WANTED: SECONDARY. NOW.
Hey, 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?

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.

Emmanuel Moody should have stayed in Big 12 country – this coast-to-coast movement isn’t getting him much.

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.

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

Because They Can says:
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…
