Anyone that thinks Redwine or Michael Jackson are good are crazy.
I think Redwine could be good at FS. And Jackson has clearly shown he's not a good cb, so theirs really nothing to lose by playing him at FS. We know Jaquan is going to be a starting Safety. The question is who is the next best safety? If it turns out to be Redwine or Jackson then Jaquan will play SS. If the second best safety turns out to be Carter, then Jaqauan will play FS. This is pretty simple. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised to see Jeff James beat out Jackson at FS this yr...purely because we know Jackson isn't good. And Redwine doesn't have the mentality to be great.
Delaney and Young will definitely be our starters at CB in some way. Dean will be too, IF he can tackle. Tackling is such an important aspect for dbs in this defense, and Bandy doesn't look like he will have any problem with that. So if Dean doesn't tackle well, I can see him being the 4th cb with Delaney and Young on the outside and Bandy in the nickel. If Dean does tackle well I think Delaney and Dean would be on the outside with Young sliding into the nickel.
I would be suprised to see james ever really play much here. They wouldn't be talking about moving a cb to fs if they thought he was that good.
i agree with everything except the criticism of Sheldrick Redwine. Does he need to be great to be better than Michael Jackson, Jeff James, and Robert Knowles at FS??? Of course not.
Regardless I dont see Redwine being moved to safety at all... we dont have depth at corner to move a veteran cb with good potential to safety. He is very physical, i've seen him jar balls loose that would have other wise been a catch. And at times looked good in coverage as well, of course he still needs a lot of work in that department but he is not a scrub that is going to just get passed up easily like Ryan Mayes and Terrance Henley
