This defense is severely lacking in playmakers, especially in the secondary, but I just don't understand why we have Cisco on the bench behind Wingard...

We know what Wingard is, a perennial special teams gunner, but seeing him play the deep safety position just doesn't make sense. The guy doesn't possess the necessary skills/athleticism to protect the field as literally the last line of defense - with more examples mounting against him in the other thread.

I'd rather take the growing pains of starting a rookie with Cisco, knowing that he at least has the ability to cover sideline-to-sideline and takes those chances.

Coming from a 1-15 season, we all know this team is bad overall, so we might as well play our "talented" rookies to gain valuable experience and go through the motions of this season together.
