Nickel defense without Bush

[rok]

Who do we think will replace Bush as the nickel cb/lb for the first half?

 

[jandman514]

Chad Thomas/AQM NickelEnd talent trending upwards....

 

[jetace]

Jaquan

 

[gfer1988]

yeah i would think jaquan

 

[Gransapo]

Dallas Crawford, a.k.a. Nantambu-Akil Fentress 2.0.

 

[snowmoney]

Safeties will be Jenkins and Crawford, CB's will be Burns & Howard on the outside with Corn in the Slot.

Corn has the speed to cover the slot and is prob our best tackling CB

 

[cane since birth]

id hope its jaquan he should be playing over crawford, from tackling standpoint crawford is better, quan is light years ahead in coverage

 

[Tad Footeball]

I think Michael Wyche might play a role.

Jokes aside, Alfredo seems to have absolutely no worries about this if you listen to him talk this week. I'd say that should be an absolute red flag but Corn's versatility should actually negate any issues.

 

[cane since birth]

I hope we see jackson kerr, they might move him to safety

 

[jevoasis]

The scheme is so top notch, Dorito can throw a barrel full of fish heads as his nickel and they still won't complete more than 25% of their passes

 

[cane since birth]

Deon is a really big piece in our offense, when he got booted our D went to crap

[Canesfan1899]

Dallas Crawford, a.k.a. Nantambu-Akil Fentress 2.0.

That's going to make for a long first half. Unfortunately I could see Al doing this because he trusts Crawford more than a freshman.

LB depth moving forward is a nightmare

SLB McCord - Smith - Gordinier

MLB Kirby - Young - McCray

WLB Grace - Perry - King

Have you not been watching the games??...Crawford has been awful at tackling people in space <- exactly what a safety should be doing at a high level.

In the box, he is a good tackler because he simply dives at peoples feet. Get him in space and he hugs air more often than not.

Always does.

He calls the back end and our scheme is prone to busts.

I want to see Redwine get in the CB rotation some now. Spell Howard some...Tracy's been less than stellar. I'd be on board with what you posted above, and replace Howard with Redwine.
