Eh... We need a ball hawk back there. Juan Thornhill please and thanks.
I don't understand why this misconception continues. Woods is our free safety. He plays the ballhawk role. If we want to upgrade him, I'm fine with that. However, where we struggled is with the strong safety, run-support role. Heath is also a free safety. He played out of position at strong safety because that's where we needed him after letting Barry Church walk. He was so bad at run support when he took over for Church in 2017 that we actually moved Byron Jones from FS to SS, which was almost as bad and led to us mixing in Kavon Frazier on run downs. Heath was better in run support last year but his deficiencies there still showed.
Ideally, you would want to get a safety who is solid against both the run and pass, but we don't shop the ideal market, we shop the bargain bin.
