CB question

[VolFanInHawaii]

I'm betting we play a lot of nickel packages this year, as the DB's are where the ability and experience lie. We also have some exciting newcomers with Moore and Lanier being our JUCO incomers (along with couch) Give me the RCB, LCB, and Nickel Corner. Also, we'll see plenty of Prentiss Waggner but where does he fit in to this secondary? he seems to be in limbo right now.

I thought that Waggner was sticking to FS.
I could be completely wrong though.

You have a bunch of different scenarios that have played out of fall practice.

1.

cb teague, waggner
ss gordon
fs jackson
wlb/ nickel cb brewer

2.

cb teague, waggner
fs gordon
ss brewer
nickel db jackson

3.

cb teague, waggner
fs jackson
ss brewer
nickel db gordon, moore, coleman.


I think that all of these were ran in practice.

And those aren't really even including Moore.

prob moore and teague, gordon will be the odd man out if coleman continues his surge

 

[volroadwarrior]

It's too fluid to tell at this point. The staff is trying to work in Sapp as a tweener. He could see some PT.

you have to leave Teague in, i think he's our best cover CB

I think scenario three is the most likely. Thing is, we seem to have a lot of versatile players on defense. I think the coaching staff will play around with different combinations during the first two weeks or so then have a definite two deep rotation at all of those positions by the Florida game.

By that time, I think Moore starts at CB or comes off the bench very early. Jackson and Brewer have FS and SS tied up.

I would most bet by the way CDD has been talking lately, that Jackson and Brewer will def be 2 of the starters. That's almost a give me the way he's been going on about them during interviews. The rest is a toss up right now it seems, but one thing is for sure I will bet no matter who the rest will be, these 2 will push the rest to be better every play! We are fortunate enough to have some really great talent to fill in the rest, and give teams alot to think about! GBO!!
