FWST Blog: Secondary Re-Shuffling... Scandrick to safety?

[speedkilz88]

Another new name?

I like this a lot less than Summerisfunner, Bob Sacamano, iRoot.

sumerisfunner was his best name, he should never have changed it. They'r getting worse every time.

we need some corners

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

we need some corners

What we really need is a decent FS. Oh well.

 

[GalvestonCowboyFan]

I like it a lot. He's turned out to be one of our surest tacklers, and his coverage skills rock. And, as others have said before, I'm sure there is a way to assign the slot to the FS like Woody used to do.

I know I should have had the chutzpah to post it, but weeks ago I was thinking that this might be a good way to go with the FS position.

Hamlin at SS worries me a bit though.

 

[newlander]

Hamlin at any safety position worries me because he SUCKS. Worst signing of JJ's tenure: or was it T.O., or was it Flo, or overpaying MB3, God hire a GM already dude.............

 

[cowboyschmps3]

Im all in for this move...

 

[gimmesix]

Right now, based on our current personnel, someone come up with a better move.

We need to best use the players we have, and if the landscape changes then we can alter those plans. ... If we're not going to pick up a safety in free agency, though, then we certainly can't expect anyone we draft to be better than Scandrick. We can hope, but that's all.

listening to dallas espn station on line... says Scandrick will start at the "Star" position which will be a hybrid safety/cornerback spot.


???

 

[TNCowboy]

Per Steve Dennis on GAC, CBS 11 has learned that Scandrick will be called the "star" safety, tutored by Darren Woodson.

No, I'm not joking. Apparently Newman wasn't either.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Wow, Steve Dennis is on talking about TO right now and at the end he says Scandrick WILL be a starting safety and that a new position will be created just for him called the "star" position. It will be a hybrid FS/CB position and Darren Woodson is going to personally tutor him on it.

Pretty cool.

This may mean I have to change my mock draft with no SS at 51

:laugh2:

 

[NeonNinja]

Wonder if he's going to play safety on 1st and 2nd than switch to corner on 3rd?

Pretty cool.

CL, what does that actually mean in practical terms?

We don't have a FS anymore? We basically are using 3 CBs on defense for the base defense?

Wade's getting adventurous (sp?).

[Bob Sacamano]

No. But you are a damn fine scout.

it's like the rover position, except for it's coverage based as opposed to defending the run

 

[jblaze2004]

better hope scandrick dont get injured that will be 2 holes created by one injury

 

[Woods]

it's like the rover position, except for it's coverage based as opposed to defending the run

And then I would Hamlin be a SS or sort of like a FS/SS hybid, in your opinion?

Seems like this puts a lot of pressure on our front 7 to tackle esp well.

Hamlin would just be the SS

the position Scandrick fills is like a regular FS, except for he probably will have alot of man-cover responsibilities, as opposed to just playing centerfield
