Ziggy Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 We also are no longer playing in the Big 12 where small fast coverage players work, we need taller, bigger tacklers to play in this league. More and more we are seeing QBs who can run and throw, and we need to have more diverse DB's that can cover and put a hit on a RB in the flats or a QB scrabbling. 5'9" is fine for covering, but you can not put weight on that frame and expect him to remain fast enough to cover.

An those same Smaller DBs we had on those teams covering those better receivers are now covering the best WRs in the world in the NFL. I'm gonna trust that if Bo thinks a 5'9 corner has what it takes, then we should all just trust that he knows what he's doing. I love Bo Pelini! Haters gonna hate. Quote Link to comment
