It kinda does. He has the skill set for it. And they are still going after cbs. It probably all depends on who they land

It’s his money year. The kid has played on the outside his entire career and been **** good at it. Why the fvck would we try to move him to Nickel? I’d bet that he would have no interest in that either.

How we know that wasn’t discussed before he committed? Somebody has to play nickel with all these cbs they trying to bring in

The bigger question here is whose doing the evaluations for a room that is a necessity to fix next year if we're turning over the entire defensive staff? Is Mario doing that? Analysts?

I trust Mario to identify talent in the trenches, both sides. I don't know if I would trust anyone outside of the new position coach or coordinator to make these decisions.

Didn't know that. That's interesting. Oh, it was an instant classic. Schmitt's. Just typing it literally makes me LOL.

Yeah, I first got into Van Halen with VH II (Beautiful Girls and Dance the Night Away). I was 10 years old, VH II was a bit brighter and less dark than VH I and Women & Children First.

So when I first saw that commercial and the riff to Beautiful Girls came on (and considering it was an ad for *** beer), I just laughed my *** off. If you watch it today, they put some soundalike music on the ad which SUCKS compared to the genius of Edward Van Halen.

Here’s what I’ll say on this one:

I haven’t seen Karnley play a game, just like 98% of the people in this thread. And I certainly haven’t seen the coach’s tape. Those that have rate Karnley highly (he’s the #6 CB in the Portal), but that’s only their opinion.

Let’s watch the guy play extended snaps at Miami before we start a narrative. The negative, uninformed BS doesn’t do anyone any good.

DJ Ivey is a perfect example. He had a bad mental mistake against Georgia Tech and the narrative began that he stunk. He heard the noise, his confidence sank, and it began to affect his performance.

I saw him on Greentree and said he was an NFL corner. People treated me like I was insane. They said he wasn’t even FBS. Of course, he is now an NFL corner.

The coaches and Ivey himself deserve blame for him not performing to his talent at Miami. But the noise didn’t help, and it was especially unfair to a kid who worked harder than anyone and loved the Canes.

I don’t know if Karnley will follow in Ivey’s footsteps as an NFL corner. But I sure don’t want a repeat of that experience. Let’s watch the guy actually play extended snaps before telling the story of his career.

This is about as disingenuous as it gets. Calling Ivey an NFL corner negates his entire Miami tenure. Would have been a lot better to stop after 2nd paragraph the rest is just rat poison.

... I'm just seeing if Karnley being DB # 4 or 5 would be good enough for CIS to stop with the "staff has learned nothing" rhetoric you finished your post with...

Again, if he’s not being brought in to start, why not? Let’em battle and build depth. I’m not obtuse so I know turning over our DB room doesn’t require all AA’s. OJ tells you that…

Edit: I went back over your post again and in regards to my “rhetoric” based upon the staff’s previous portal DB signings where am I wrong? At the time of my initial post, Karnley was who I specifically spoke about not the potential DB room that he’d be a part of. I believe the staff is doing a wonderful job with the “DB room” as a whole. Does that scratch the itch you have for thread debates?
