Listening to the radio show and they are inferring that teams will avoid Greedy Williams. I understand that they'll attack the other corners more, but I don't know if he'll be avoided. As great as Peterson, Claiborne, and White were, teams still tested them.

Your best corner is typically going to cover the best receiver. Particularly if they physically matchup. Guys will get thrown at some, especially if the coverage looks favorable such as single coverage and no safety help.

Teams tested PP7 less than Claiborne and White because he was better.

Also Claiborne was across from Tyrann most of the year.

If Fulton gets cleared this season goin away from Greedy may be very favorable for our TIGERS!!!

Peterson was not really tested at all besides with Julio.

The amount Greedy gets tested will depend on Fulton as well.

If this is true and Greedy is matched up against the other teams number one then that is a win in LSU’s book. Greedy won’t have crazy stats this year because eliminating half the field does not show up in the stat column.

They won’t avoid him.

Don’t forget about Webster. One of the best, ever!

Teams will test him early this year but if it's anything like last year that will be short-lived. Kid made his presence felt against BYU and never looked back. Getting Fulton back would be ginormous if he's as good as we're being led on to think he is. Figure out the other safety spot opposite of Delpit and you're starting to border on the 2011 defense look with better LBs.

No corner goes untested no matter how good they are. As others have said, your best corner will many times be on the other team's best receiver.

I just hope Greedy comes out and elevates his game to match all his hype. Last year he was very good, but he has a ways to go before he can say he is Peterson , White or Claiborne good. White was better in coverage than Claiborne but didn’t have the size and length that Claiborne and Greedy have.

They will do so at their own risk.

The thing I love about Greedy is that he doesn't seem to take big chances. He seems to have the innate sense about when to go after the ball or play it real tight. As great as Peterson was, he still got burned a few times because of his aggressive style.
