re: Parrish out 4 weeks with a foot injury*

Well he's started over 30 games at 3 different positions in the secondary. So I really hope he's out there.

It's hard to debate on the internet, because people can't follow a simple one aspect viewpoint. I'm not saying that he hasn't played a lot of football for Georgia. I'm not saying he has no value to the team. I'm not saying I don't want him on the field. I'm not even saying I don't want him to play cornerback for the University of Georgia, if that's where he's needed.

What I am saying is very straightforward. I don't think that he has the physical skillset to play high level cornerback at this level of competition. If it can be avoided, meaning either Parrish returns or someone else steps up, I'd rather that we not have to use Davis at that position in the future. Not everyone who has ever played a position, or started at a position, is "SEC quality" at that position, at least not the way I use that phrase.

Is your opinion based on anything other than you remembered he was a walk on?

Yes, it's based on watching him play a fair amount at cornerback for UGA. My guess is that Kirby Smart doesn't think he's ideally suited for that position either, or else he'd have stayed at cornerback last season, instead of allowing Briscoe to struggle for half a year. Davis already had experience at corner, but Kirby moved him to safety and played a guy who continuously struggled (Briscoe). And it wasn't because we had nobody else who could do a better job at safety than Briscoe was doing at cornerback.

I've spent a few minutes trying to explain what I meant in the most transparent way I can. Hopefully it helps you understand what I mean, and you're welcome to disagree.
