ClayHOST
That's kind of – I think when the signing was first announced, that was my question.
ClayHOST
I was like, Kenny, do you think he can play some safety? Because, yeah, Marcus Epps didn't look great last week.
TerrellHOST
I've also never seen him play, so I can't, like –
DawsonHOST
Neither of – I'm in the same position as Vic.
Deniz SelmanPANELIST
This year, it happened once against Washington, and it happened six times against Tennessee.
Deniz SelmanPANELIST
He's done that rotation, so this is a form of cover three, but the rotation involved the safety, whether it be Marcus Epps or Dre' Mountain, rotating to the side with Cooper DeJean.
Brandon Lee GowtonGUEST
Mm.
Deniz SelmanPANELIST
And what that does, regardless if he rotates to the flat or he buzzes down to the middle and Cooper DeJean goes out to the flat, either way you end up with two linebackers on one side of the field, and then you end up with two D-backs on the other side.
Brandon Lee GowtonGUEST
Mm
Deniz SelmanPANELIST
...
Deniz SelmanPANELIST
Reek Woolen, has to take one of them, and then Marcus Epps is the post safety.
Deniz SelmanPANELIST
He has to wait in case that ends up being a vertical route.
Mike GillHOST
So, you know, obviously we'll see if they look at him as a safety.
Mike GillHOST
Do they look at him as a nickel guy? And, you know, I know a lot of people just think Marcus Epps seemingly is the guy that would be the odd man out here.
Mike GillHOST
Do you look at Epps and saying that, hey, he struggled?
Andrew DiCeccoGUEST
He didn't have a good week, too.
Andrew DiCeccoGUEST
I thought that there were moments in week one where he showed that he can be a really competent run defender.
Andrew DiCeccoGUEST
He got hurt for a little bit, came back in, and I don't think he was overly exposed in week one, but he was caught flat-footed a couple times, took some bad angles in the run game as well.
Andrew DiCeccoGUEST
So for a veteran player, you would like to see that cleaned up a little bit, but Vic Fangio really likes and trusts Marcus Epps.
Andrew DiCeccoGUEST
There's a confidence level there.
Andrew DiCeccoHOST
Nothing overly extreme or anything like that, but something that obviously bears watching.
Andrew DiCeccoHOST
The Eagles have Marcus Epps.
Andrew DiCeccoHOST
They have Michael Carter.
Andrew DiCeccoHOST
Cooper DeGene plays safety and base here.
Andrew DiCeccoGUEST
I think Jihad will learn that in time, but there are certain pieces there.
Andrew DiCeccoGUEST
Vic Fangio talked about Marcus Epps having some plays he'd like to have back in pass coverage and in run support.
Andrew DiCeccoGUEST
I thought he took some bad angles there as well.
Andrew DiCeccoGUEST
So there are certain areas to clean up, and I don't know that you can just point to one thing, but Jalen Carter, Vic Fangio said that he thought that he did pretty well, all things considered, with the wrist injury.
Jared NewlandHOST
Yeah.
Jared NewlandHOST
Marcus Epps.
Jared NewlandHOST
Yes, he was a walk-on.
Cody TuckerHOST
Sean Gibson, Wingard.
James SeltzerHOST
But just the move itself when we saw it, you know, it's an interesting one because I don't think we were kind of thinking about it.
James SeltzerHOST
I know Marcus Epps did not play well.
James SeltzerHOST
There have been questions about the safety thing, the Cooper gene and base, all that stuff.
James SeltzerHOST
What did you make of the news when you first saw it? And I know you did the pod, but like you're...
Eliot Shorr-ParksHOST
I think within three weeks, he'll probably be on the active roster, and he'll be out on the field.
Eliot Shorr-ParksHOST
So we'll see what he can do at safety.
Eliot Shorr-ParksHOST
Marcus Epps has not been good, as you said.
Eliot Shorr-ParksHOST
So I think there is a clear path.
Eliot Shorr-ParksHOST
You hear the way Nick talks about him.
Eliot Shorr-ParksHOST
Think about the need at safety potential with Marcus Epps not playing his best with what Kenny Moore has done.
Eliot Shorr-ParksHOST
Obviously, he needs to learn the position.
Eliot Shorr-ParksHOST
That could be tough to do.
James SeltzerHOST
Like you hear the way Nick talks about him.
James SeltzerHOST
Think about the need at safety potential with Marcus Epps not playing his best with what Kenny Moore has done.
James SeltzerHOST
Obviously needs to learn the position.
James SeltzerHOST
That could be tough to do.
Jeff McLeanHOST
He still wants him at slot corner.
Jeff McLeanHOST
Now, the reason why this is becoming a topic is because Marcus Epps has struggled at safety in these first two games of the season, very much so against the Titans.
Jeff McLeanHOST
But Vic Fangio gave a vote of confidence to Epps this past week and said, you know, I think he's going to bounce back.
Jeff McLeanHOST
If there's one move that I could see happening is perhaps more of Michael Carter playing at safety to offset Epps occasionally at times.
