There was NOTHING inconsistent about his play.

When he was surrounded and pummeled by 3 defenders 3 yards behind the LOS, he didn't gain much.

When the O-line actually blocked, he performed well.

Bubble Players

Marcel Jones - been injured and on the practice squad. If he doesn't prove himself this pre-season, I think he gets the axe with other talent around

Travaris Cadet - with the beast that is Khiry Robinson, we have three legitimate running backs. Plus Brandin Cooks can fill the "Sproles" role for this team, so the 4th running back spot may be negated, allowing someone else at another position to make the team instead

Kenyuta Dawson - a lot of young players at the OLB position. Dawson could be cut allowing someone like Ronald Powell the opportunity to show what he can do

Corey White - with the staff playing him at Safety this offseason, does that mean they don't necessarily have the confidence in him going forward as a #2-4 CB? If so, with so much competition at Safety, and some dewcent players at CB, White could find himself out of a job if other players step their game up and he doesn't

No, it means that Byrd isn't playing and somebody has to fill in. Coaching staff already knows what they're going to get from White at corner, not so much with Robinson and Bailey.

Honestly, I think they expect P-Rob to win the job anyway and Bailey is probably set as the nickel/slot guy. I don't think that reflects poorly on Corey White, we just have a very strong group of corners.

I do agree, White is a good #3. He also could excell at FS, he has good speed for that position and tackles very well, I'm curios to see how he's doing at FS.

According to Payton, White hasn't lined up at safety and is not a safety in this defense

Despite how it might look, Sean Payton says Corey White has not lined up at safety | Black and Gold

So basically he was just playing deep nickel back and all the tweeters kept calling it FS.
I'd like to see that look. Can't wait for next saturday

Not getting into another Ingram discussion, let's just say we disagree on some points and leave it there.
