Next Starting Safety (FS & SS)

[Honeybooboo]

I'm going to try out as a pwo, so I think we will have more in the box as I can cover the entire field myself


At least that's how I see it when I get in from tailgating

Isn't Andrew Smith going to be the next FS? He's the backup right now and has been taking any snaps when the starter is out for a play or two. Dempesy has played a ton of nickel lately but not much safety.

Both Smith and Board are upgrades from the size at 6 and 6-1, but no idea how they compare in the speed and it will take a while to make up for the experience.

If I had to guess I would say that the base defense will have CJ, Champion, Board and Tre Dempsey. In Nickel I would not be surprised if Andrew Smith came on at FS and Dempsey dropped down to corner. There isn't really a scenario that I see that doesn't have Dempsey on the field for 3 downs.

I would imagine Smith and Board will be in a position to earn the starting spots having been in the system and will have an advantage . Will be an interesting battle as we have a great pool of talent competing for the 2 deep. I've given up predicting spots since it never seems to be an exact science. Some of these young guys have never had an elite training program before or never ran track in high school. Speed numbers don't mean much

Skills are always good but, heart, will, desire and brains help. The talent of players coming back are unbelievable.

Board and Dempsey. Book it.

Well need 3 corners next year too so Tre could be the 3rd corner or top backup. Wouldnt be the first time a player was moved to get the best athletes on the field. But Tre will be a starting corner in 2016 after Champion and Smith graduate

He was one of the last guys to almost get his redshirt pulled.

next year's team will have some major wholes... way more than the 23 seniors of from 13 class.

i originally was thinking the same until I really started looking at it....not as many as you might think
