Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Kyler Gordon is explosive.



Is Jimmy going to move Taylor Rapp over to Strong Safety, plug Gordon in as the starter at Free Safety, and delegate McIntosh to the "Zeke Turner big-hitting back-up who sucks in coverage" role? I don't know but Rapp and Gordon sounds like a lethal safety combo both tackling and in coverage so it will be interesting.

    It’s going to be pretty hard for a true freshman to start in the secondary.
    Agreed but we are trying to get more ball production from the secondary and Gordon is a ball hawk with the versatility to play any position in the secondary. Hard to keep a guy like that off the field.

    My hope is:

    CB1: Murphy, Taylor
    CB2: Miller, Hampton
    SLOT: Joyner, Molden, Bryant
    SS: JoJo, McKinney
    FS: Rapp, Gilchrist

    We'll see what actually happens... but I think that would be the best use of bodies. We are going to lose 4/5 next year, so every freshman is going to have to play.

    I agree with most of that but Gilchrist sucks and looks fat. The best use of his body is warming the bench while Gordon plays ahead of him. If Jojo can improve in coverage that would be great. If not something needs to change because I'm tired of watching him get beat like drum in coverage. He's always a step too slow to react.

    Agree. This is the best case scenario. Players moving up the ranks as they gain experience. Kyler Gordon looks great but I'd rather not see true frosh getting tons of playing time at well-recruited positions.

    I'd rather see the best players on the field. If that means Gordon plays as a true Freshman then so be it.
