Jack: linebacker or safety?

#1

Now that the season is almost over guys which position do you see him at next year? 

 

I know it all depends on the new HC and which scheme we'll be using.

I was more oriented on him playing LB (not at the current position though) but recently I started leaning more towards him playing safety. 

 

I know it was discussed before and some users on here suggested it but then I recently found this pre draft article: 

 

http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/spor...story.html

 

To cut it short for people who don't want to read it all:

 

<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia, 'Droid Serif', serif;color:rgb(51,51,51);">“They really envision me as a DB,” Jack said in a recent phone interview. “Even at my pro day, toward the end, they kind of jumped in and had me do DB drills. They really envision me there. … They feel like I can fill that spot Eric Weddle was at. Obviously, they want me at a lower weight, but with my skill set, they can see me in the slot, covering and running.


<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia, 'Droid Serif', serif;color:rgb(51,51,51);">“Like they were saying, the NFL is moving to mostly sub-packages. So I think that’s where the Chargers see me fitting in, a sub-package type of deal where I’m coming in and playing nickel and the safety-type role. They have plans for me. If they draft me, then I think that’s the role I’ll be playing in.”


<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia, 'Droid Serif', serif;color:rgb(51,51,51);">Also in a recent article by Ryan O'Halloran after Jack perfectly covered Minnesota TE in the end zone it's explained that he only had a few opportunities to drop in coverage because of the scheme and the fact that he goes out in nickel situations (opposite of what San Diego wanted to do with him) : 
http://jacksonville.com/jaguars/2016-12-...ortunities

<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia, 'Droid Serif', serif;color:rgb(51,51,51);">In the article Jack explains how much he loves dropping in coverage to cover TE or receivers while at the OTTO position he mainly has to just cover his side for run plays or the flats. 


<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">By Jack words It seems that even he sees himself more as an hybrid safety-LB so considering his speed, athleticism he could definitely fit the position and be a big upgrade to Cyprien(and with his skillset a potential bro bowler at the position for years)

<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">So where do you see him at? Still as the MLB of the future replacing Poz? Still at SAM/OTTO but without having him off the field on obvious passing situations?  or are you open to have him playing the safety position instead of Cyprien? 

<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia, 'Droid Serif', serif;color:rgb(51,51,51);">
