Coco Azema a potential Porter replacement?

[Catnap22]

With Porter out Azema might be the best back on the team. Worth a look-right.

for a second, I saw Coco Azema and "Portal". I have to go change my shorts.

NO! He is the starter at safety!

We need his playmaking ability more

Come on, let's get serious.

I’d love to see Tyus take the reins. That’s the best case. Both Clair and Hull have the look of supplemental backs.

It’s fun to imagine packages for Coco, tho. I hope he’ll get to do some damage in the return game.

Not if he is a starting DB

He would be a backup at RB (vs starter at safety) so you lose more than you gain. Plus he is likely too small to be durable. Better choices

I think Tyus will win the role, like JJTBC and Sutton before him. Coco is an interesting idea, no reason he can't play both ways to some extend

Potential for injury goes way up if you try to play him both ways. While a couple plays might work, his going into backfield probably tips off D unless he is in a fair amount as a decoy and that increases the risk

Football season is upon us. Time to leave all the crazy off season banter behind us and talk serious NU football. Coco is our starting safety, not a running back.

Let's hope that if he is successful at winning the role, he is also durable enough to last like JJTBC and Sutton. We have had several in a row that haven't been able to stay on the field such as Larkin, Bowser and now Porter.

And the depth issues don't go away after this year as we only have one RB in next year's class

No.

So for every touchdown Azemo would makes, his replacement on defense would give one up? Sounds like an even trade to me.

Interesting. What would Coach DiNardo do, Gerry?

If he would be starting RB, maybe but he would be a backup so not the trade you think

I believe Coco to be the best back on this team. I saw it with my own two eyes.

He is the starter as DB. He would only be a backup change of pace back at RB. And fortunately it is not important what you believe

How about Minitron in the wildcat formation?

It’s possible you’ll see some of that. I think it’s certainly more likely than seeing Azema moving to RB.
