I wouldn't mind seeing more of Sunseri in the starting SS rotation simply because of what is between his ears. I like KVacarro but he seems to be one step behind so far this season. Don't know if he is out of position but playing like a corner is not working.

I think if we just used him as you know, a strong safety with a clear, defined role, he could succeed, but whatever just keep using him to cover up deficiencies in the defense in roles he's not exactly suited for, like linebacker. I mean he does well for what he's used as which is a swiss army knife, but I feel we could do better if we just addressed the problem via FA, trades, or the draft.
