Like every position you recruit not every player works out plus some need time to develop. Yes we brought in some DB's but we also lost some this year and every year you want new highly rated DB's so getting somebody who can recruit DB's is always needed. He had a history of being good in that area so I pointed it out. The DC that just left and so many are moaning about leaving also thought getting DB's was one of the keys to a good defense in today's game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,679 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 You can never have enough good-elite DBs. We had 4 out there in 2019 and still let Waddle look like…Waddle, because we had one weak link they exploited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They discuss having “too many DB’s” like they’re punters or something. The SEC is a passing league now 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SEC is a passing league now I also don't think we have too many particularly stellar DBs right now with how some of the guys last season seemed meh as opportunity opened up. They'll likely improve with another season of continuity, but there's very few guys right now that tell me "hey, we already got enough dudes in this stable right now" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not bad but....... the DB’s got a lot of work to do Edited February 24, 2022 by Sizzle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj3jordan 2,056 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 At least 1 per game gets ejected, so we need spares for that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
