Kind of surprised to see Tyrann Mathieu starting at RCB. I thought Tharold Simon was going to start opposite Morris Claiborne and that Mathieu would rotate is as well as play nickel.
I agree totally, especially since we saw simon in as a replacement for PP last year when he was cramping up. I am, however, extremely excited to see Mathieu return punts; I cannot wait.
In this game we will be in a nickel most of the time. TM is the nickel back per the chart so Simon will be out there a lot. All of our DBs will see action.
So is RR ready to breakout? My classmate says he's chomping at the bit for some action. I've thought, since watching him as a 10th grader, that he would be great. I know the QB has to get it to him, but I want to see him have some Whoolio, AJ Green, Blackmon, Alshon Jeffrey like success...good reports from practice?
Yea, I remember seeing an interview saying that they will be in nickel virtually the whole game against Oregon to try to keep up with the tempo/speed. I would expect Mathieu out there almost the whole game also due to the fact that Oregon generally doesn't allow time for subbing.
