Okay so at corner we have:

Tyrann Mathieu Jr.
Tharold Simon Jr.
David Jenkins RS Fr.
Jalen Collins RS Fr.
Dwayne Thomas Fr.
Derrick Raymond Fr.
ETA: Jalen Mills Fr.

So Simon gets one side, but how does the rest play out. I would like to see Mathieu stay in the nickel (more like rover). So what happens to the other spot? Which one of the rest of these guys takes on the other outside receiver?

Also, any insight into the personnel in nickel and dime situations would be appreciated.

I know this has been discussed some, so I'm very sorry to the board for wasting your obviously precious time.

Jalen Mills?

But yeah I think David Jenkins is the next great DB in line and J. Collins in the next Simon.

don't be a jackass, Larry.

you'll continue to see Tyrann at 1 of the spots in the base look, with Simon at the other I'd imagine. then slide Tyrann down when in nickel or mustang. the outside CB in that scenario isn't really known yet. David Jenkins has gotten some buzz, and also Ronnie Vinson is in the mix. he primarily played CB last yr.

we got Coop, we got athletes, other teams got problems.

I remember a lot of people comparing Micah Eugene to TM7 when he signed with LSU. Look forward to seeing him play

A month our so ago there were several high positive comments on RS Fr Jalen Collins. Don't know how much fact there is in that but I would assume having a good year in the system puts him in good shape. IMHO

I thought there was some talk about Sam Gibson moving to CB?

I think he's already trying to put on weight and learn safety - he's a guy I think could play both positions, but I think he's moving to safety - he and Vinson are going to vie for the #2 safety spot next year (ETA with Loston, if healthy).
