Quote:because he was good in coverage in college and is also faster than Poz. Poz has always been a bit slower in coverage in the middle of the field. He will get exposed on the edges not to mention he will be a year older

 

Poz actually played well in coverage in 2016 outside of the SD game.  I don't think there's really much of a speed difference between them either.  I know Poz has lost a step over the years, but he's still got wheels. (Oddly enough their official 40 times were nearly identical.) 

 

I wonder how Marrone and Wash feel about Fowler playing at OLB?  How this defense is going to play out is quite a mystery at the moment. 

 

SS, OLB, MLB, and CB#2 are all question marks until we know how they will use Jack, how that will affect Poz, and whether they sign/re-sign or draft at CB and SS.
