CB Depth Concerns

[bigpurk45]

I dont think there should be a big concern here... They will be fine... these guys played against the best in south Florida...

As I said in one or two of the 15,320 threads on same topic, it wouldn't surprise me if we pick up a grad transfer from the waiver wire.

we have height at cb, most of them have some speed. they were cbs in south florida . its not like we got our cbs from nj. redwine, jackson were recruited by some big schools also they weren't golden projects. i think cb play will be better then expected

bama started a true freshman last year. won nc, clemson started mackenzie alexander as a young cb. it happens. we will see if are any good in spring practice and game action but can't be worse then some of the stuff happened under golden.

Minkah Fitzpatrick #1 CB - is the true freshmen from Old Bridge, NJ who started and led Bama's secondary in passes break ups with 8 and 2 Ints for Tds.
45 tackles, 3TFL, 2 sacks. 1st team Freshmen AA, SEC 1st team Freshmen.

Minkah had a Miami offer from Golden his Jr year.

cool, i personally don't have an issue with nj players at least not all. te's have worked out great for miami from there. i just think people are making way to much of our cbs have no experiance

our safeties are all very experianced, we have corn elder at cb 1 spot. so having guys like henley, jackson, redwine fight it out for 2 and malek young and others for nickle isn't always a bad thing.

this is college. there are years where teams play guys who haven't played alot. not everyone u have at cb will have started before or even played alot. yr to yr depending on depth u have to rely on inexperianced guys.

cb to me is gonna play better then expected.

J Johnson
Cedric Wright
Malek Young
Elder
M Jackson
Henley
Redwine

is good enough for one year at CB.

LOL at dummies sleeping on Redwine. With the heat Kool will generate, CBs won't have to try to cover in perpetuity like they did under the last maggots.

Simple science. Ask a CB to cover for less time, and they don't all have to be Deion sanders.

Redwine is an aggressive corner with long arms on a 6'1 body and he played decent snaps as freshman. He's going to start and he's going to play well.

Agree

I'm curious why everyone is penciling Cedric Wright in at CB? I thought he was being brought in to play safety. Is this Wright to CB projection based on the way he fits in Diaz's scheme or are people referring to Wright's ability to be a nickel CB? I suppose it is probably both.

He played the Honey Badger Nickle/Rover hybrid position in HS. His versatility is one his best attributes.

He looked pretty good to me, and I was mostly impressed that the moment wasn't too big for him.

You make valid points in terms of our safeties not only being experience but also being talented.
They may lack game experience but Im sure their hungry and ready to prove they belong.
Should be a fun intense spring camp for our CBs, looking forward to see who emerges.
