No doubt about it, Jimmie Ward going down with a collarbone injury is both not-surprising and a setback. While he’s out, the San Francisco 49ers are putting someone we didn’t expect in the position. Tarvarus Moore was seen in at free safety and it apparently goes further than standing in for the injured Ward.
It sounds like Moore might just be a better safety than a cornerback. In a recent article by Matt Maiocco, assistant defensive backs coach Daniel Bullocks was excited to have Moore on the safety squad.
