Didn't Ashley Ambrose and Ray Buchanan make that move? It put a few extra years onto their careers... as did Aneas Williams...

 

[whodat'02]

Rod Woodson also made the move to safety.

There isn't any CB who has played his whole career at CB, who has successfully converted to safety.

Rod Woodson disagrees.

Rod Woodson disagrees.

A guy like that comes along every 10 years or so. BTW, he was going to be the Saints pick in 88' but the Stealers got to him before we did. We took ironhead as a second choice. He came from pitt.

Rod Woodson disagrees.

I'd agree with that due to him being selected to the pro bowl twice at both positions.

But like the guy above me said, it's very rare and that was my point.

MM isn't a Rod Woodson.

Edit:The rest of these dudes being named didn't convert 'successfully'.

 

[basilisk]

my personal belief is that mm would be a probowl safety... he can cover, he can run support, he can lay the wood... and he's getting older... that coupled with potential lingering injury effects would make happy to see him try it out

 

[CargoJon]

MM on one leg playing safety is still better than Bullocks, no?

 

[Danneaux]

Some other CB's who converted to safety, or play both...
Aeneas Williams
Jason Sehorn
Rod Woodson
Terrance Shaw.
Rashean Mathis
Shane Walton
Corey Chavous
Dwight Smith
Gary Baxter
Corey Harris
Antwan Harris
Kevin Kaesviharn
Mark Roman
Antuan Edwards
Bhawoh Jue
Ryan McNeil

Dwight Smith and Tavaris Jackson of the Bucs had successful transitions from CB to Safety. Mckenzie hits like a safety, great coverage skills. If he is a step slower due to his knee, I say give it a shot.

I think you are thinking of Tanard Jackson. He played cornerback at Syracuse, and then he went to the Bucs and became their starting safety. He had a pretty good year.

He is our best corner, and makes corner money, why move him to safety, we need corners bad.

Um, yeah, Tavaris Jackson is the starting QB of the Minnesota Vikings...

nobody's saying not to let him compete at corner, hell why not? what's this fascination with money, anyway? i've read the same thing as a problem for switching grant inside and brown to RT... they're making what they're making, that's all there is to it, so why not play them where they best help the team? that should be the discussion, how to improve the team, not "we can't play brown at RT, he makes LT money" or "mm makes CB money, we can't move him to safety"... bull
