Did they move him to appease Bootle and Lee too? Same Kalu who has been injury prone and would have required Lamar to step into regardless of positional decisions?

Kalu is a senior moved to safety, that raises some questions. You really think Lamar deserves to be starting? Quote Link to comment

If that's the case why didn't they just leave Kalu there instead of playing Bootle and Lee then? Seems like they could have had Lamar at one spot and Kalu at the other if Diaco (who just came in as a DC with fresh eyes) wanted that. I don't know if that seems like a source Lamar could put in APA format with that free education you are so upset about. Edited October 20, 2017 by spurs1990 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I've never once seen anyone on this board, on social media, in an article, etc., claim Joshua Kalu was moved to safety to appease Lamar Jackson. That's not to say it didn't happen, but the assertion that this was 'common knowledge' seems disingenuous. 3 Quote Link to comment

Bootle came into replace Chris Jones, Kalu was moved to safety so Lamar could start, and Kalu could still be on the field Quote Link to comment

"This is truly an exciting development as Jackson was looked at as elite talent coming out of high school. With the praise he’s getting from Nebraska’s defensive coaches, his new starting role could be just the tip of the iceberg. For now, Big Ten quarterbacks are going to have to deal with a very hyped up, tall cornerback that’s looking to make his coaches proud let alone a secondary that combines speed and size." turns out it was all hype..

Or maybe Diaco thought Kalu would project well as a NFL safety and....moved him to safety? Nah, that makes too much sense. 2 Quote Link to comment

Your premise is that I need to move someone in order to start Jackson and not make a move because I think a player may find a position where they can be exceptional. I believe they moved Kalu because it would benefit the defense, not because they needed to appease Jackson. Assume positive intentions. Quote Link to comment
