im not talking about a specific player. just literally about the diff in what you look for athletically in Corners and Safeties. Putting your least athletic guys at Safety is just stupid. Maybe if they're very intelligent they can make up for their lack of athleticism though.
I'm pretty sure you are wrong..all of them played Safety.
Tip: In a 4-2-5...the extra DB is a safety, not a cb.
I'm referring to moving from cb to Saftey while at Miami...not the NFL.
and Bennie didn't play cb either
I can respect that.

tbh im confused who you guys are arguing about putting at CB and Safety.
I trust Rumphs decision more than yalls though, so idgaf. Plus its about where they can help the team most. If we have only 1 stud CB, and 3 stud Safeties, sorry bruh, Gil or Blades better contribute at CB..or vice versa

Antrel Rolle is an obvious one.
Played CB here and started there in the pros before moving to safety and becoming an all-pro a couple years anyway.
Rumph did the same thing - I think he moved to safety even sooner in the NFL. Wasn't quite as successful as Rolle from what I recall (in the NFL).

You didnt say that at all. And actually yes bennie defintely startedbout playing corner as well. Burgess wouldve been another one who played cb as well. And his was specifically in college
I do get what you're saying but I've had the privilege of meeting Rumph numerous times when he's come by our school to recruit a few of our players. He knows the admin guy with the diehard CANE office and always stops by. He is great with our boys and they love him. I think the issue is more to do with current attention seeking generation and of course the bag game. Which we don't have. Rumph is not the problem, but that is only my worthless opinion.
I do however see your point.
I agree 100%, back when I did filming on staff for clewiston high school, our top WR Reggie Henderson was being recruited by Miami and we played University school. Blades was the corner covering him the entire game. I knew canes were recruiting both at the time and actually was hoping to see Blades Lock our boy down given the namesake of one of my all time favorites. But surprisingly, Blades got owned the entire game. He was torched for at least 2 tds that game. I was very conflicted to say the least. In all seriousness, when I came away from the game, my opinion was that Blades would make a far better safety. But I'm no secondary expert. What do I know?

You won't say that to his face
I have no idea who you are? Did you post under another name?
In a traditional nickel as opposed to a 4-2-5 with a "rover" or bandit type...which we are in a lot as well... and which is obv very similar to a 4-2-5, it's obv more often than not 3 corners....So I guess you think Bandy is a safety as well?

I fully get where you are coming from but I think you may have misunderstood my post to a degree.
I completely agree that UM must get to a place where we are keeping most of the pick of the litter at home. I understand and fully appreciate the gravity of the misses we endured last cycle. I was as disappointed as anyone. In fact I was furious. My point however is that we are on an upward trajectory in terms of our desirability to elite recruits. Yes we missed on Campbell and Surtain but we did land Ivey, Frierson, Hall, Blades etc and are in a very good position for prospects like Stevenson, Richards, Battle and whoever else. After that we have a commitment from Henry Gray and are in very good position with Fred Davis.
Obviously none of the kids listed are a sure thing but we are at or near the top with all of them. This team will only continue to get better and when we finally find our QB of the near future we will be scoring points like it's XBOX. Yeah it sucked getting rejected by those kids last year and the year before with Henderson and the rest but we have no reason to believe that things will remain the same in that regard. Look, to use an old school analogy, you can't get laid if you dont get a number or two and the more numbers you get the higher the probability of getting some. Well, this program is getting tons of numbers. Sooner or later we're going to be *******!
You don't care about my opinion yet you're still here asking me questions
This is for free: Bandy played a safety position "in name" last season IF IF IF Manny was calling it a 4-2-5 defense. Why? Bc in a traditional 4-2-5. Outside of the corners, the remaining DB positions are called Free Safety, Weak Safety, and Strong Safety...this is terminology from the man that essentially invented/perfected the 4-2-5(Gary Patterson), some DC's call it Rover/Bandit/Bull/Hulk/Superman...depends on the DC. If Manny was calling it a nickel defense then Bandy was the nickel..a nickel can be either a safety or a cb. Just depends on the terminology.
Now of course your pre-school equivalent knowledge of football would say the position he's listed at on the roster (CB) is the position he's played last season but I expect that from you.
Next time I'm charging...

You be doing the most on this board I swear...get a grip. I'm clearing talking about while at the University of Miami.
You think I don't know HOF's Ronnie Lott, Rod Woodson, and Charles Woodson all went from all pro cb to all pro safety and played it at a high level in the NFL? Really? You think I'm asking that? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!! It just shows your level of comprehension.
and I don't care what was allegedly told to you. Currently, I can talk to him any day of the week and I do know what was told to me a mere 2 weeks ago.
