Mavric Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 DWilliams says Eric Lee definitely in the mix. Said not to take too much from the pre-spring depth chart. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 DWilliams said Lamar Jackson "still needs to learn how to be a cornerback at an elite level." You can take that different ways. I think the biggest thing is Jackson was not a corner in high school. I think it was a mistake to try to play him at corner right away last year. He obviously wasn't ready. He should have either stayed at safety or redshirted so he had more time to learn. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Dude, Mav, we don't land him if those things happen. Um .... pretty sure things that happen after he signed can't affect whether he signs or not. Now, he definitely wanted to play corner. And that's fine. He could still turn into a really good one. But he wasn't ready last year. Still not ready apparently. So I don't think he should have been out there. It's almost like we were playing him so we could say we were playing him.

Mavric Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 "What we're doing techniquewise is completely different than anything they've ever done," Williams said. "So it's pretty much a challenge for themselves." LJS Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 "He's definitely going to play, I can tell you that," Williams said of the sophomore Lee. "He's right behind Chris Jones." It appears to have been an oversight. "Coach has 135 guys on this team," Williams said. "Sometimes you're going to miss one or two guys. Hopefully those guys can step up here and make play after play after play and never miss them again." LJS Quote Link to comment

So you're the type of guy that loves going back on his word? Maybe we should go for a beer sometime, seem like an outstanding fellow! Quote Link to comment

I really hope we aren't promising kids they'll be playing in the first game. Well it was blatant that we told him, hey we are going to give you a fair shake at CB (everyone else was saying Safety) and it was agreed that if he came he wouldn't redshirt. It's pretty simple for a recruit to leave, and redshirt the following season if a coach is full of sh#t. Quote Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Its a motivation tactic. Thats all it is. He can see glimpses of greatness in this kid and he hopes saying this will help motivate him to take the next step. Guaranteed. Quote Link to comment
spurs1990 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Not sure where to put it and this seems like as good of spot as any. Hope he can do this. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm actually very excited about our defensive backfield. Blades 4 .9351 Jackson 4 .9582 Domann 3 .8619 Dismuke 4 .9064 Lee 4 .9414 Anderson 4 .8935 Plus many others on the roster like Kalu, Williams, Jones...etc who have shown promise. I know I haven't listed everyone on the roster in this post. We have a lot of talent in this group and I'm excited now about the coaching staff in this area. All upgrades in my opinion. THEN, you throw in a real possibility that we will have Bookie in the next class....wow. It's a group where we have recruited well. PS....yes, I know I lumped safeties into the cornerbacks thread. 1 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Not sure where to put it and this seems like as good of spot as any. Hope he can do this. Even though that was started by Cally, I still think that was one of his best slogans. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 SEEN: Defensive back Eric Lee intercepting Tanner Lee on a jump-ball fade pass into the right corner of the end zone. SEEN: Redshirt freshman Dicaprio Bootle make one of the final defensive plays of the practice with a goal-line interception of O’Brien. OWH Quote Link to comment
