It's just not going to happen. Taylor's performance level regressed this year, along with every other member of the defensive squad. That is a sign of a deficiency in coaching, not a reduction in his or their abilities to play their respective positions.

When is the last time a safety had the physical abilities of Taylor? I am not suggesting a permanent shift, but it seems that the ability to move players around gives the offense something else to think about. (The Ravens do it pretty well).

I am also thinking that if Archuleta stays, he has to do more than protect the punter. He would be better at FS than SS.

Thomas Davis played LB this year for the Panthers (not very well but he did do it).
