Which one is the third in the 3 safety sets? Think we'll go with Harper, Jenkins, or will we get someone through the draft or free agency?

It was Harper, Jenkins, Vaccaro... With Vaccaro on IR it has been Harper, Jenkins, Rapheal Bush

Well Harper missed most of the season with injury and was brought back slowly so I'm not sure if snap count tells us much.

We also played some 4 safety sets in our dime package with KV, RH, MJ and RB.

Vaccaro also played NB, SS and FS.

Every safety we have was injured at some point and missed games.

I like Bush and Vaccaro as a tandem, but Harper has some specialty roles he fits in well. Personally I think Jenkins is more of a liability than Harper. I just bash Harper as much as I can for you Danno

Bush was still playing quite a bit even before Harper got hurt though. He played 22 snaps in week 1. I think that our brilliant DC recognized that he's a pretty good player a long time before any of us did.
