Posey is 6-1, 206, and can run; he has the tools to cover kicks.

Having the tools and being able to do it are 2 different things.

And when your starting LBs are James and Ruud, I would call that depth issues, as who's behind them picking up ST duties?

I'm not saying he's a ST genius, but its not like we have been a disaster on teams since inception. IMO, ST coaches have a crappy job, as they are given leftovers and held accountable. Of course, its a crappy job I'd love to have.....
