I thought about that but Vaccaro's been struggling enough as a full-time strong safety this season and giving him a different set of responsibilities as a free safety might make his head explode Scanners-style. On the other hand, you're right that we drafted him for his versatility in coverage and maybe a change will do him some good.

The bad thing for us is he was playing FS when he blew the coverage and let crabtree catch that 50 yard pass vs 9ers

Time for them all to man up and do their jobs.

Yeah he's much more effective playing press man against slot receivers rather than deep zone. A Cover 2 play call doesn't put Vaccaro in a position where he's particularly effective. We'll bring someone in and just have to figure out who is best in coverage between that person and Ball/Sanford.
