How do you feel about our DBs after Spring?

Seems like Kelly is happy with their development. How do you think they will hold up, and do we have enough depth?

Still on the fence

Just don’t have the horses at safety and corner imo

Sage Ryan is a starter still so that’s a real concern.

It’s crazy how bad our DL and DB recruiting and development have been in recent years.

It’s so radically different than the 2000’s and 2010’s.

Not good at all and about how I felt coming into last year but last year atleast we had Greg Brooks coming into season. We have bodies but nobody that’s proven to be good and nobody really with blue chip talent.

Need to get some talent out of the portal and cut bait with dead weight to free up spots

We need to improve the depth and quality of the cornerbacks. It is our second most pressing need after defensive linemen.

A lot of press coverage in the spring game. Woodland and Stamps looked good. Sage and Burns had miscommunication issues. Gilbert struggled tackling in space.

I think you have to give Toviano, Jackson, Yaites, and McBride looks in the backfield. There's clearly upside there, they just have to figure out how to use it. Plus, You get Alexander back by fall.

While they weren't great in the spring game, there is clearly reasons to be encouraged.

Still too young and inexperienced. Deshawn Mcbryde and Kylin Jackson need to learn what to do fast. I have no faith in Sage or Jardin Gilbert to make plays against SEC receivers. Corner should be better than last year with more quality options to throw out there.

The CB’s looked like they had good coverage and I think part of that was playing more press man. The weakness is our S play. They blow coverage and do not tackle well or are out of position to make a tackle.

We have to get the younger guys ready to play this fall.

They’ll be better, and the safeties they recruited out of HS this year are really good.

Believe it or not, complimentary football will also help them, and I expect them to be a lot better at stopping the run as well as utilizing their many pass rushers.

There are not many teams with unique skill set guys like Womack, Swinson, Perkins and Reiliford.

We have a lot of bodies, but none I trust to guard elite receivers. Sage Ryan getting burned and being out of position at this point of his career is inexcusable.

I could be wrong and missed something but Woodland, Stamps and Brown looked good, not great, but it's spring and they are young. Jackson at Safety looks like a stud in the making. I do believe they will be better this upcoming season. Not LSU standards but a bridge to getting back to that level.
