Defense: Biggest Questions Going into Camp

[skinsfan69]

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.

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.

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