I've been saying this for the last couple of years, but it bears repeating.
People are WAY too hung up on positions and what they think are 'prototypes' for those positions.
When Spags ruined Brady and Co.'s perfect season in that super bowl, he moved everyone on the line around all over the place.
In the same way that Matthieu is not really a 'safety', neither does it matter what you want to call Chris Jones when he's not lined up as a typical DT.
Just like we don't really utilize a prototypical slot receiver on offense.
Doesn't matter.
It's about putting guys with unique talents in position to use those abilities.
Don't worry about it. These guys know what they're doing.
