Well tbh there is every reason to be concerned. It is a desperation move. And we know that outside of Fuller we've had some piss poor safety play. Both Rapp and Scott overdo their cushion on some routes, are late breaking underneath on others, and generally not in good position given the route combinations. Weddle is not going to fix that shit and he's an old run-down guy who doesn't like to tackle on top of those things.
The only silver lining in all this is that in 2019 we had JJ playing the deep role and Weddle wasn't up to snuff coming up making tackles. This time around he's probably going to be the deep safety on passing downs if they adjust to Cover 3 or 1 post-snap and if the call is quarters he'll just work with Ramsey (my guess) to ensure that side is aligned properly and do his best to ensure the other side gets the right call/alignment. Getting guys lined up right is one thing Weddle will do well.
If the midget gets time or is allowed to run around outside the pocket we're gonna give up some points. If we're going to win this game we're gonna need the defensive front to dictate.
What will be telling too is Weddle's snap count. I presume it will be very high because Scott and Burgess are underwhelming as F. But they might just use him in packages where Reeder comes off. It's gonna be an interesting game. I think it's either gonna be a blowout win for us or a shootout.
