re: Dumb Ryan Clark says Delpit playing the best safety ever at LSU...

Reading comprehension is fundamental... I said as “just” a safety.. he lined up at safety multiple times. Obviously he wasn’t officially listed as a safety which speaks to his greatness.. he was positionless

---

The point is his snaps at safety were so sparse there is really no need to include him in a discussion about former LSU safeties

It's like talking about great running backs in LSU history and bringing Josh Reed into the equation.

I get the confusion though, because we're not using Delpit as a traditional safety. He's all over the defense. His alignment is everywhere too.

Yeah. I wasnt try to say TM was bad in coverage. Peterson is an allpro nfl cornerback though. Just pointing out he was better in that aspect.

Agreed.

Laron Landry would like a word with you. I mean, isn't he the highest drafted safety ever in the history of the NFL. I love Delpit would give him the nod over Jamaal Adams, but come on man.

This thread has gone a 100 mph in the wrong direction.

The disrespect to Jack Hunt is incredible. Not only was he an amazing safety he caught the Blue Grass Miracle. The only game we lost in 03 Hunt was out.

Jim Hawthorn told me he caught it.

I thought Honey badger played nickel.

TM7 was a game changer in ways I've never seen another safety be capable of.

I remember him as a nickleback at LSU.

There’s a retired #37 in the lore of LSU Football for a reason...for those of us old enough were fortunate to watch Tommy Casanova. Depict reminds me a lot of Casanova. He also was an electric punt returner. Any list of top 5 safeties have to include him near the top of the list.
