That would be more athleticism on the field.

 

[BeastMode]

Wow. I knew he wasn’t a CB but I thought safety all the way. Very interesting move here. So we got Finely, Smith and then Gil? I don’t see many reps being available for whoever is third on that depth chart with all the other LBs we got on this roster.

 

[the23Watcher]

how many CBs do we have now?

how many CBs do we have now?

6, that being said we will probably only take 2 CB this cycle 3 at most, who would you take?

 

[Barboni]

Really like the move to striker. His length, ball skills, and agility should bring a different skill-set than Finley.

Maybe we use both against specific groups of personnel.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Scary sight!!! I love it!!!

 

[Captain Uberpants]

Get the best guys on the field

 

[QSTOKES]

Interesting

 

[D_G87]

Great move.. that position can be a CB in certain situations.. doesn’t affect CB depth in the grand scheme of things...

 

[IcemanArcade]

Excited to see this

 

[AllbouttheU]

Dope, think his versatility is going be huge this season.

 

[hoops156]

i like it.

I was thinking same thing, I think when people hear striker they automatically think LB/S position but it also could be a combo CB/S. You could totally pull off him and Finley on the field together as well.

 

[Go Canes!!]

Frierson, Ivey and Blades are going to be an unbelievable trio.

That class is going to be the foundation of greatnesses.

 

[CoachChin]

Need to get him on the field somehow

 

[JayCane20]

Derrick Smith back to Safety? Maybe

 

[simplycanes]

That's a great move. Tons more upside there.

Love it. Move McCloud to backup Shaq now please. We rarely play with 3 LB’s and would hate to waste his talent. I know our coaches say we are a 4-3 base but we play 4-2-5 like 80% of the time which is all I want, especially with Romeo & Gil at striker.

Frierson looks like he has the right build for it. Might need to put on a couple extra pounds, but he’s got the frame and the athleticism
