I certainly hope so. I think Elam (who we signed this year) has the potential to step up big in the future but it won't happen this year as a true freshman. It seems like Chavis favored the longer athletes at CB to play that close man and we just don't have a lot of those guys on campus

The article plays up the 2013 offense and 2014 defense. I guess the 2013 defense just didn't fit the narrative well enough for the article. Or it was the offense's fault that Georgia scored more than 42 points.

Very true. Yet from what I read he is expecting man coverage from the starters, so he is sticking to his guns.
The CB issue is why I don't expect a huge improvement next year.

To be fair we don't know which of our CBs might step up and play well in the new scheme. They've never had an opportunity. There's hope that we'll be pleasantly surprised.
