No, keep it the way it is. Carter, Wilbur , Hitchens start.
Church is not a "biscuit away from a LB'er" in Parcells speak...

Bc I asked a question that I've heard others mention that means I'm an idiot? Church isn't that great at safety, infact I've seen numerous mention we aren't set at safety.... Church is best at the los, barely average in coverage, but better than an actual lb, could be used like a spur in south Carolina defense... Again this is forum for cowboys fans , not experts... or else we wouldn't be on a fan forum.... Yes I was a lil butt hurt lol

different responsibilities for SS vs. WIL linebacker. Just because he is a little bigger, doesn't mean he can succeed. he is a safety.

When he comes up to the LOS, you are forgetting that LBers are already in the box, and he can usually navigate through traffic.

He wouldn't have that protection as a LBer.

Also, there are completely different positions with different responsibilities.

We have enough problems at safety right now. Removing the best we have only makes it worse.

It's just not possible. He's about 20lbs light for the position and there is no depth behind him. Even if you add 20lbs, what are the chances he retains the agility/speed/endurance that he currently has that made him lead in tackles last season? Just because others have mentioned it, doesn't make it a good idea. For the record, no one said you were an idiot. I can see where the "idea" comes from if that helps. People used to say the same about Roy Williams. They are very different positions.
