The Lions' Pride

Looking forward to seeing Chaz at corner. It's been such a back and forth year for him. Hopefully he finally settles into a position.

More of the 'no tolerance' policy.

Ever since the pee-pee poor tackling against Bama u have certainly been all for it.

Miss a tackle....sit a series. Ask most of the team.

Have a crappy tackling game...you don't start the next game. Ask Morris for one.

I'm so sick of poor tackling I don't care who the player is...and Morris is a fav of mine.

What has Powell done in 3 years to earn seeing the field? Especially at defense?

I sensing great danger. I don't think this is the game for this move.

I have no problem with Powell playing, but how do you go from minimal experience to starting in one week. I rather see him split time with Morris first.

Dont ask me bud.....No where in my post was there any "support" or "dislike" given towards Powell seeing the field.

Im not at practice personally.

I am of the opinion for a little while now that Powell can be a fine player at multiple positions, but I am not sure he will be really good at any single one. That is what i have seen so far. He is an athlete to me right now.

I tell you what he has done, is played. Played in big time games in big time atmospheres. He wont be rattled by any of that. A home game. Tough year trying to get things going. White House or Ghost out whatever they are calling it. Make no mistake, while neither team is in real Serious upper level contention this year right now, this is going to be a charged atmosphere that will certainly be felt by all in the stadium.

If Morris is going to be "punished", for which I dont have a problem with (I dont think you commented on whether you do), then who else would you prefer to see out there at CB to start(KEY WORD-see my last response before this).

I just dont see it as a big deal. He has the athleticism. Our scheme isnt exactly the most complicated in the world. Let him have a crack at it. Maybe we will find out FOR SURE one way or the other if he has earned the right to see the field at that position.

So in summary, I dont have a great answer for you and I am admitting it lol. I already explained I am in no position to say as the only time I have seen him at CB was the Blue/White game and I know how you would feel if I were to use that as a basis(I agree with that lol). Honest as I can be here Bro. :-)

Not sure on who will be at the nickel, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Penn State in its base D most of the time.

I don't see how Powell can be worse than Morris...he has been pitiful. He has better speed than Morris, much bigger frame, if he can tackle...that is half the battle. It isn't like our coverage for CBs isn't something that takes weeks, or even years to understand.

Apparently it is, because our DB's can't cover, even the ones that have been playing for years.

I hope Chaz has a great game and proves to everyone that's where he's belonged for the past 3 years, at least then only the coaches will look like idiots!!

Morris is still one of my favorite players on the team but he has gotten flat-out abused the last few weeks. Something needs to change in that secondary, and I don't mind them trying out something different.
