That's also irrelevant to my point. My point is that if June is signed and wins a starting job, we better have some formidable run stoppers on his side of the field to make up for his inability to do just that.
The closest I could find from a quick search was a McClain article stating that the safeties were interchangeable in Richard Smith's defense. I know I've heard Kubiak say it interviews because I remember it started a lot of discussion. It doesn't really matter though because we don't know what changes Bush will make beyond the generic "more aggressive" response.

I think the general consensus is the the Texans safeties have generally been interchangeable based on personnel even if it wasn't by design. I though it was relevant to your post because you said that it was unfortunate that the SS generally plays the other side of the field from the WLB as it relates to June (who doesn't look like he's signing anyway) and his deficiencies against the run. I was just pointing out that since we tend to have two safeties who are both better against the run that it really wouldn't matter which side June was lined up on he would have a decent run-support safety behind him.
