Corners

[Mike13]

:cooldude: I think that either Poole or Daniels will be the starting CornerBack

 

[DonShula84]

Edwards and Howard will be ahead of Daniels on the depth chart imo

i agree with Poole but i don't think Daniels will be more then a Dime CB this year if that. Edwards and Howard are both better then he is right now, but that could change as the year goes on.

As I see it Howard is going to be starting ahead of Poole simply because of his experience. Poole moves to nickel and its rounded out by Edwards and Daniels. Of course Sam is starting on the other side. In terms of depth I think we are good and hopefully after Daniels and Poole get more experience they can form a tandem like Sam and Pat did.

Wouldnt be so sure about Edwards...

Dont forget, Daniels is a "Saban Guy"- hand picked. He could have the upper hand on Edwards and I could see it as:

Starting:
Sam Madison
Reggie Howard

Nickel:
Will Poole

Dime:
Travis Daniels

Other:
Mario Edwards

 

[MelbournePhin]

so we wont be moving daniels to S?

 

[WelcomeBack]

Nope, Daniels will be a CB for us.

 

[Dolfan1000]

According to the post-draft PC, no we wont. But as I was watching the draft and got the info on Daniels, that was immediately my thought as well.

I agree, but I don't think Travis Daniels will get much playing time his first year. I think he'll be used mainly for special teams purposes for the most part his rookie season, and until than I see Mario Edwards ahead of him. And also for Reggie Howard and Will Poole... the jury is still out on that one as for who's going to start. I agree with you though that it will probably be Howard simply due to experience and the fact he was playing out of position last year and we want to see how he will fare as the starter. But may the best man in training camp win the job. :up:

 

[UCFinfan86]

i don't think he is big enough to play S right now

 

[DonShula84]

so we wont be moving daniels to S?

Saban said he is playing corner but I imagine that could change. Did Poole ever play safety in college?

 

[Dolfan1000]

Howard was a terrible nickel back- his skills dont suit the position. As a starter in Carolina he was far better.

 

[MelbournePhin]

Nope, Daniels will be a CB for us.

im all for it. too much corner depth cant be a bad thing.

Will Poole, Aka- The Steal Of The Draft In 2004, Please Please Please Start Will Poole

Competition for the right to start can only be a good thing for us. Howard needs to step it up big time after last year.
