I'm not in love with this, but I'll reserve judgment about Barrett. Jackson is underrated. And plays with exactly the sort of physicality that some other players have lacked. But as Jville noted, the remaining guys probably are more naturally suited to man coverage.
It feels a bit desperate, and Patty O' seems like a longer and more explosive version of a similar player. I know Barrett is one of Jay Harbaugh's guys (and was with Mcdodald for a year).
I suspect they think he's an instant special teams badass. And the new kickoff thing is going to cause some aches and pains this year.
