Leon has played a lot of nickle CB over the years. This isn't his first rodeo in the role. He's playing the same position he's been great at. He just happened to have 1 medium season last year after a couple bad injuries.
Let's stop pretending they switched his position because they felt he was a liability.
This. People are down on Hall because he had a season that was less than what we were used to out of him. He had a down year, but it is not indicative of a larger problem. If he has another down year this season, I'll be a bit worried, but I won't just assume that it will happen.
Leon's big strength has been as a nickel CB for a while now. The nickel CB is more of a "3rd starter" now anyway, they just play more often on a slot-style receiver. Over the last 4 seasons, he's top 5 in yards allowed per target in the entire league. The guy is great, and rumors of his demise have been greatly exaggerated.
