Honestly, I think they expect P-Rob to win the job anyway and Bailey is probably set as the nickel/slot guy. I don't think that reflects poorly on Corey White, we just have a very strong group of corners. |

According to Payton, White hasn't lined up at safety and is not a safety in this defense

Re: Which players are on the bubble?
It is true that we used corners lined up pretty far back last year. I think part of Ryan's defense is disguising the coverage so that the offense doesn't really know who is coming up on the ball and who is hanging back. White, Bush and Vacarro are all guys who can play just about anywhere on the field and play any role on a given down.
