You can have him in underneath coverage as a 3rd safety on the field - again, where Sorensen was valuable.
You just can't have the guy out there in single high.
I think there may be some belief here that people are advocating for Collins as a pure SS w/ Thornhill as a FS - I'm not. I don't believe in the distinction anymore. Both of your safeties need to be interchangeable in that they're both capable of covering and willing (if not exceptional) tacklers.
I simply put very little value in SSs anymore. Where that kind of player IS valuable is in heavy nickel formations on 1st and 2nd downs. In a 4-2-5 sort of alignment, Landon Collins could still be very valuable and very useful to this team.
