Minkah Fitzpatrick

Heres an tidbit to support Minkah as a FS from Nick Saban (who developed him for 3 years). Saban knows a thing or two about defense and secondaries you could say. Maybe he has a good idea.

Maybe. Have you seen the fact that Nick said this anywhere else besides this one guy? Also, Maybe Saban was posturing for Minkah to get drafted high. Where did Saban play him while at Alabama? lol
 
he has one season to produce under flores or get cut.
he pretty much sucked last season.
 
Miami have a problem at CB/DB/S/FS.

Fitzpatrick/Howard/Jones/MacDonald/Tankersely????/...there are more. But these guys are the nucleus of our defence back 3. Just where do you put each player that is his best spot....
 
Anyone who says TJ or Reshad Jones should remove themselves from this conversation.

TJ and Reshad are both SS... Which is what we have had the last few years. 2 strongs safeties at each safety position. That is why we cant cover worth a damn.

Minkah was supposed to fix that. He is the Free Safety proto-type a sure tackler with great coverage skills like Earl Thomas.

Putting Minkah at SS would be insane. We would literally have 3 Strong safeties... Because god knows TJ and Reshad get burned all day nowadays and cant even cover tightends.

Minkah needs to be back there running the defense moving all around the field diagnosing the play as a true FREE SAFETY!!!
 
coming out of college he was projected as a FS and/or slot CB...its no secret he played his best last season as a slot CB and didnt look great as a FS...but he has all the attributes to make a great FS, and more so, we dont have a true FS..Jones and TJ are in the box SS types this isnt mind blowing info...just too bad our idiotic front office signed 2 SS’s to the team
 
FS would waste his ability and then you would complain that he is doing nothing see second year they played Clemson he was rendered useless at free safety because it is very easy to scheme FS out of the game same reason current FS is not happy you don’t put an elite player in there prime there. And you talk as if a NB is not a huge position in today’s football it is just as important as the SS
