Hmmm.....I don't necessarily disagree but I think Fitzgerald is better off at FS where he can roam and use his instincts, range and ball hawking skills. Now if we could genetically combine Fitzgerald and Pruitt thst would be ideal. I just don't think Fitzgerald is physical enough or strong enough to fill Scott’s role the way Scott is being used this season. I like Pruitt and his potential but he needs more live reps. The idea of platooning them both at Nickel is intriguing but I would feel better about having one player with Scott’s skill set which is unreal. I'm not sure most realize what a versatile player Scott is. He can cover man to man, he can play zone, he can stuff the run and he can blitz but he isn't just versatile, he does each at a very high level. Sometimes Hetherman even gives him a gap responsibility vs the run. We'll see how the staff handles this in the offseason. Maybe your way works. I just know that I'm going to hate losing him.
Fitz is a safety 100%. Still needs to add weight and strength but he is not best suited for the nickle.
