I wouldn't mind seeing a couple corners rotate in at safety as well. Our best DB's should play even if that means that when there's only 2 corners, we use them as safeties. I think Countess is poised for a big year. If our D Line can get some pressure on the QB, watch out.Blue Nationnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-57756338032645004202014-08-21T15:23:59.375-04:002014-08-21T15:23:59.375-04:00I'll sign the petition you send to Hoke for th...I'll sign the petition you send to Hoke for this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-75196521454789131232014-08-21T14:01:41.512-04:002014-08-21T14:01:41.512-04:00Countess quietly had a great year last year.

It seems like teams always targeted Taylor, Lewis, or Stribling instead. doctor_kazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458070069087074669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-57881020799750846812014-08-21T11:56:39.860-04:002014-08-21T11:56:39.860-04:00Agree, benching Countess makes no sense.

The real question isn't Peppers over Countess its Peppers over Jeremy Clark, which I think is a much more compelling argument.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-24673851992576216862014-08-21T11:44:04.557-04:002014-08-21T11:44:04.557-04:00This just goes to show that sometimes, not knowing...This just goes to show that sometimes, not knowing who the starter is going to be is very good, and sometimes it is very bad. Here, it a question of whether two young guys have improved past an all Big 10 corner. On the OL, it's whether anyone is capable of playing the position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-4243594297184954092014-08-21T10:16:39.802-04:002014-08-21T10:16:39.802-04:00You are right about no one being able to understan...You are right about no one being able to understand what the coaches are planning for DB rotations in games. That is one position group where I always have trouble understanding the coaches' thought process. The last couple years, we have seen guys get major playing time in one game, and then disappear for the next few without an obvious indication as to why. Regardless, I am sticking by my prediction that these CB's will look very good and that Countess will still make an impact, even if he has to share more snaps. I do think Countess will get a good look by the NFL.Painter Smurfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-30890417106332331612014-08-21T09:59:57.899-04:002014-08-21T09:59:57.899-04:00" I have a very hard time believing that an A..." I have a very hard time believing that an All-Big Ten player who made 6 picks and earned the #2 jersey from a fairly stingy coaching staff will be benched"<br /><br />YES!<br /><br />Categorized under "I'll believe it when I see it."<br /><br />I'm excited about our CB situation. It makes me excited about the defense as a whole, and even the team. The down years under late Carr and Rodriguez seem to be over, and they make you appreciate what this secondary can be a little extra.Lanknowsnoreply@blogger.com
