JJ Dunagan at CB

I’m putting fitz at cb if a move is needed. He has the speed and cover ability. On top of that the staff was going to bring him in as a CB out of hs at first. I would like to see dunnigan get reps at nickel and let Thornton get reps at safety in a similar role as Thomas last year. I think dunnigan offers more cover ability at nickel

How do you know those nickels are mediocre at best at CB? lol

No, i’m saying moving the safetys, who we know are good or better safety’s, to corner is a poor plan. I also don’t know that Portis, Ewald and the others are just strictly nickels.

even if the young corners are only ok, IMO it’s better to have them there with safety help, than move the safetys to corner and risk busts up the middle, or at best, be mediocre across the secondary.

better to have one strength and one concern, vs. turning a strength into a question by having guys play out of position.

We have two first round corners on this roster. Got one replacement this cycle in Wright, may need a dog to enter the portal. Unless someone on the depth chart is a high nfl type talent which I don’t believe so as of right now.

Need to actually see it but those guys are behind some serious talent. And if you haven’t shined at least to replace Brown on the depth chart than idk man.

Don’t do this to yourself again lol. There are young CBs on this roster with NFL upside, they just need reps and development. I hope we get to see Jaelen Waters out there over the next few weeks.

They was rated very close on the composite. But they also had was playing different positions. Ewald played outside and portis played a lot of nickel

I didn’t say they weren’t rated very closely. I said one was the highest, which he was. One was pursued hardest by a powerhouse program, and that same one spent his high school years guarding better WRs in practice than the others.

Hetherman said Ewald and Mack have been working all around the backfield, similar to OL. However, as I posted in the screenshots, wherein Chris played inside and Portis was outside, Portis was not used as a pure nickel in his first college snaps of his career.

I hear you and I typically would fully agree with you. Except in this case, you’re almost assuredly going to get Fitz as a corner in an emergency. It’s been practiced that way. And, he is unique.

They have a much better Dline than Stanford if we dont get things cleaned up, that better offense might struggle..

It took Mensah all of 2.62 seconds to get his deep passes out. That's quick af for deep passes and he was probably quicker on the shorter passes. Their DL is better than Stanfords but it won't mean **** if Mensah has the ball out before they can count to potato

I misread, my bad. I thought you were referring to moving the nickels out.

Their OL is suss and their QBs aren't any good either. They may make a few plays but it won't be enough to put an actual scare into us outside of the 1Q. Our offense is too good, they'll have to play keep up and they just can't. Additionally, they have to go to Cal the week before, turn around and come back. If they lose to Cal, the team may just quit like they did vs LSU

How many times have we faced mediocre QBs only to turn them into Tom Brady?
I know this happened more with the previous DCs, but you know we can't just assume we
are going to get that same poor QBing against us.
 
JJ is going to be one of the ones. Moves gracefully out there. Huge to pull that kid. Think he’s going to be hard to take off the field in the next 3 years.
