It would be a significant understatement to suggest that our defensive backfield was subpar in 2015. Whigham struggled massively [disappointing for senior], and with Rodney Williams being injured for a significant portion of the year, we were weak at safety outside of Cordy.
Winfield was impressive, after switching from WR. And Cordy was an impact player, albeit an undersized one. So what's in store for 2016?
I know that Morgan has struggled throughout his career, but might he be a kid who thrives in Tampa 2 at corner? If so, and he's got the requisite size, we might field a better set of corners than we did this past year. I liked that Dowels / Hudson got force fed an infusion of minutes the last third of the season--they are a bit undersized for Tampa 2 on paper, but if they take the next step, we might have a better group of corners next season than what we saw this year. Would also help if Scissum / Whitner take the next step, and if an incoming player like Brinson can push the two deep.
Will be interesting to see how things play out.
