We will be ok. Chavis has a system that wrecks havoc and breeds playmakers

I keep thinking about what he means to the team. Fearless, over the top confidence and swag. He had guts and rare playmaking ability. I saw a interview with Eddie kenison not to long ago (Eddie Eddie Eddie ), he basically said you have to be a little crazy to be a punt returner and this is where it stings. 1 hopper, 2 hopper in your face, didn't matter. Much like PP7 he was fearless in that regard (although Obj will be a fantastic returner).

The thing is, as a nickle back, he was somewhat a product of chavis' system. We have many similar body types recruited on the team for that reason. Tm7 made lsu last season as much as lsu made tyran. Tyrans natural position is FS for that reason. I would not be surprised at all to see a FS converted for nickle and dime packages. Honestly, he was not an elite cover corner (although I was anxious to see his progress), I think he was just allowed to roam and would be the case for whoever could fill that role. I remember brooks having a monster game in Tyrans absence. Why? Because chavis put him in position to do so. Blitzing off the edge and covering slots will be handled. I promise you, his special teams contributions are more important (weather it be gunner or PR). But make no mistake, the staff has learned alot from tyran as much as tyran learned from the coaches. His spirit will live on. Obj on returns, Landry on coverage and one of our very talented DB's will take care of the nickle set. It's seams very natural for alot of guys with speed to do so.

He will be missed, but last year, I thought brooks was at least equal to tyran. I am not taking away anything from him, but I think he is replaceable (by committee) without much of a drop off. As a bonus we might have a better pass defense.
