The dude looks like the perfect striker judging from his SR film

He needs to get his Weight up but he will be just fine! Baller

 

[joseermonfils]

smh why do yall do this

 

[Mikep]

cis makes every safety and linebacker we recruit a striker.

 

[DMoney]

I don't see him as a pure safety. Would not be surprised if he lines up a bunch at nickel.

Linebacker is so yesterday. STRIKER just rolls off of the tongue.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

So I guess we don't need any safeties according to the fools here. Let's move Carter, Smith, Washington, Harrell, and Williams to striker. Get it together you shrimp****s.

Don’t forget any wr over 6’2 200 moving to te.

If we had faster linebackers, we wouldn't need strikers.
If we had more strikers, we could get bigger linebackers.
If we had...

Why not? Kid has range, and can strike with the best of them. His coverage/ball skills is a bonus....

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Has the striker really been beneficial to our d? My answer would be no and I blame the **** out of Patke who has been absolutely useless since being hired as the 10th coach.

What if we had a real HC

And with our lack of depth at CB this sounds great. Get the best athletes on the field and lets go!

If we had a kicker, if we had an O line, if we had a coach, if we had an offensive coordinator last season might have been a lot better

 

[Damiencane86]

Not a striker smh. This kid can easily thrive as a safety or nickel in obvious passing situations. If there is a tailor made "striker" on our roster it's Avery Huff who posseses ideal length, athleticism, and coverage ability who only lacks size right now.

Same. I'm not sure if he has more upside at corner or safety. Nickel corner might be good spot. His ball skills and athleticism make him elite. Higher floor at safety but he may have a higher ceiling at corner. He may be a guy the DC moves around and he plays a different position depending on the defensive gameplan.

Aranda did something similar with Delpit at LSU especially later in the season when Delpit got healthy. The TA&M, Georgia and Oklahoma games are good examples.

 

[Turnoverchaincane]

The Striker position is nothing more than a gimmick. A gimmick that goes away when and if Manny goes away. Nickle and dime packages work just fine.

Go Canes!!!!!!

I disagree. It's nice to get athletes like Romeo Finley on the field, guys that can cover TE's/RB's/Slot WR's and play in the box. Next year we can get a guy like Keontra Smith on the field with Hall and Bolden as well. For me this helps get athletes on the field and defends more spread offenses.

 

[Silentobserver]

Can he punt play LT? His athleticism and quick feet (probably very flexible) would make him a killer out there.

Did I do that right?

Everyone is focused on our linebackers this year (which we should) but if we can get a guy like Keontra to step up big like Finley did then woo buddy lets ride
