He's good at swatting balls and that's what we need him to do

If he could catch, he'd be on offense?

They said they are moving him back to CB for this game and giving him one offensive package. They then said that he would switch to WR full-time in the spring.

I wish the coaches would just keep him at corner and if doesn't work out at corner move him to safety. I think Derrick Jones could develop into a good receiver but it is the one spot on this team that reloads on talent.

He has the cocky swagger/attitude that you like to see in corners... To be isolated on a teams best WR and on an "island" takes a lot of confidence... And knowing you can beat someone is half the battle

Do we throw him on Cooper right away? Or since he has been on O all season use him as like a nickel back?

I think him on Cooper with Cody helping over top we could really limit Cooper. No way we completely shut him down, but Derrick has the talent to slow him down and contain him to an "average" game.

I want our most physical guys on Cooper and I assume that's what our coaches will do. Throwing a big body like Cooper on him with help over top could contain him better in the red zone than some other teams have. Like you said, no one just shuts him down.

I don't understand why Bama fans keep saying he took it to VH3. VH3 was in and out of that game all day due to injuries.

Situational. With his size he'll be crucial in the red zone.

I'm pretty sure we always stick to one cb on the boundary and one on the field side. They will move him around and depending on where he is our CB on that side will cover him and TC will cover him in the slot. I doubt anyone follows him. It would just be a huge scheme change for 1 game.

As long as we don't end up with DT on K. Drake like Florida did with that LB the first play of the game I'm fine.

Not out of the backfield, not in the slot, but at goddamn split end. That's how I know muschamp will be out of a job by the end of the year.

Yeah, kinda be pointless to move him if he wasn't; just hope he can limit Cooper.

Obviously, he needs to be returning punts for us.
