    He was the guy I was hoping would step up. They still need to keep the competition going cause Clemmons still needs a lot of reps and can't afford to let up.

    That is pretty impressive. I figured Culver would have the job by now.
    That said we still have a lot to go through before he has proven he is the guy.
    Then again to be an upgrade over Gibril doesn't take much. :up:

    The kid took pretty decent angles for a rookie, what I see is that he does keep things in front of him, good tackler, and once he get's the game down, his speed and athleticism will allow him to arrive at impact quicker..

    He's got to protect our goal line, keep everything in front of him, and allow Ybell to do his thing between the hashes. If he can do that Ybell will go to the Pro bowl again, this time not as an alternate.

    Pretty decent being the key phrase... it just looks to me like his angles are usually going downhill..I see a conservative player...but what I like is that he has great speed, and if he can just play it safe for a while until the game slows down, his athleticism should eventually start to flash more consistently.

    At least one of the Clemson picks is doing his job and not beating pregnant women.

    Its good to hear that he is doing good. But remember that he has Jones, doing pretty good as well, breathing down his neck so this competition is great.

    We'll see when the pre-season starts which one will pull away. Don't discount Jones just yet. Especially when he is being a ballhawk in camp.

    Jones being a ballhawk and Carroll as well in the same secondary...man if they can translate this to games and not just practice, its going to be fun to watch the INTs all over the place.

    Very surprised by the low mental error rate, considering he was one gigantic error on the field in 2009, albeit hidden by the shadow of Gibril Wilson's colossal implosion.

    Definitely someone to keep an eye on in the preseason games.

    I don't see how it could be many if he's only made one mental mistake

    In retrospect I think a lot of that had to with scheme, our Quarters formation didn't fit this team. Both of our safteys played like SS`s. I think that was Pasqualoni`s doing. With Nolan I think the scheme will go back to being more complex like under Saban.

    That's right I forgot you were the one who called Clemons a bust or was it Jones or both?

    I was (and still am) hugely critical of Chris Clemons. At one point I thought Clemons was the worst player on the team, surpassing even both Pats, Jason Allen, and the marginal guys like Lionel Dotson. If I were GM, Earl Thomas' availability at #12 would have sorely tempted me to pass on that trade down with San Diego.

    As for Reshad Jones, I actually think he has a future at SS as Bell's long-term successor. I don't see the instinctive ball skills needed to be a quality FS, but I do see a level of physicality that could make him an intimidating hitter at SS. It was a little frustrating to hear that he's being tried out at FS.

    My fear is that the "two strong safeties" concept came from the top. Sparano placed far too much emphasis on stopping the run last year, IMO. Games are won and lost with good passing, not good rushing, and our schedule last year put us up against some quality passing teams. It just didn't work.

    I'm glad that Sparano is talking about pass rush and pass defense this year, and hasn't really mentioned some of his pet stats, like time of possession. He seems to have learned his lesson after watching the way the Colts and Saints, and to a lesser extent the Titans and Texans, utterly dismantled us with efficient passing.
