Corey White the free safety?

I thought the draft scouts had him projected at strong safety/cb not free safety. But atleast he wont have to worry about turning his head looking for the ball.

I trust the coaches over anyone here who is screaming "gonna be painful to watch"...

They have seen him in practice at safety and if they feel he can do it, then let him do it.

Yes, I agree. White at corner was a epic failure.

White played very well at a quasi-safety spot in preseason. He was still listed as a CB but the way he was lined up was more like the way we used Jenkins at times last year. I think this is a good idea. He always plays better with the ball in front of him anyway.

I know people are down on him right now but I still like him. Maybe not as a #2 corner anymore, but he plays hard, hits hard and has a nose for the ball. Those are really good qualities to have in a nickel/dime DB.
