People need to accept that Korliss just wasn't a good safety at all. Just think about it. We were pretty terrible at safety last year and he never sniffed the field despite that being his primary position. We were pretty great at RB last year and yet he saw the field made an impact despite only being moved there halfway through the season and it still being his secondary position. If he was good at safety he never would have moved. It takes a lot more than just freak athleticism. Just look at former 5* safety, now RB Karlos Williams at FSU.

This is true, and I used to be in the "let's move Marshall to safety" camp. The fact that he didn't sniff the field as a safety last year when we were horrendous and thin at that position coupled with the fact that they haven't tinkered with switching him to defense this year despite his fumbling tells me that he might just not be a good fit for defense.

I'm holding out hope that he can get a grip on his fumbling (pun intended) and start getting meaningful offensive snaps.
