It's a passing league and a poor coverage LB (on a brand new team) doesn't cover as well as the average Safety.
Yeah they could put in Goodson, but then the Eagles might have a field day throwing to their TEs getting a clear mismatch, and you could be yelling why did Pettine out another Safety on him, instead of a poor coverage LB?
Either way there is gonna be a mismatch (and Doug Peterson is one of the best play callers at exploding these mismatches), you got to pick the one that you feel better suits your team and when it doesn't work, deal with the fans questioning you on why you didn't choose the other mismatch that you thought would be worse.
