Bowden's Roster Management
Summary
DL/DB: I agree, think we have the guys to run a traditional nickel but maybe if GP was brought on earlier we would have gone after another safety.
NWphan76 said... (original post) I would say a top safety would have been even more of a need since GP seems to focus the defense on safety play.

I agree, think we have the guys to run a traditional nickel but maybe if GP was brought on earlier we would have gone after another safety. Cal got Kingston Lopa from Oregon and I keep wishing we would have got that dude haha. He would be a perfect nickel in gp defense. Would allow us to put Graham back at FS or even put Lopa at SS, leave Geaham at nickel etc... easy to pick apart now but help is on the way haha. I tend to think we are saving roster spots and NIL to attack the transfer portal a little heavier this year. Then you get HFJ and Gavin Williams on campus and a little seasoning on Riordan, Reddick Graham etc... think it'll go from a weakness to a strength. Let's hope they get it together and we're able to see it all work. With Graham hurt I really hope they mix things up a little bit cause our current line up is gonna get cooked if they try and force Kennedy in coverage all game. Nothing even against him. Still think he's great LOS defender but I don't think he's got the juice to stay with some of these guys and im not sure he's gonna have a whole lot of help behind him in coverage. Same with our DLine I think we have the guys we need in every room to at least be competitive but not sure we're putting everyone in best possible spot to get the best 11 on the field. Really really hoping we see some different personnel this week 🙏
