I guess this could be one of the better position battles. Anybody got any scoop on either of the two this summer?
Jai looks the part and hopefully can play the part if the time comes.

Jai was the starter in Spring, I don't expect that to be any different. Pretty sure nobody is going to pass Peterson. Thank god these new coaches aren't playing Seniority first like the other two morons.
Hawkins is extremely athletic but he has literally no physicality in his game and it hurt us way more than Jai did last year. Jai got burned on about two or three MAJOR plays last year. Hawkins routinely missed tackles, couldn't get off blocks, little run support and was inconsistent in coverage. He got burned way more than Jai.

the coaches clearly love Hawkins ..I guess it's because he probably does everything right in practice, etc
but he has the talent of a CB who should be at ULM or somewhere
Any time an opponent needed a big play last year they picked on Hawkins and got the big play 95% of the time...he's a major weakness in terms of a cover guy in our defensive backfield
Jai has far more upside..I would love to see him play more than Hawkins but I have a bad feeling they'll stick with Hawk
If I was Chad Jones I would take my first step towards Hawkins' side of the field on damn near every passing situation because he is likley to get picked on...PP can hold his own on the other side

Is Brandon Taylor going to be seeing any time this year?

I got nailed on this a while back, but I would go with Eugene because he is the better athlete, he is more fluid in the hips and runs with receivers better and everything, last year he just lacked experience, now that he has that i expect him to be better. but I'm sure folks on here will go with hawkins because he is supposed to be the more experienced CB, he had a couple pics last year in one game and it made him look better than he really is.

Someone correct me but I thought the battle was between Patrick Peterson and Jai Eugene on the right side and Chris Hawkins and Brandon Taylor on the left side?
