With the amount of injuries we've had at DB the idea we can't get our possible 1st round saftey on the field is frankly comical.
+ keep in mind Tae has played corner. If we end up with Miami again, he can absolutely be the guy who goes nickel on Toney or their bunched sets while Moore erases the other side of the field. In which case you're keeping Talich on which is ideal.

We have Moore, Sanders, Gray, Tae, Talich and Shuler. And maybe McKinney back for the playoffs? That's six or seven good and experienced DBs for four-to-five positions - with Tae and Gray having at least some positional flexibility.
Feels like should be able to figure it out in a way that doesn't require Mark Zackery to cover a very good WR in a playoff game.

Is there actually any legit smoke to the Tae sitting out for the draft rumors? Or do we expect him back this season (SMU or CFP)? Freeman's comments at the last press conference didn't seem to indicate Tae won't be back this year, more that he'll be back and the D will figure out who the best on the field are.

Both pods (ISD and Irish Illustrated) agree Tae is so close to being back they'd be surprised if he's not suited up against SMU.

Separate but related, II's podcast yesterday said they're finally hearing unofficial word that the team does expect Tae, both DTs, and Mickinney back for playoff game 1. This is most noteworthy for Mickinney obviously.

ISD still assumes he's dead, but II is hearing good things for playoffs.

ISD would complain about a threesome with Gal Gadot and Ana deArmas.
