I'm very curious about our safeties. From what I've read, I expect Blackmon, Willis, and McLeod to be on the field together a lot. That likely puts Willis in the box and less time deep which I think is better for him.

Ngakoe would almost undoubtedly get more snaps than Dayo even if Dayo was the de-facto starter.
Yeah, it will be some combo of 3 safeties and 3 CB's depending on down, distance and tendencies.
BTW, I was wrong earlier in another thread, calling one of Bradley's primary coverage's cover 4. It is actually quarters, which upon further research is a little different than than cover 4.
Cover 4 is more of a bail technique, where all 4 cover guys are bailing to slightly deeper zones, where as quarters is more of a match up zone, where all 4 coverage guys have 2 way read on a single receiver. Depending on whether or not the receiver makes an in breaking cut or an out breaking cut, the defender will either switch to the next closest receiver or stick to his primary read.
I kinda like this concept. It certainly beats the hell out of Bradley's now ancient cover 3, which leaves too many open holes for QB's to exploit. I hope that he runs very little cover 3.
