Taylor Rapp does but the crazy thing about him is he is a safety!FremontTroll said:
Who plays this role in current UW defense? Where is UW hiding all these safeties that are actually LBs?AF9705 said:I’m going to throw something else out that will ruffle some feathers on here, it shouldn’t, but it will for some reason...
Turner is not a “DB” & is not a Safety in the way people on here think. I don’t like to discuss player evaluation & X&O’s because people get really upset, but I will in this case.
He already has the frame of an OLB at the collegiate level. He has a better chance of playing drop end in college than Safety. No way on earth is he playing Safety in the NFL.
Every, I mean every, scout who has reviewed him, has said what I just said. Lake is telling him Safety & touting DBs in the NFL because it is a recruiting tactic. UW will use him as the crashing Safety in their 4-2-5 the exact way ND uses a Rover in their D. Every player at ND who has played Rover is a former HS Safety.
Kid is 6’4 & over 220 already. He isn’t playing “DB” at the next level. With his frame he will end up 235-240. -

Turner is nowhere that level. Very few players ever have been.

You can be a bigger safety like Kam Chancellor ... but your point about size is a fair one
That being said, what does Defensive football look like in 5 years as athletic TEs become more and more the norm?
Hybrid DBs/LBs likely become more of a norm -
Yup as long as Stanford is gonna keep calling their 6’7 WRs “TEs”, there is a role for bigger DBs.Tequilla said:You can be a bigger safety like Kam Chancellor ... but your point about size is a fair one

Ok you have convinced me! Between Turner and Trice we have finally replaced Feeney and Littleton. Now we will be unstoppable!AF9705 said:I’m going to throw something else out that will ruffle some feathers on here, it shouldn’t, but it will for some reason...

It's only a matter of time before power running makes a comeback due to defense slimming down to defend the spread. Seeing it in the NFL some already
For all the talk about what a great passer Tua is Bama still wants to run the ball. And Clemson still relies on Etiane when the going gets tough
You have to run and you have to stop the run to win football games = Captain Obvious here -
Race weren’t you present when the prophet Mohammed said that running football will lead to wins?
