WANTED: SECONDARY. NOW.

PrintHey, Florida's spring practice starts today. Were you aware that Urban Meyer's looking for cornerbacks? If you didn't watch Chad Henne play Bomberman in the Outback Capital One Bowl, perhaps you could just look at the final pass defense rankings for 2007: 98th in the nation against the pass, meaning we might have been better off at corner by blitzing nine every play and eliminating this pesky "corner" position altogether.
Yeah, sure guys. Stand around. Watch the clouds race across the sky. It's all too beautiful!
There's also the look for this elusive "tailback," but it's good to see Robbie Andreu and the others at the Sun chiming in with our initial caveman reactions watching last year's practices pre-injury: Mon Williams, a darting but mean-running back who missed last year's practices with a torn ACL, may beat USC transfer Emanuel Moody for the starting job. It's entirely possible: Williams looked nasty last spring before getting Frank Gore'd and ceding the job to Kestahn Moore, noted for his generosity towards opposing defenses.

By “Outback Bowl”, I’m sure you mean “Capital One Bowl”. Jus’ayin.

Orson, wasn’t your analysis of the ‘07 Gator secondary something like," they’re swatting at invisible bees or staring into the sun"?

You mean they hadn’t eliminated the corner position last year? Hmm, could have sworn that had for some games.

Careful Rob. There’s only one quarterback’s knob that the otherwise hetero-contingent (family doesn’t count) of swamp rats that inhabit this site are allowed to slobber over. Please direct all cyber fellatio Tebow-ward, be sure to pay the jizz tax as you cross the Florida state line, and remember to collect your coupon for $1.00 off Listerine.

Orson, I think you missed the Florida offseason memo: Emanual Moody is the uber-transfer who will take running pressure away from Timmy. What is this Mon Williams BS?

You AU guys just can’t help it, can you? Its ok..if you are relevant to you..that is all that matters.

I though all non-strategic positions (like RB & CB) were being eliminated with resources invested back into making Tebow taller/faster/stronger/bigger???
Ray Ray from Clemson is available to play CB. Famar, his kid brother, is a chick magnet.

More teams should implement the Jon Tenuta Defense

9-
we gotta chop block ‘em while they’re down…in this case, repeatedly — without mercy or relenting

Emmanuel Moody should have stayed in Big 12 country – this coast-to-coast movement isn’t getting him much.
by DC Trojan on Mar 19, 2008 2:09 PM EDT reply actions
With Moody and Mon Williams at RB taking some of the heat off of Tebow, and Cam Newton playing QB in short-yardage sitcheeaashuns, that means the Mighty Gators can just plug in Tebow at Cornerback. Problem solved.

Hmmmmm….Tebow – the new Ronnie Bass. I like it.

The more I see of Meyer, the more I think UF should have stayed with .

Thank you for responding. You are the perfect representative for the AU fan.

Yeah, we know they (the whole damned defense) sucked in ’07.
The question still remains – can it get worse in ’08?

O – Small Faces reference in the caption?
Nah, couldn’t be.

- - No Bass (Sunshine) was the QB that played corner in the finals when they needed more athletes on D.

NRBQ @ 25
+100 to you
I kind of figured I was the only one here old enough to have picked up on that. Well done!
by StageCoach on Mar 19, 2008 8:18 PM EDT reply actions
That the Gator D sucked should not have been a shock to anybody considering what they lost prior to last season. This point is of course directed at all those doofus AP voters that had them in the preseason top 5. I know it’s all about the Tebow (and Meyer) love, but still…
