coverage options than reid/tartt or any Bethea option/combination. With that one move IMHO you've vastly improved coverage option/ability without tipping you're hand pp wise as well as not taking anything away from your fs/ss run game responsibility.
with DJ and Robinson outside
Not sure if Acker/Redmond/ new guy can hold down slot but I'd like to see what red can do.....I'm not even sure if Acker is still on the squad I could be missing someone
Moving brooks is a Hail Mary the current ilb talent is
Just throwing poop out there seeing what sticks

Can't think of many to be honest.
Maybe move Dial to NT. Purcell has been brutal. Dorsey is not the same player he was in 2013.
Brooks hasn't played ILB since he was in Cincy. The position has been decimated by injury, we need help there. Coaches have been reluctant to play him there, even as his pass rush skills have eroded. He's been a declining player for the past 3 years now, I really think he should be a 2-down player at this point. Move on from him in the off-season.
