I think the questions are still at safety. Not sure Swearinger is a free safety. Cravens isn't. I still think we may struggle there.

[quote=Chico23231;1171914]Blown assignments seemed like part of the Barry strategy last year. How else do you explain constantly giving up 3rd and 15 1st downs? It happened time and time again.[/quote]

At what point do the players take responsibility for that? Was not a fan of Barry but if the players don't know what to do on a coverage, or know how to play the coverage then that's their fault.

Agreed.
But it's also up to the coach to keep control of the room.
A football team is full of strong personalities, if you're not able to manage them, you're not a good coach.

[quote=Schneed10;1171901]Have to mention safety, too. Swearinger should be a definite upgrade, he's got some range and has played well of late. The big question is Cravens. If he plays well too then the secondary becomes quite a bit better. Can he stay healthy?[/quote]

I think Cravens will make a fine SS . I believe he played very well at USC his Freshman and Soph yrs as the SS .
