Question:
Will Kramdi be our starting safety this year?
Option 1: Yes
votes: 3
Option 2: No
votes: 9
I know it's a little early fellas , but let's give it a thought, I didn't think it was even a possibility but more I read I'm not sure now. I still voted no mostly because I like him at LB. Techno made a good point about it in the camp thread which I agree with him on, surprise surprise lol.
I voted no but many seem to think it's a strong possibility. As I mentioned in another string, that would be bad for Allen unless he's being considered at CB. Burrell is getting a long look to start there but so did McGhee.
Has anyone notice where Allen is getting reps and with 1st 2nd or 3rd string?

2nd string safety.

Noting that we won't have a 2nd string import at safety as a DI in theory. It creates a similar problem as Ayers only as an ST player. It can be done, but it costs us something somewhere else.

Thinking about this, Allen should initially have a very good shot at starting the season at CB opposite Moxey, especially if he's only competing against rookies. Younger requires all his DB's to understand what's happening for his scheme to work, faking it doesn't fly for long. I think he'll put any rookie on PR time delay for a couple of months before considering making a change.

On the surface that makes sense. In practice is he seeing any reps at CB? Changing the role of Kramdi, Griffin and Allen seems a bit much with 2 new starters on the DL as well.
I am betting 2-1 odds that Allen isn't our starting corner
That said I offered 2 to 1 that Kramdi wouldn't start at safety, which I have now downgraded to 1.5 to 1. Just like the betting sites, my odds are subject to change. If someone else gets reps at starting safety Kramdi's odds will go to 3 to 1 lol.

Griffin probably stays at SAM. I think Allen played CB in pre-season last year, I remember him defending well against a jump ball along the sidelines. I bet he'll play anywhere he's asked to. Is he on ST's?

If Griffin moves to SAM then Kramdi has to move to safety. It would be the only other place he could play. He's too light to play the other LB positions. He's not the best cover guy to be at CB or DHB.
Allen only shows 1 ST but that might not be his primary role when he plays on ST's. I don't really remember seeing him on ST's.
I don't disagree he'll probably play anywhere they ask but we only get to play 12 at a time.

I thought it was a given Kramdi is moving to Safety, accept it man, you're in denial.
No.
