Safeties
Mclaurin...
79 tackles 3.5 tfl 1.5 sacks 6 int 1 forced fumble
Abram...
71 tackles. 5.0 tfl 2.0 sacks 2 forced fumbles
Bryant...
32 tackles 0.5 tfl 1 int
Will landrews and Cole be at safety?
I really think this group could shine next season with shoop coaching them.
-
Pretty stark difference in production between Abram and Bryant, and not in the direction you'd expect with Bryant being the "starter." He improved significantly over last year, but it appears he has a lot of room to continue. Hopefully Shoop can help him take the next step.

Cole's going to get a hard look at CB this Spring I believe
Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

Bryant played very little during the bowl game. I'd move him to corner. I don't know if he's fluid enough. He's stiff

We have to have more than 2. 3 will be on the field a lot of times and you know....they might get tired.....so a couple of more wouldn’t hurt.
You hear those bells mother-fudder....an Air-RAID is coming and that is yo ass!

That depends on the DC. He may use corners instead of safeties for the 3rd Db. Grantham used safeties. I would prefer a corner for better coverage.

Especially against Spread teams. A 3rd Safety is fine vs an Auburn, Georgia, or Bama because of their physicality. But when you play A&M, OM, and others- really need that 3rd CB

Bryant aint catching up to Tyler Williams at CB. Hed be better off to move to LB or stay at S.
Dont think he has the instincts and toughness to play LB. Hes in a tough spot

With Bryant's speed, he is a prototype for free safety. Hopefully he takes another big step up and plays to his potential.
-
You can misinterpret safeties getting tackles. I am assuming it is good but it could be that the ball carrier is down field.
-
Bryant has digressed every year.... he will be a combine star until they start watching tape during evals.....

He was better this past season than 2016. He almost quit during 16

I was really looking at it as the 5th best player of ALL the DB’s. Not splitting hairs, but I think this coaching staff is going to get the best football players on the field and they ain’t gonna care if you’re a senior or not.

The seniority thing is what I hope ends 1st.

Bryant was much better in 2017
i don’t know who Tyler Williams is- but he doesn’t have the experience or speed that Bryant has

Tyler Williams is the DB from Lafayette County who redshirted this year. I don't have inside info on his progress or upside, maybe someone else can help.
