If you want your safety deep, over the top, I think you want a rangey guy and fast decision-maker back there. I have the feeling Rasul is the latter, but not so much the former.

So what does that mean for him?
I'd agree that Douglas would be better as a deep safety. So play him there, and put Savage in the slot, and let one of the Moore/Owens/Ford group take the other safety spot. Or something.

It's like the offensive line - you want your five best out there, and if that means one of your five best has to learn a new position, then so be it.
