O apparently emphasized this is an experiment

I kinda get it.

Slot receivers do more and more these days, and the assignments are probably hard to understand than just lining up on the farther receivers on a side of the field.

You’re thinking too deep. It’s because Vincent has been arse

like above guy said, it's not an experiment. it's because Vincent is getting abused and he knows once SEC play comes, he will get bullied.

Once this defense gets healthy, the biggest weakness will be nickel and deep safety. Idk what the hell is going on with Delpit this year, but Jacoby Stevens sure has been nice.

Edit: I said Jacoby Jones instead of Stevens

Will see how it goes. Flott is super skinny.

You ain’t gotta tackle if you don’t allow the guy to catch the ball

You have to not get pushed around off the line and yes they do have to tackle some

Well, they will be tested, not going to do well throwing on Stingley. But , they are killing Vincent, he just doesn’t have lateral movement and tackling ability, despite his speed...

You’re flat out wrong. Fulton is 2nd in the country in pass break ups. You’re just wrong.

The reason to move him is because the nickel has more on his plate during the game. He defends wr, helps with run support, and adds a blitzer



Exactly

there has to be more to is than just putting Flott out there instead of Vincent.

They're moving a guy who is not just a 2nd year starter at outside CB, but a VERY VERY good outside CB.

Other teams have to throw at someone.... if they throw 20 times at Vincent, he’s bound to give up some.

I do believe subbing guys in and out would keep them stay fresh and competing for playing tune.
