Interesting thread to re-visit from last offseason: Who's Our Striker?
I just don’t see why we would move him back to Safety full time when he excelled so much as a Striker. I think they move Smith back to Safety before they move arguably there best defensive player last year in Finley..
He made me a believer. Starting to see why it was down to us and Clemson for him. He was put into the right situation on D and played big time last year. Hope he takes another step this year. Hes definitely a "leader" on this D now.
You can care about whoever you feel like. Him translating to the NFL has no bearing on the position he's asked to play for us. So continue injecting your intelligent opinions. I'm sure their is a person who appreciates it.What kind of dumb question is that? So I shouldnt care about a UM player once they leave?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I've seen it written multiple places that Romeo didn't have a single missed tackle last season.
NOT. ONE. MISSED. TACKLE.
Yes there’s a smaller sample size but I’d argue he was the most consistent defender all last seasonHe had his moments...by no means am I ready to anoint him a great defender.
May the best man win

You have no argument so you revert to grammar check. Nice way to boost that lack of self esteem. I will carry on making you look like a fool.....There*.......Just wanted to help you . Carry on
▪ One tweak under new defensive coordinator Blake Baker: UM — which has only four scholarship corners this spring and six overall — has been using safety Amari Carter as a slot corner in nickel situations, a role that needs to be filled.
“Amari is such a good dime [cornerback], such a good blitzer, has such a good feel for underneath coverage,” Baker said. “That’s kind of how it’s evolved.”
And striker Romeo Finley, UM’s most improved player last year, has been moving to safety on third downs.
“It kind of came to fruition with a couple guys banged up,” Baker said. “In our third-down package, we’re putting him at safety. He’s played that position before. But he’s doing some good things back there. Any time you get an opportunity, make the most of it. We’ll see what comes of it.”
1 of the many players im excited about. With the new S&C, an offense that will allow the D to get some rest, a punter that wont continuously put our D in bad spots, this could be an amazing season. I know we all talk about the loss of Willis, J Jackson, Jaquan, etc. But taking everything into account, I dont think we have any drop off on D. We have some special players that are ready to make a name for themselves. Obviously the Jr’s, and seniors. But guys like Nesta, Hall, Rousseau. These guys are elite talents. Cant wait!
In his post practice interview last week, he said he'll be playing safety in the Prowler package. So they'll probably play GB at Striker in that same package. I'm not sure though, just assuming.
Interesting. Never heard of the Prowler package before. Carter at the nickel, if he can cover consistently, should put more athleticism and play making ability on the field. I wonder then who comes off the field in this case? Would this be 6 defensive backs, and would it mean Finley at Safety with Frierson as the Striker? Would love to learn more about this package, who they think they’ll play in it, and how often they believe they’ll need to utilize it given the opponent.
That will be short lived. Once Bubba steps on campus will be no need to waste RF at safety on any down.
I am intrigued by Amari at slot though. Hes a big time blitzer.
