The San Francisco 49ers have been kind of a mess at the safety position, despite having three guys that I think we could all largely agree are above average. Jimmie Ward, Eric Reid and Jaquiski Tartt have all looked great at times, but the 49ers have had to deal with injuries and the desire to get all three players on the field at once.
That desire culminated in the team switching Reid from strong safety to weakside linebacker, promoting Tartt to starter at the former position while Ward had free safety locked down.
