Gee, I wonder why Reggie Nelson isn't playing CB for the Jags?
Earl Thomas may be a poor tackler, but if he collect 10 INTs and we have Pollard on the field, he may not have to be a great tackler. In fact, if it keeps him healthy, I might prefer he not throw himself around like Troy P. and Bob Sanders. I think both of those guys are great, but have cost their teams in terms of not making good 'business decisions' and getting hurt.
I would disagree with Mayock that Thomas is the better FS in this draft over Eric Berry, but in terms of making sure we don't get beat deep on passes over the CB's head, Thomas would make an impact. I suppose you could call him the new "Cover Safety" that teams need in a pass-happy league.
