I believe that Byrd will play a lot of high safety here......freeing up other players. That is how he was used last year. He is really going to give us a Darren Sharper type of impact in the secondary.
Sharper was the catalyst in '09 that brought us home a Superbowl.

Absolutely. Byrd is almost strictly a single high free safety. Vaccaro will move around though from a Cover 2 deep strong safety to an in-the-box strong safety ala Roman Harper. Mix in Bush when it comes to 3 safety looks and all bets are off when it comes to traditional safety designations.
