It's one big picture, not just Safety. Yeah, we should be better there - having somebody good to pair with Burnett. Dix looks very good; Hyde looks good too. I'm still not thrilled with Richardson - even against K.C., both against what they started and against their scrubs, he consistently made nice tackles - AFTER the pass was caught by the receiver. Same with Banjo - I wish they could cover.

Anyway, having a better pass rush is bound to make the Safeties at least seem better, as they and the Corners won't have to sustain coverage as long - hopefully. The problem is still gonna be underneath throws, as our ILBs are barely adequate to put it charitably. Having Safeties behind them to prevent underneath throws from becoming big plays should help - all four or five of them seem to not be prone to stupidly being out of position that way - again, hopefully.
