How Safety position may look next year!

[bigpurk45]

JR-Jenkins, starter

JR-Bush, starter

SR-Fentress, just plug him in

SO-Carter, 2nd

FR-Lockley, 2nd, I would really like an update on him

FR-Gray, may not get in due to grades

FR-Mayes, S, CB

maybe: RL3, JUCO

I really think we need a JUCO Safety to come in next year and not a ok safety, we need the best JUCO safety in the JUCO ranks.
And from what someone said in another thread AG has his sights on 2 other Safeties, they are said to have us in there top 5.

 

[Gamineal]

dallas will move back over there..

Lockley unlikely to play db here.

Why do you say this? is this your own assumption?

 

[Angry Ibis]

Most important name not on the list: Highsmith

 

[D.L.I.N.K.D.A.GR8]

dallas will move back over there..

I can actually see this and wouldnt be mad... He's a headhunter with good instincts and with the haul of RB's coming in it makes sense

He's a TE

We should give some of the CB's reps at safety so they can switch over whenever Jenkins or Bush aren't on the field. Especially considering we have four talented CB's.

Fentress or a unknown freshman safety will probably not cut it.

Addition by subtraction…

And, man, not having the Bush of 2012 really hurt this year. I hope the young blood comes back with a vengeance.

Gray isn't a DB.

Jenkins gets hurt every game. Our depth there might be more frightening than our DL depth for next year. For anyone that thinks we improve on D next year is out of their mind.

 

[IHATETHISPLACE]

Burns

I won't make anymore solid proclamations -- I learned my lesson. But I would be willing to bet that the defense is markedly better from a personnel standpoint. Assuming we get every dline recruit on board, those guys represent a significant upgrade as frosh. I think Chick moves inside. I think we have a couple of gazelles on the outside. Our secondary -- at least the starting unit -- will absolutely be better. No Rogers. No Highsmith. Burns (one of the two truly elite athletes on our team) with a year under his belt should be potentially scary. Howard taking the next step to All-ACC status. Bush needs to get back and Carter needs to emerge. In my opinion, LB will be the biggest unknown -- and in this scheme, the most important factor in our improvement. But overall, coaching aside, I don't see how we don't improve.

They are recruiting him as an athlete... 1 of the positions that he would try out for is Safety.

 

[Consigliere]

dallas will move back over there..

If we get Yearby and Powell in early, I think that is the smart move.

If we get another RB too, I think it makes even more sense.

Dallas would greatly benefit from being moved over the spring rather than over the summer.

He's also tiny. No thanks.

I don't think that happens with this defense.

There's nowhere for Chick to move unless he moves to NT and that's not happening.

So was the Bullet Bob Sanders and Ronde Barber.

Not saying he will play like them but at 5'9/5'10 there have been others who have done it.

My guess with a healthy Duke, Yearby, Powell and Edwards he may not be needed at the position.

Doesn't matter man. They'll be playing 20 yards off the ball. Sean Taylor would be gameplanned out of games by his own DCoordinator in Dorito's scheme.
