So, Cooley is FS and Haulcy is SS ? Who is the Nickel or that is STAR position ?

Perkins is the STAR.

If Delane moves inside… do either Cooley or Haulcy exit the field ?

Who replaces Delane at cb if we remove our best cb for his position ?

Who is the starting cb opposite Delane and who spells him as the cb opposite Delane ?

There are a ton of options in this secondary.


You can play Cooley and Haulcy with Perk at Star.
You can play that same safety look and bring in woodland at nickel
Roll down Cooley to Nickel and play Spears and Haulcy deep
Cooley and Haulcy at safety and bring in stamps and Pickett/Jackson on dime looks.


Lots of options.

Delane was the only CB Kelly named as a definite starter. He wouldn’t move inside to nickel

Woodland

Not necessarily. It’s a hybrid Box Safety role. If we play a Nickle in a sure passing situation, they might bring in a true CB like Woodland for that.

This will likely depend on how Perkins takes to the role. If he is killing it getting after the QB, then the smart move would be to keep him on the field and take a LB off and play Dime.

Pretty sure Gilbert is gonna get some serious PT in passing situations

Man I hope not

If you have listened to any practice reports, MD has been moving to nickel and then some combination of Stamps/Woodland/Pickett have been on the outside. Perk is playing a hybrid Safety/linebacker. That’s how they have been running it pretty consistently at practice at least during media availability.

Don't think so. He will be in the box more than traditional nickel. I hope we blitz him more than traditional nickel. And use as a spy on running qbs.
