Brandon Reddish

[PhatOrange]

from Rahme today :

Folks who saw sophomore Brandon Reddish (5-foot-10, 179 pounds) on the depth chart at one starting cornerback spot with veterans Ri’Shard Anderson (6-1, 189) and Keon Lyn (189) battling on the other side and assumed it was simply because Lyn was coming back from a shoulder injury and will eventually move over could be mistaken. Reddish is a different player than he was last season as a rookie, much more aggressive at the line of scrimmage when he presses foes and extremely gifted in pass coverage. He seems to possess the one ingredient every great corner needs – the ability to open his hips and change directions on a dime. I would be surprised if he is displaced

**This is what competition (and recruiting better) does for the team. That's stating the obvious, but I think everybody pretty much assumed that Anderson and Lynn would be our two corners - and that Lynn is our best corner. It's great to hear one of the youngsters appears to be displacing a veteran. It means the competition has improved. This will make everybody better and the older guys need to bring it.

Whigham got a shout out yesterday to:

"Whigham made several nice plays – one when he was covering senior Marcus Sales that resulted in an interception of a John Kinder-thrown ball. Another time, Whigham smothered sophomore Adrian Flemming and batted away what looked like a sure catch."

All three of them are going to play a lot. If Reddish's growth means that we have three solid corners instead of two that's a great development.

Cali is going to be very disappointed.

Is it the Orange Kool-Aid I've been drinking...or does it seem like we are turning the corner?

 

[Whitey23]

So i guess Reddish burning his redshirt was a good thing? He was able to gain some game experience?

 

[kcsu]

I think lyn will start

 

[RMH44]

I think lyn will start

Over Anderson or Reddish?

Both, but I'm right there with ya!

Preseason hype and "star" potential, come September, translates into serviceable production. Anything less and that player is destined to be a liability.

At only 179 pounds, it is likely Brandon is going to be a liability playing against a team that runs the ball well. Young CBs are rarely good playing the run, especially undersized ones.

I think he is going to get a lot of playing time, but he might not play a lot against teams like UConn. Should be a near lock to play in passing situations.

I agree... a drill is completely different than reading/reacting to a play and executing. I can see other teams pulling a guard and running right at him a few times and then going to a play action pass.

True but there aren't too many teams that are successfully running to the edges against us. Most teams that have run well against us have run right over us between the tackles. If our interior line is exceptional (which is very well could be) I like our LBs and #Shamarko to clean up anything that gets strung outside.

That's a minor worry though. He'll be playing the wide side of the field to.

Funny what having a full roster can do.

Now, we still have a ways to go. We need to continue to add offensive playmakers, improve the OL, and continue to build depth everywhere, but it is hard not to be excited about what the coaching staff is doing on the recruiting trail.

I've said this before--I know that the last few years have been a struggle and we've played some ugly ball [especially on offense], but I have a feeling that either this year or next things are going to just pop, and the competitive level of play that the team is capable of is going to kick up a notch or two.

The 10 pounds Reddish gives up to Lynn is going to have very little impact on the running game. If a guard does pull and gets his hands on either of them, he's going to flatten them both. 10 pounds isn't in that situation

 

[jekelish]

I'd be a lot more willing to drink the Kool-Aid if we didn't have such a brutal schedule this year. It'll be tough to tell how far we've come, unless of course we win 7-9 games, which is going to be tough.

That presumes they or anyone can get their hands on him. Being quick and fast trumps lbs and mass every time.

 

[Rocco]

Reddish is a jam corner which is awesome for Shafer because he's never had one. He's always had to give up slants because the DBs are a few yards off the WRs.

 

[NovaOrange]

People who are talking about Brandon's weight are way off. That's a poor measuring tool to use. He is fine at that weight playing CB hell some of the more violent hitters the game has to offer were lighter then that at the DB position.

I'll call your bluff. Name some of them (they have to be from the last 25 years).

I'm not saying BR will be a liability, just that your statement is pretty bold. I don't recall any violent hitters under 179 lbs.

 

[phil77]

I know I have said it before and I will say it again I love me some Whigham. I have high hopes for him.

Antoine Winfield comes to mind first. Can't think of any others immediately.

I was under the impression that Reddish was a big get.

I am not surprised that he is playing well.

I expect the same from Wayne Morgan - perhaps this fall.
