I know right. We need to reserve judgement until after the season.

As I understand it the Nebraska system is that different... I am ignorant to the reality of it so I am asking.

I am too. I am wondering if that conference is maybe built around a strong running game as opposed to a passing game with QBs with big arms and big receivers. IDK I don't watch much college ball anymore. Especially outside of the SEC.

I have O line anxiety issues...

Assuming (I know about that word LOL), but assuming Rob Ryan makes him better (not shut-down good but better) who would you rather on Julio Jones? Robinson, Baptiste, White, Sweeting.... (In order)

Assuming we were silly enough to go man coverage with no help over the top.? not one of our CB can handle the task. and it would be time to fire ROB. Rob is not a secondary guru. front 7 yes secondary no. that credit or blame falls on Curtis i believe.

short area coverage you would want Robinson. SJB is not ready for that assignment. not even close to ready. Then White. SJB needs a helll of a lot of work before he is even ready to try that duty

Man coverage is out of the question. dbl him up as always. Hit him with no mercy every time he touches the ball. Jones does flinch by the fourth.

Of all the DB on the board when we picked no matter the round there was one DB that stood a chance Deone Bucannon. Calvin Pryor is one also

Justin Gilbert is the only CB in the draft that stands half a chance in man coverage.

Thanks.... I'm not well versed in DBs. I'm a lineman..... Both sides of the ball.

Off man...YES. Ah, but press man at the LOS, that is where I think this secondary is headed; and Baptiste would probably be good at that. You are correct I would not want Baptiste covering a fast WR one on one without first having knocked him off his intended route.

Calvin Pryor is a safety, and probably wouldn't be man up anyway.
