The House of Blue

Matt posted this on the board this AM.

Tend to agree in this case Dakotah won't make a big impact.

1. We've replaced him w.o missing a beat with Neloms and Benton last year. No signs of Neloms moving to CB, even though this may give us flexibility to move Neloms to CB if things don't pan out with Caffey/Rice.
2. We've also got some depth (unproven) built up at safety in Faulkner and possibly Dixon if he goes safety vs. CB.
3. In brief snaps 2 years ago..Tyler is a solid athlete, but not elite or freaky...and didn't look instinctive out in safety like Neloms looks like at times.

Always nice to have some depth, but barring a ton of injuries...I don't see a big impact going forward.

Guys i'm not on here to argue but I do disagree alittle... I 100% agree he didn't look like a Bacari Rambo 2 years ago in limited play but one thing is certain, he runs very well and hits very hard. If he can get back on track this could allow us to redshirt Wright, and maybe a few others like Harris and Zack Blaylock (big maybe)... He's also one more very athletic special teamer... Here's a kid with 4.4 speed that can cover kicks and take your head off, I love it that we got him back... No he's not 6'1 215-220# like Ashley Lowery but he's a kid that fits the free safety position in our defense pretty well (up in the box and covers the slot at times)... I could see Tyler playing Bentons' position pretty well. I think it's great we got him back, another very capable SEC athlete to add to special teams, I love safeties that play bigger and are very physical...

Tyler stated from the very beginning that he would be back. He has kept his word and in today's society that is very commendable. I for one am proud he is a wildcat and I think he can be an example to others who are having similar difficulties. He has shown he has work ethic, determination, and self pride. I am excited for him and hope he has great new found success.

What?

I think he helps because it gives us another body that we can potentially move over to CB from the S position. I'm not saying he is moved but of the current crop it allows someone to move over to a position in need of bodies.

C'mon guys he played as a freshman so you know he's capable. It's ok, you can get your hopes up a little. This is definitely a plus, as he was aggressive and will fit in better in Minters system IMO.

This. I wasn't saying he isn't physically capable. It's just that it rarely works out when guys are dismissed from the team and let back on, especially when they miss am entire year of football.

He is a fine athlete, very fast and he hammers people. You have to give him credit for working his way back onto the team. The guy is a player. I think he makes the rotation and contributes on specials and as a DB. He allows us to RS a true freshman and depens the talent pool while keeping us involved with a talent rich program in Indy in Pike HS.

We have plenty of bodies at Corner - young for sure but talented.

What? If the story said he left for personal reasons why would you think he was suspended? Doesn't make any sense?

No, it doesn't. Stop making shit up. "Stuff" being that it looks like a one year suspension. The information given was "personal reasons" and there is nothing to indicate otherwise. When there is nothing to indicate otherwise, saying that it looks like something else is making shit up.
