Particularly, I would like to see vacarro play more in the linebacker/nickel back role. For whatever reason he has been terrible playing 10 yards beyond the line of scrimmage this year.

It seems like Vacarro is a better man defender then a zone defender. He also doesn't have great play recognition or awareness. You need them both to be a great zone player. He seems best suited locking up and following his guy.
