Both are natural strong safeties and neither have a ton of range like the role of what Reggie Nelson did for us. If you add someone that can play centerfield to this defense, you will see a ton of pressure taken off the CB's.
We don't play a "center field" friendly defense that is what I don't get when people keep saying this. We are a two high defense meaning both safeties are more often than not covering half a field. A Seattle type team that plays a lot of single high man, or cover three, it makes more sense but that's not the scheme we run.
