Sounds like there’s a need to reset the expectations in the cb room

Definitely the one position where the team is still affected by how bare the cupboard was left

Would be a great week for Denver and Duce to get their shite together.

New coaching staff inherits terrible DB situation. Portal is the only way to quickly rebuild. Portal is always a crapshoot. It paid off last year, but did not this year.

What does good roster management look like to you?

Don’t forget Greg Brooks was also a starter and a QB of the defense before his tragic illness. We have been decimated in the secondary all year long.

I don’t think we’ll see either one of them this season and it doesn’t look good for Zye. Welch looks to be in trouble as well. Nightmare scenario and it will be exposed against Bama I’m afraid. Holding out hope that guys like Hughes. Toviano, and Stamps play out of their minds.

Any backup WR's that could realistically make the switch to CB?

I guess if Zy is out for any period of time plus the injuries we already have there. Denver and Duce should expect flowers and a im sorry card we still love you.....and need you sweet princes

Really grim. Maybe things will change after our bye week, but right now cornerback operations are in dire straits.

Ryan Robinson ain’t your typical walk-on; had P5 offers

He also looked really solid in the spring game. I think he can be a starter eventually at nickel.

Kelly really fricked us this year. Most important position on the team outside qb.

Pure speculation on my part - but every article I read about chestnut mentions “he’s played in four games this season” - meaning he could still redshirt and preserve a year of eligibility. He’d have two left. Whether that is to continue to play at LSU, or to try to get a hardship waiver to transfer again I don’t know. Reading between the lines of “still on the team but inactive”, I think it’s the latter so I don’t expect him to return.

Seems like a good coach would think about moving a wide receiver ath. to db position unless the young guys step up
