Why doesn't the Bama Nickel and Dime use CBs over Safeties

Against LSU and A&M, Bama's secondary was exposed. Vinnie does a great job in run support, but he gets taken advantage of in coverage. Nick Perry has also demonstrated weakness in coverage.
It seems to me that Fulton should take the boundary corner and Milliner should play the star in the Nickel. I believe Bama needs Geno Smith, Brad Sylve or Landon Collins to play the money in the dime.
Bama has to get more speed and athleticism on the field or Murray will eat their lunch. Murray leads the nation in passing efficiency, and I am sure GA is fapping to what Mett and Manziel did against Bama's back end.
Bama's lack of a pass rush exposes the secondary to longer developing routes where DBs have responsibility for more than one receiver. Bama has been getting abused with routes that require the safety to defend the receiver at the boundary behind the CB.

Right now, Fulton/Belue on the outside and Milliner at Star is probably our best bet. Lester/HaHa at Safety is obvious. Perry has shown flashes, and Vinnie is a good blitzer. Neither are gonna be good though when they have to defend from the Money position. Geno Smith and Collins don't have the experience right now though. Had Jarrick Williams not gotten hurt this may not even be a conversation right now. He was all set to play Money and I've always underrated Williams. You don't know what you have until it is gone.

Geno is the STAR for now, though he's had 2 creampuff games so far and no real test.
Sunseri has been moved back to Money, which was expected to be Jarrick Williams' position before he was injured right before the season. Susneri had showed promise at STAR leading up to this year, but he's not quick enough to keep up with slot WRs like a slot CB could.

Fulton played corner and Milliner played Star against A&M. If Fulton is healthy enough, I would think this will be the plan versus UGA. If Fulton isn't healthy enough to go, then it'll likely be Geno at Star. I don't expect to see Vinnie at Star, but we'll likely see him or Perry at Money in dime. I'm much more comfortable with 3 CBs and 3 safeties than 2 CBs and 4 safeties.
