We do not have anyone on the roster that can play the FS as well as LaRon.
A few years ago in preseason Reed Doughty was tried at starting FS but failed. Doughty also played FS in regualr season when ST was injured and he also burned.
But when they started Doughty at SS after Talyor's death Doughty was adequate. That tells you how much more difficult the FS position is to master in the NFL and how much more responsibility that position requires than the SS position.
Why then would move our best safety to SS and start a lesser player at a more important position? That would be like moving Portis to FB.
