Are safeties still good in the box as sub linebackers? Or pure linebackers are better?
I Have Warner and Chenal right now, but i would put some safeties there
Mainly scheme dependent. But for me, I make sure the subLB safeties I play in the box are run supporters, otherwise they won’t be able to shed any blocks on run plays and you get torch constantly. Jabrill peppers, Reshad Jones, and Darwin are the best in those spots imo since they'll be able to cover and run support. They play great for me in my big nickel and 4-3 defense.
