Sometimes it’s difficult to locate New Orleans Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro on the field as everyone is lining up for the next snap.

Look where you think he should be, or where he was on the previous snap, and you might not initially find him. He might be playing deep, lined up in the box or over the slot receiver.

Sometimes, that’s a good thing. Other times, it isn’t.

Versatility is part of what makes Vaccaro special, serving as a chess piece in defensive coordinator Rob Ryan’s complicated and complex schemes. But it also could hinder Vaccaro’s ability to do what he does best: make plays.

“If there’s one guy that has had to play so many multiple positions, it’s been Kenny,” Ryan said. “You know, it’s tough on him. I’ve had him play so many different spots.”

look that is what he did in college. he never was pegged as a turn over machine and in the time with the saints i do not see anything different.

Imo I think once again we are putting a square peg in a round hole. Just like we do with LB. Oh he is fast and quick we have to make him an OLB.

just for once let this guy do what he does best. drive offenses crazy.

I feel like Kenny's one of those guys who thrives when everyone else does their job. He does a great job at open field tackling and blowing up certain plays. With a defined role I think he can get valuable experience and be able to play with his great instincts more. He's a great player overall, but I think if the pass rush can start playing up to gear he will look like a superstar.

“If there’s one guy that has had to play so many multiple positions, it’s been Kenny,” Ryan said. “You know, it’s tough on him. I’ve had him play so many different spots.”

Why not play KV in a single role and let him develop? Remember how the Steelers used a younger Troy Polamula ? He roamed around the line of scrimmage creating havoc. With his Vacarro's instincts, a in the box strong safety is what I think he would excel in.

Raphael can hold his own on the back end. We already have chemistry there from last season.

Rob figured it out vs Tampa.

Kenny looked more fluid, like he was 100% healthy and confident.

Penalties aside, I thought he looked much more comfortable

You mean Kenny is actually playing this year?

Can't say I noticed him to be honest
