2015 Secondary

[oxrageous]

Who's starting?

Discuss.

 

[WobbleGator]

VH3 and Tabor at the corners.

VH3 and Tabor at the corners.

And those are the only locks imo.

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

Marcus Maye is also a lock

 

[Ray Finkle]

I am a fan of Neal.

VH3 and Tabor at the corners.

That right there means they could be the best secondary in the nation.

I think Neal is a lock at safety. Harris will the the other safety unless he gains weight and plays LB. If that happens, then Dawson, Poole, or Maye could be the starter at the other safety position. There's a lot of depth at DB with Jackson, Wilson, and Washington ready to play. This is another reason why I think they may move Harris to LB and are toying with the idea of moving Jackson to offense.

This is by far the strongest unit on the team. The corners are going to be ridiculous and the safeties should be very good. Dawson came on late in the year as well and could end up starting in nikel packages.

If we can generate a decent pass rush (which we should be able to do) then it should be very difficult for team's to pass on us.

I like Neal, but think he could be good at LB along with Harris (apparently Collin's D has a hybrid player that is a big safety/quick OLB - these two would be perfect for that spot). We're stacked at Safety as you mention above and both Poole and Maye have a lot of experience and Dawson maybe be better than both. Plus Washington and even Wilson could step in and play the position as well. Jackson to the offense seems inevitable.

 

[Homer J]

all the same guys as last year, since they are all coming back

Was also very impressed with the way Quincey Wilson played late last year. He should be our nickel over Poole all day long and I believe he could end up being better than Tabor. Maye seemed to improve a little last year but he still has a way to go before being granted starter status. I still believe Nick Washington will be a very good safety/nickel if given a chance.

Wasn't he the starter last year?

He started some games. My point is that he improved somewhat last year but I'm not that sure he's the best that we got. I'd like to see Dawson, Washington and Harris, if he remains at safety get a fair shot without just basing it off of tenure.

I am a fan of Neal.

I am too.

VH3, Tabor and Wilson may be the best 3 corners in D1 singularly as well as a group.
I hope to see more solid play at safety from Dawson, Maye and Neal. For an example of the type of safety play I hope for, click the link below and view the safety play by which all Gator safety plays are measured.

Vh 3 and tabor at corner. Neal and Dawson at safety. Wilson at the nickel. Poole at the dime.

Starting corners are no brainers, VHIII & Tabor, Neal for sure one of the safeties, the other is open, I would start Wilson at the nickel. The 2 deep here is pretty good if we have an injury. Enough talent that can play various spots that there won"t be a drop off if someone goes down.

I think with finally having more of a pass rush that we will see more INT's These guys know how to get the pick.

I'm not sold on Poole, to me he was hot and cold, some plays he looked All SEC, other plays he looked like a true freshman.As the only senior he does have the experience and has played multiple positions, I could see him being the 2 deep guy for CB & in on the dime

I am a fan of Neal.

Me, too, as long as he is not in pass coverage. Then I become not a fan of Neal.

Solid. If Maye keeps improving this year he will be hard to keep off the field. I'd really like to see Washington at least get some reps in there also. He was a very good CB in HS and hits like a freight train for his size.

It would be hard to argue with this. We have guys who have switched to safety like Dawson and Washington who would be starters almost anywhere else at CB.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Dude, what is your relationship with Washington? I've never seen a third stringer get pimped so much.
