T-WRECKs @ Safety?

Nickel is where he should be and stay.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, and his play definitely ain't broke, so why try to fix it?

Raz who is that chick in the pics?

Agreed I think the nickel with him playing wild and loose is his natural position and most effective for his skills. , He can blitz or cover from that position and line up all over the place. I think Claiborne. Simon and Ron Brooks in a corner rotation with Brandon Taylor, Eric Reid and and Craig Loston rotating at safety and Mathieu roaming out of the nickel in medium to long situations could be LSU deepest db rotation in history.

This crew is going to be fun to watch over the next 2-3 years. I bet Chavis is salivating right now.

Hatcher should see a bit of time at Safety in certain situations, but I think that will be more of a changeup/reaction type thing (where the offense changes formations at the line to a 4 or 5 wide set; we can just slide Hatcher back and shift the other two LBs over and voila, a matching nickel formation). I would expect in passing situations and other times when we send in nickel personnel, Mathieu would be the Nickel guy.

I also expect him to spend a good bit of time in the rotation at CB when we're not in a nickel set. Not EVERY WR in the SEC will be too big for him to cover.

I don't get where any of these questions and assumptions are coming from..Tyrann will be the corner on the other side of Claiborne and he may play the Charles Woodson role and switch to nickel in 3 or more corner sets...why move him to safety with all the talent there? and if you say he's undersized for corner aren't safeties usually bigger than corner's?
