Message: [QUOTE="Doctor44, post: 926794, member: 2658"] Shafer mentioned in the press conference that he wanted to create more competition at DB. Probably because we got shredded by the top end talent at FSU and clemson. Looking at our top DBs for next year we get: Eskridge at safety, Reddish at CB, Morgan at CB, Darius Kelly at Safety Others on the depth chart - Desir, Whigham, Scissum Our LBs look to be Arciniega, Dyshawn Davis and Cameron Lynch ( Kirkland and Hodge look to push for playing time) I think Reddish is a great cover corner. He seems to have got burned looking in the back field and with some miscommunication in zone defense. Kelly can be a lightning rod, but his size is going to make it difficult to compete with big WRs down the field. Morgan was one of the few big time recruits from NYC that we've landed. He's very athletic and I'm hoping he can put it together for us this seasons. Eskridge - let's hope he continue to improve, because he's got big time potential. If he can put on more weight and make some big hits in the run game, he's got a chance to be special this year. Again, I think our LBs should be the strength of our D. Let's hope the d line (with williams, thompson and simmons) can hold their own, so the LBs dont have to do so much work in the run game. If the LBs can be free to fly the to ball, I think we'll be in ok shape and itll be great if they can really help cover the middle of the field. This is going to be coach bullough's second year. Hope that we can work on some of the communication when we go zone and players really start to understand the scheme. I think its the blown coverages that really drive fans crazy. Lets just ignore the FSU game. What're y'alls thoughts on our defensive back field this year? I'm cautiously optimistic about the defense and i think they'll stand up through the course of the season. [/QUOTE]
