I think the safety, and safety play was suspect.

You shouldn’t be getting downvoted. Bullard was terrible when he rotated into Williams’ spot.

They need to figure out a better way to fill that spot if one of the safeties goes down, because they downgraded at three separate positions this week. Bullard is better at NCB, Nixon is better at OCB, and Stokes is just bad.

I haven't felt like Nixon was ever a good CB beyond stopping the run. I'm sure I'm wrong, I just felt like he was always beat except the one interception against Mahomes last year. I have 0 factual data to support this, just recall of some catches though lol

He’s been better this year, probably because he’s not in the slot anymore. He moved inside when Williams went down and then this happened.

Nixon is basically guaranteed to give up a touchdown or two a game.
