Bye week.

He is a natural OLB/strong safety.  Problem is, they keep experimenting and not leaving him in place.  I feel like he’s wasted here

Wasted -- TRUE.  And it's a shame.

I would contend though, that he is indeed a natural Strong Safety, but He would be a lot more effective as an ILB than a OLB. He's just not big enough to take on 300+ pound O-linemen off the edge. (IMO..) --- Actually, probably not big enough to play inside either, although his coverage skills would probably be better there, utilized in drop back coverage. He's proven he can handle the tackling up close, but he can't push those 300 pounders around. Strong Safety is where he belongs.
