JC JACKSON!

The depth at CB sucks. Doesn't mean there isn't talent there. Corn will be drafted in the top 3 rounds with another good season. Redwine played pretty well last season despite terrible scheme and Paul Williams as his coach. Jackson, Mayes, Young, and Henley are unknowns right now. Mayes and Henley are likely nothing more than SPT players. Young is a freshman but still will likely see time at nickel this year and Jackson is blah to me. JC Jackson would be an awesome pull at a weak unit overall. He'd likely start opposite of Corn with Redwine and Young and probably Johnson rotating in at corner as well.

Corn will not be drafted in the top 3 rounds. He is a nickel back and is 5'10 175.

Terrell Buckley was 5'10 175. He got beat a few times but made big plays for FSU and MIA. This will be Corn in this new defense that plays to his strengths.

NFL draft: 1992 / Round: 1 / Pick: 5

Buckley is the only player with 50+ interceptions to never make a pro bowl. Buckley set what remains a current record as the youngest player to return a punt for a touchdown in NFL history (21 years, 105 days). In 1996, he led the league in interception return yards with 164.

He had at least one interception in 13 consecutive seasons.

Buckley was a two-year starter and three-year letterman at Florida State (1989–91), and left as the school's all-time leader in interceptions (21) and interception return yards (501).[1] His career interception yardage total of 501 is an NCAA record also tied school records for touchdowns off interception returns (four) and punt returns (three).

CBs shorter have gotten drafted higher.... He's more than just a nickel and he'll prove it again this season. his added bonus on being a return man helps as well. He's versatile and can play outside, nickel, and probably some safety if needed. Teams love versatility. 5'10 isn't exactly short in terms of NFL CBs.
 
I'm gonna try to erase from my mind seeing red wine in a high school game get burnt like 3 times.... I still think he is a safety and not a corner

Thats a helluva comparison. Nice work. T-Buck was the truth at FSU. No doubting that. He had a mean streak though and had hella swag. Corn needs to find that "dawg" somehow in order to take that next step. He has the tools.
 
Elder reminds me of Cortland Finnegan. A small guy who became one of the top CBs in all of football when he played for the Titans and yes he was 5'10. Finnegan obviously wasn't drafted in the top 3 rounds but Finnegan also didn't go to Miami and I believe Elder has more playmaking ability than Finnegan.

Don't we have some weird 3 semester rule for J.C. players? Like they have to have completed 3 semesters in J.C. before we will accept them? Maybe I am wrong, but I thought we lost a guy because he had not been in J.C. long enough to qualify here or something along those lines. Has JC been in J.C. long enough to qualify?

Those sound like Donna's rules. Hopefully, Frenk, with the help of CMR in his ear, has changed that. Now we need Rumph and CMR to sit down with JC and explain to him that he will get more exposure at UM than USCe, not too mention, there is no way in h-ell he doesn't start and play every single game, the whole game, while he is at UM, barring injury.

He'll get plenty of exposure at either school. The relative exposure - if there's any difference at all - will have zero impact.

Hopefully, they can sell him on attending UM, the new defensive scheme, and playing for Richt. Perhaps most importantly, his family can attend every game.

Think Finnegan went to Samford in Birmingham.

Except he was still good after Haynesworth left so nice try...

he was dog**** afterwards

but believe whatever you want, i'd hope that corn could be much better than that dude

Ok dumbass, you're clearly confusing his time with the Dolphins and this year with Carolina. From 07-11, he was a top 10 CB. Stop looking at INT #s dip****.

Cubana has blinders the size of tostones lol.
The current UM roster at CB is the weakest it's been in since before Schnellenberger. JC will start in a heartbeat this year and I'll take a PERMANENT ban if you agree to your own bet Cubana.
Stop calling people dummys when you're the only one on this board that agrees with your view.
Who's the dummy? The consensus says you are but I'm willing to wait for it all to play out before calling a fellow fan degrading names.

No, it's not and it's not even close. In Spring 2011, Miami had ONE cornerback on scholarship, Brandon McGee. That's why Lee Chambers had to be moved to the position. That's also why a guy like Mike Williams, who rarely played at Wake Forest, started 11 games in 2011 as a grad transfer.

The cornerback situation is not optimal, but we've got folks arguing about the position and they don't even understand the defense Diaz runs. No position is protected more than both cornerback positions in his defense. Jackson and Redwine are more than serviceable to play in this defensive scheme. Elder is a very good player. Johnson moves from safety to corner back to safety throughout the game. If he doesn't start it won't matter because he'll be on the field. The pressure in the secondary is at the safety positions. We're asking Jenkins, Carter and Johnson to do a lot.

If JC Jackson comes, then we'll be a better secondary and he helps a lot. If he doesn't, then we'll manage. We're not losing games because of our cornerback situation. That I'm sure of.

How is the CB position protected in his scheme?

Because Diaz plays a lot of 2-read coverage and that puts the pressure on his safeties. Corners do many times set the edge. They definitely have to be very good tacklers and want to be. They need to have speed but they don't need elite speed like press corners. We'll play quarters and variations of cover 2 mixed in with man. In my opinion you do need elite safeties. I think a kid like Johnson can play some corner in this defense. The key to Diaz's defense is making the quarterback get rid of the ball quickly and coming at him with different blitz packages. This defense should look like the polar opposite of D'Onofrio's.
