Quote from Patrick Peterson on Mo Claiborne. “Young guy, Morris Claiborne, is gonna be pretty good. He’s just gotta get in there and learn the schemes … Right now, he’s pretty good with the press. He can run with anybody, he’s got world-class speed. I’m excited to see him play, more than he’s excited to see himself play.” we may have the 2 best corners in the SEC next season.
It will be a battle between Downs and Pep. Pep is getting the upper hand right now with Downs not practicing right now. Nevis is obviously the other starter. Brockers will get a lot of PT in the rotation as well.
I think LSU is better off starting Nevis/Pep and rotating in Downs, Brockers, and Davenport. All will see a lot of PT. The reason I like Nevis and Pep to start over Nevis/Downs is because we then have more size early on when everyone is fresh. At the end of the game I think Nevis/Downs are the guys because of their quickness. I like how LSU rotates their DL, one thing they do a great job of. I think Aghayere and Edwards have a ton of potential. Although neither is the super quick edge rusher weve had in the past. Its more like '03 with Spears/Hill and having two big DEs.
I really like the move putting Eugene at Safety. I have been hearing that Patrick Peterson is excited about having Claiborne starting at the other corner. Jai never had a problem tackling, but he struggled in coverage, hopefully this move will work out for him. Oh and Mastermind i guess you were right, about Claiborne being the other starting corner, kudos man. I have also been hearing that Peterson will be returning punts this year, and Shepard, Randle, and Rob Brooks will be returning kicks. Anyone else hear this?
i would think shepard would have the skill set most suitable for PR--hands, shiftiness and speed. id also be a little scared having randle on KR.
Im happy to see Shepard on special teams, although I feel he is tailor made for PR. Super quick, with electrifying moves. Should be interesting to see Peterson back there.
