Sign all the DBs

Mass influx

Something will have to give

 

[PAcuse]

We need it with most leaving after 3 years for the NFL

 

[FasterCuse]

Any of these guys have good enough hands to be receivers... kidding... kind of

 

[Faegan]

We're turning into Ball Hawk U

 

[CuseMan4]

Well we usually have 5 secondary players on the field at a time so we need more DB’s then most position groups. We aren’t just getting DB’s for the numbers we are getting some studs back there. This secondary is loaded. Also can’t forget special teams is a lot of DB, linebackers, etc in punt coverage and kickoff coverage. So some of these guys will be seeing time there as well. This off-season has really been great. Let’s have a great season, then build off it and have another off season just like this one…then watch out

 

[Orijinal]

I have dreamed of being DBU since Miami had their run in the 80's, and it has actually coalesced into reality

Let's run the 1-10 defense.

 

[PhatOrange]

Not sure something has to give as we only have 2 true cornerbacks and Neil Nunn playing corner. With Cole's departure we have zero depth behind Chestnut and Williams.

We currently only have 10 scholarship DBacks on the roster and we have 5 on the field. The injury bug has bitten us back there to. We also lose 2 more next year in Coley and possibly GWilliams which would knock us down to 8.

Safety and Rover health has been an issue and additionally safety play overall has been a bit of an issue but especially when we have to go to the bench.

We need to get better in the back middle (and health might have something to do with that.) But Carter (4 games) and Hanna at Rover (2 games), Williams (2 games) have missed a lot of time with injuries. Then when Williams/Cole were hurt we're putting Simmons and Greenwood at corner. Not ideal.

By my projections, if nobody leaves we'll have 17 defensive backs between Rover, both Safeties and both Cornerbacks. I think this likely the new norm with the 3-3-5. I'm projecting 4 Rovers, 7 Safeties and 6 cornerbacks. Some can play multiple positions.

Could be a little heavy but you have to build some depth.

15 are underclassmen

if redshirt sophs get passed, are they going to stick around?

at the end of the day this will sort itself out

 

[tep624]

We need help at WR too, wondering if someone could possibly make a switch...

 

[Ozone!]

The way we’re bringing in quality DB’s we will continue to add quality depth into the foreseeable future. Now that we have opened up recruiting in SW Florida; that area yields an abundance of talent, with speed and athletic ability!

 

[PhatOrange]

Foster and Delaine are the obvious candidates but I think our youth at the WR spot makes the jump.

 

[anomander]

I think Babers saw the same thing as most of us and realizes a couple of those guys really aren't ACC level.

 

[CapitalO]

Maybe Foster or Perry could become a ( WR )

 

[Cuse12]

i just had a flashback to the quality of DBs we had under FHCSS and that’s actually was such a weakness it was destructive to the team. The difference in athlete we have all over the field is very noticeable under Dino.

It seemed like every position was undersized. Every DB was like 5'9 or 5'10".

Yup. Kids that tried hard. But watching them get dragged down the field game after game was disheartening.

 

[GoSU96]

Bump.

[syrBossHogg]

Think we play a lot of good QBs this year, need all the DB help we can get

 

[Reilly35]

Need all these dbs because other teams have a QB that can throw?? Hmm

 

[MSOrange]

Yep a lot of teams are going with the 5 DBs with the passing games of today. Seems like you can't have enough.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Agreed if we are running a 3-3-5 so it would make sense to have a bunch of DB's. Crazy I know. Also look at what happened last year, depth can be an issue in a hurry

 

[kcsu]

No doubt Monroe is our best overall assistant coach. He can recruit with the best and coaches these kids into the league.
