Let’s talk about the Syracuse secondary a bit then.
We know G Williams and D Chestnut are going to be the starters at CB. I am thnking I Johnson will be the 3rd CB and get a lot of PT.
I think J Carter will start at the boundary safety position, backed up by Eric Coley.
I think the free safety position will be a real battle between A Clark, J Simmons and R Hanna.
And I think the roverback position will end up being a battle between J Barron and L Oliver.
I am most confident on Carter starting. I thought he was the most solid safety we had last season.
But all the safeties struggled last year. There were a lot of missed assignments, a lot of missed tackles and a lot of plays where our safeties did not look physically ready to play at this level.
I think our guys here will be a lot stronger and a lot more experienced this season. I hope to see major improvement. If that happens. Our defense is going to be fun to watch.
Thoughts? Do I have the guys in the right places?
