He is the reason I am a little more bullish than some others on our secondary this year. Played well for a good Marshall Defense and the familiarity with the system is huge. Him and Porter holding down the outside makes me a bit less worried about our CB issues.
Agreed- Damari can hold down the nickel. If healthy, the only question mark is the other safety spot opposite Powell. Depth is a concern overall, but the starting unit has really only one question mark imo,

Understand the concern but I think Harris will step up and have a good year, he got valuable rep filling in for Cam so starting won't be new to him. The reserves lack playing time so depth is more my concern. 2nd year in the same system should help their development.

I think Harris will be a high floor/low ceiling type (best case scenario is a Mo Sikes type). The drop off in depth from there is steep and we'd pretty much have to move Richard to safety and rely on a true freshman in Zay and/or Isaiah Taylor. Markeith Williams just hasn't put on the necessary weight to be physical enough
 
Bobby Washington and Pruitt huge, Hayes could be special once weight is added - told me yesterday it took him a few weeks to get adjusted during spring but he’s towering

Adarius Hayes needs to add weight??? or did you mean Pruitt could be special once weight is added?
 
Posting an instant reaction podcast soon but here were some of my initial observations from practice #1


Tyler Baron looks HUGE - towering over entire defense Other than Anthony Campbell. Looks like a created player


Elijah Arroyo looking chiseled and lean


Jordan Lyle looks the part - great lower half


Akheem Mesidor looks like he was moving well


Robby Washington bulked up to 195 looking stout - playing receiver


Ray Ray Joseph in the same boat - told me he’s better equipped to take hits


Wesley Bissainthe looks like a LINEBACKER - not an athlete playing LB. Great size he’s added



Bobby Washington and Pruitt huge, Hayes could be special once weight is added - told me yesterday it took him a few weeks to get adjusted during spring but he’s towering



TE Coach Cody Woodiel seemed particularly pleased with two Riley Williams reps



Dyoni Hill pick off Emory Williams


Judd Anderson slant to Chance Robinson

Judd to Shemar Kirk out route towards sideline


Armondo Blount lining up as a defensive end - told me yesterday he’s weighing 264
