Has he stayed strictly at nickel or have they put him outside?

With Joyner gone next year, I hope he takes one of the cb spots (assuming Bryant returns). It will be chinteresting to see how they sort out the dbs next year

Joyner already gone

He is, but with Miller gone next year as well, you have 2 open cb spots. I'm assuming Taylor gets one. Molden could get the other unless the coaches are dead set on him as a nickle. That's why I was wondering if Molden had played at a position outside of nickle.

I think next year will be...

CB: Taylor
CB: Hampton/Gordon/Irvin
Slot: Bryant
S: McKinney
S: Molden

Based on garbage time this year Hampton is Taylor's backup at RCB. I would say

RCB - Taylor, Hampton
LCB - Gordon or Irvin
Slot - Molden or Bryant (Roof is saying Bryant is rumored to leave early)
S - McKinney
S- Gilchrist or Irvin or Spam Chancellor.

I don't think Molden will be the guy who gets moved to safety.

Has Irvin or Gordon gotten snaps on defense? I don't remember seeing them (I could be wrong). So Hampton coming in at the end of the game would help his case as a potential starter next year.

I also don't really buy the Myles Bryant entering the draft rumors, unless Pete let him know Molden would likely start over him next year and doesn't want to be regulated to being a back-up for his senior season. But he's not going to go high in the draft.

I have not seen Gordon or Irvin take snaps this year. I just found it interesting that Hampton came in for Taylor who backs up Miller on the right side. Its probably irrelevant but I remember a few big plays from Hampton's HUDL from the RCB spot. I am in the camp that Bryant isn't even good enough for the XFL but Roof seems to know certain things. Its not like his stock can get better so the rumors of him leaving might have some truth. It has been telling that against Cal and WSU that he was benched in the 2nd half for Molden. I can't wait for our secondary position battles in spring next year.
