Lucas should definitely be on the field more often

Solid!

Yeah, I'd like to see him starting at nickel for a while. Stout's not bad and has made some notable plays in his brief run, but Lucas seems to show up at least once or twice every game with a play that ends up making a difference.

was actually wondering why he was NOT the starting CB after having a very very GOOD preseason..

Upton is pretty stout, but Lucas is a vet / playing like one, is versatile and looks a little better out there
They're both good enough to start so what's the issue
when one comes off the bench, no beat shall be missed

I bet he would snatch an INT every other game if they gave him a shot at FS... let him read the QB and sniff out incoming ballz

According to Kyle, hopefully this will earn him more opportunities:
Head coach Kyle Shanahan credited Lucas' preparation and energy for his standout performance."I mean, Chase works his butt off," Shanahan said. "You guys see his energy with how much he talks. But that's how he is all the time. He's so involved with everything. He can't stay still—in a good way. He's always talking about each play. He is so attentive, he's running around, and he's always banking reps even when he is not in.
"I think when Chase gets out there, it's just his awareness, how fast he can recognize things—the motions and stuff. He doesn't hesitate on what he does. There's zero hesitation. He shoots his guns, plays fast, and I think that's what gives him an advantage."
