this just makes too much damn sense!

We need all of our defensive backs to be able to play more than one position. First of all it helps them create value in their selves. But if you’re going to play five defensive backs, you want your sixth best defensive back to be the first guy in the game if one of those five guys gets hurt,” Pruitt explained.

“So if you’re left corner and you’ve got a two-deep with 10 guys and if it so happens that your back-up left corner is the 10th best player, it don’t make a whole lot of sense to put the 10th best guy in before you put the sixth, seventh or eighth guy in.

“We want all of our guys to be able to play multiple positions. We teach things by concepts so we’re working a lot of guys there.”
