The only way i can see it possible at all of House playing a lot even if Woodson, Tramon, and Shields are still healthy is Woodson being shifted to safety and i just don't see that happening unless maybe Collins replacement/replacement were dreadful over a multi-game stretch.
To put Woodson, Tramon, Shields, House, and Burnett on the field a lot, one of those first four would have to play safety with Burnett and Woodson is the only one Capers could consider. Playing Charles though at safety instead of corner, that not only removes his really good slot coverage skills, it would mostly take him away from playing on the slot area of the line of scrimmage where he's excelled blitzing and doing various other things. At safety, he'd be spending most of his snaps 5-15 yards off the line of scrimmage, not something i see Capers wanting.
Definitely see what you're saying here. I guess what I'm expecting is that Capers' creativity could bridge the gap between the apparent reality that only one of those guys is technically a safety and my idea. I don't know what it would look like, but Capers doesn't tie himself to convention. Ultimately, though, he does have to match up with what the offense shows him. I guess I just see a lot of guys who can both cover and tackle (granted, a couple who can only do one or the other), and figure that Capers can put them in the right spots.
One possible scenario could be Burnett back in a cover one with Woodson, Shields, Williams and House all in coverage. Obviously all of this is moot unless/until House forces himself into consideration, which is never going to happen if he can't stay healthy, so that's step one.
