Manny Diaz presser today:
“I could see our back seven different types of mix and matching. You could have guys go from safety to striker, guys go from striker to will. There is some positional flexibility there that we’ll use the next 15 days to try to find out just who we think can play.”
Wondering if he’s thinking about moving Keontra Smith to will? I don’t think Frierson would move to will. According to PFF, Keontra had the top run defense grade and 2nd best tackling grade on the team last year (behind Flagg). He only missed one tackle all season. He’s listed at 5-11, 215 lbs, so he could realistically make the move if he adds another 5-10 lbs. It would be interesting to see him and Flagg at LB - a lot of speed and more importantly, your two best tacklers.
