Same as it was. These 2 were never going to be on the 3 deep this year.

Gonzalez maybe not, but Dirty Mike provided much needed utilitarian depth on the back end.

The Jason Smith move makes even more sense now. 

Young uns like Meyers, Peters, & Leonard need to bring it.

All this talk about Dirty Mike being so useful at numerous positions and he transfers...? I guess it has to be expected now that someone is going to transfer, become  ineligible, or something every year at camp and before.

He did every year and then never played during the season...except during the 4th qtr of Idaho, Ala&m, et al.

Do you think any of the cornerbacks will move to safety?

I believe Dean, Dinson, and Thomas will also be in the mix.

I'm still calling Whitlow after a few practices.  He has the skill to go to the next level as a Safety not sure he does as a running back.

I'd love for that to happen

Football season is almost here!!

In Gus' presser.  QB's won't go live in scrimmages.  Makes me think they have the starter in mind already.  Wants OL locked down by end of second week.  Rest was typical coach speak.

Bird, I suspect we'll see Thomas as the first man up as Ruffin. If Smith pans out, he'll be the fifth guy. If not, I'd expect Dean or Peters (in that order). Dean just makes a ton of sense with his size.

Dinson is going to play a ton at Nickel, and to my eye, he's a true CB. I feel good about Carlton and Javaris with Dinson, Broussard, and Leonard working behind them. Dean can fit in there, but he seems more like a NB/S. He's a big boy.

Don't forget Malcolm Askew at CB. He enrolled early and went through spring practice.

Would love to have Dean's size, speed, and strength at CB though. It would help a ton against receivers like Deon Cain.

Of that live clip.   One player stood out more that the others and that was #55.   He jogged out to practice while the others walked.     I always jogged on and off the field...   That is a leader to be IMO.
