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.

Seniority is definitly overated for college. Maybe not HighSchool, but difenitly college.

This starting CB question has been talked about for a long time and its safe to say that about 90% of TigerFans would rather Jai Eugene that Chris Hawkins. But I have a feeling that they both will play a lot anyways.

I didn't think Hawkins was too bad but I've thought all along that Eugene is the better corner.

Both of them had problems understanding their zone assignments, but that wasn't out of the ordinary with the way the defense was called last year. Looked like based on the spring game, Jai and PP are the starters, but I would guess Jai will still have to continue to earn it in fall practice
