So you named three corners and a safety.. then said another safety, Abernathy, at nickel corner? so you want gaulden at safety? because hes long? (I guess he did come in as safety) Im having trouble visualizing what you are saying.

CB1: martin
CB2: Baylen / osbourne
NB: gaulden
FS: Abernathy all day. I don't even get the discussion of leaving him out (our best DB by far)
SS: Todd Kelly

Nigel is a very good player and will se the field a lot this year but to the people that say he should start over a senior in tk and over our best db last year in Abernathy just doesn't make sense to me..

TKjr has regressed. He was a weak link on the defense last year because of his lack of speed and athleticism.

I love his instincts but we need better athletes on defense if we want to compete for championships.

Poor ole TKjr sure has regressed. Never mind the fact that he essentially sealed the FL game for us when he intercepted Apple in the 4th.

I don't think he has regressed... he just doesn't have the capability that Warrior does.... no way I play TKjr over Warrior... but that doesn't mean I won't get TKjr on the field often....

One of your most insane post ever and that's saying something.

Nigel Warrior should start over TKjr now that he's learned the playbook.

Simply a better athlete. We desperately need to get more athletic on the back end.

This is insanity. Todd Kelly Jr. is a former consensus top-100 recruit with 150 tackles and 8 interceptions in three years. By comparison, that's more production in each of those categories than Jamal Adams, Malik Hooker and Jabril Peppers, all of whom are projected first round draft picks at safety.

TK Jr. may not have elite speed, but he doesn't need it at SS where his tackling and ballhawking skills are more important. Skills aside, he's also arguably the most intelligent, experienced and vocal leader on the defense. There's a reason why ordinary athletes like John Lynch and Rodney Harrison played safety at a high level for decades in the NFL.

Nothing against Warrior, but you people are delusional if you think TK will or should be benched for any unproven underclassmen. The new guy's grass is always greener, until it isn't.

To be honest I would like to see TK move to linebacker or star position and have a more athletic safety tandem in having Evan Berry at FS and Nigel Warrior at SS .

Another spring All American. I want to see this spring All American performance actually translate to when it counts

I agree that Warrior should see a lot of time in the secondary, but I wouldn't bench TKjr just yet. Kid has 8 picks in 3 years and he's a veteran in our system. I think safety will be a revolving door of 4-5 guys who can all play at the SEC level.

Warrior will make his fair share of plays this year if he stays healthy. I also think Evan Berry will get some centerfield reps back there in 3rd and long situations. With that said I think you gotta open the season with the experienced guy. We know what we're getting with Kelly, he's solid. The coaches will ease Nigel into the game plan in time for some of our bigger SEC matchups.

TK's dad was a force on the DL. TK jr could make one hell of a linebacker.

LOL. Still flailing.

I started the Nigel Warrior thread. I know how good he is. Don't need you to tell me.

Keep swinging though. You'll figure this out eventually.

Hey I know a program hiring DB coaches that pays 1,000-5,000 per day.

Let me know if interested.
