All I know is Eddie Jackson is NOT the answer at CB if Samuel leaves. Scary!
Didn't we just draft Meriweather for that?If Rodney retires
Assuming he goes yes. But there should be plenty of DB talent to pick from. Remember Asante was a 4th round selection.and we lose Asante to FA we will need DB help.
We need some speed and youth at LB as well and a pass rusher would be nice.

As far as lining up goes, everything that happens BEFORE the ball is snapped is scheme related.
However I promise you, BB does not have anything in his schemes that allows Curtis to run a 20 yard button hook on Hobbs and be wide open.
Throughout the entire game, Hobbs rarely closed the pre snap gap on the Eagles WRs, he allowed them to turn it up or inside all night for big yards.
Maybe Hobbs expected inside help or maybe Hobbs was over protecting the deep route, either way the Eagles chewed on him all night.
And I do not want it to seem like I am picking on Hobbs because our safeties did not have a particularily great game defending the pass either. (Although part of that I attribute to Westbrook being their first responsibility.)
The scheme for the Eagles game was to take away Westbrok and force Feely to make enough big plays in the passing game to beat the Pats. And while Feely came close, he also threw 3 big picks that choked the Eagles.
