First off... OMG just 1 week to go before our first preseason game... with that out of the way, do you think we will see Jones play more at safety or CB? What I have heard we have been playing him in both spots throughout training camp, and with Patmon and White impressing and Mo healthy for now... it seem to make more sense to have him at FS to start the year considering we lack depth there (and I would say we lack a single true FS as both Wilcox and Church are to me close to SS than FS). While he is no doubt better than what we have at NB, I don't see him challenging Scandy or Carr for CB THIS YEAR, so yea, FS seem like the more logical choice to anyone else?

He will play corner but I would not be surprised if he plays a couple downs of safety

IMO he is your FS. I don't think he can be a great corner. He's not smooth out of his breaks in his backpedal. His change of direction isnt as fluid as you would imagine an athlete of his caliber. I watched his college tape and he had a tendency to slip and fall coming out of his breaks. I want him as a center fielder type safety with range and leaping ability to go get that ball. I want him to be able to read the field and play free back there. Not to say he can't be a good corner too. Just think FS is more of a natural fit for him.
