I'm not worried longterm. I am confident that Ron Parker can play FS at a high level, and that the chiefs have enough talented defensive backs and linebackers who could be used as a SS.
Sutton used a lot more safeties because it had depth and was a strength of the team. He could just as easily shift to using more CBs if some of these young dbs pan out.

And that’s not taking away from the base package, the defensive linemen, some of the linebackers. I think that’s why you’re now starting to see some of your conventional inside backers that are now bigger safeties evolving into that package, a la – if you go to Arizona, they have a safety that’s evolved now. And Bob Sutton runs that same scheme as well.”

kinda like how they are using Daniel Sorenson, and possibly what they are envisioning of Justin March who at just under 6' and 227lbs is a little small for a traditional 3-4 ILB.

They understand the passing components of the game, but they're also physical enough where they can stack inside on the running game.
