I think Matt Elam has the potentials to be a solid strong safety. I think his tackling issues stem from him always trying to go for the big play/big hit. He had his problems in coverage but were moments where his coverage skills were good . He definitely was better in his rookie year and maybe just maybe losing Teryl Austin was a factor towards second year slump. Pees definitely had the guy doing alot last season from playing free safety, strong safety,nickle corner, and etc.
