Tony Jefferson vs DJ Swearinger - Position Switch

Seems like the injury to Tyvon Branch in week 4 has changed the Arizona defense. Tony Jefferson is playing deeper and DJ Swearinger is playing closer to the LOS now and is playing close to 100% of snaps. Jefferson is getting less tackle opportunities. Can anyone confirm?
Stats-wise anyway, it seems like the 2 players have switched since the Branch injury.

Re: Tony Jefferson vs DJ Swearinger - Position Switch

You are correct, DJ cant cover fat albert running a streak. T Jeff was as highly touted CB coming out of HS, injuries slowed him and he turned into the safety you see now, hes a better cover guy so anytime DJ or him has to cover, the AZ D tries making sure its T Jeff.I wouldn't drop T Jeff.... the Jets game was bad, but the game before he still had 7 total tackles. In general AZ has a lot of guys who get to ball so there is going to be some up and down at times with any of them( Deone, Ty, Jeff and DJ)
