DBs with great instincts can make up for a lack of speed with those instincts. One of the reasons I'm optimistic about Clinton-Dix is the reports say he also has very good instincts. If true that will make up for a lack of straight-line speed. IOW, I prefer a safety whose first step is correct to one with greater speed whose first step isn't. (In an extreme example consider the 40 times of a safety with elite speed who begins the dash taking one step back vs. an average speed safety who doesn't.)Anyway, I'd be comfortable with having Hayward and Clinton-Dix covering Harvin under/over. But not consistently. IMO the NFL offenses are too complex and capable of taking advantage of a defense that uses the same coverage, even on just one receiver, for an entire game.</blockquote>
