Would you trade corners with OM?

[57stratdawg]

Redmond and Calhoun vs Shepherd and Bridges?

Tough call IMO.

 

[msstate7]

2 proven vs 2 unproven... No

I do think om's will be good though, but there's always a chance they'll crash and burn

 

[121Josey]

Redmond and Calhoun vs Shepherd and Bridges?

Tough call IMO.

Why is it a tough call?

 

[DogSquid72]

A 3.5 year starter for Shepard (who hasn't played a down) and the top senior CB in the draft for Bridges? No thanks. I'll take Houn and Redmond every time.

 

[treeddeep]

??
Usually I'm right there with you strat but you've lost me on this one. IMO I'd trade Redmond for one CB in the nation and that's Hargraves (sp).

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

Hell, I wouldn't trade Week-old Country Convenience Store Sushi with them.

 

[HD6]

Would you trade quarterbacks? They signed the nation's top JUCO. And he has FBS experience.

 

[ShrubDog]

I would not trade our corners for theirs. Heck I would not trade Staley and Fitz for Patterson. The chances of Patterson turning into a great QB for them is about 10% if history repeats itself.

 

[57stratdawg]

This isn't nearly as open and shut as yall made it out to be.

I doubt there is any OM fan that would trade with us. Redmond is 2nd team All SEC, Calhoun is an okay player. He had a nice Soph year, but I'm not sure he's a draftee at this point.

Their guys have a higher ceiling IMO. Especially considering their both JRs and might return next year (although I hear Tee is leaving either way at the end of the season).

 

[msstate7]

Why do you think their guys' ceiling is higher than Redmond's? I disagree

 

[treeddeep]

Redmond will be drafted higher that Tee. If not, I will gladly eat a plate of dogshit

 

[thf24]

I watched a few replays this weekend, and I think many of us have either forgotten or don't realize just how good Redmond is. I'm not sure I'd trade him alone for their two starters.

The only reason you don't like Calhoun is b/c he was a 2 star out of high school. If Calhoun was a 4 star, you would probably think his ceiling was higher. Calhoun is really good corner, physical, and the guy from NFL draft bites likes him. I think Redmond will be a 2nd round pick, Calhoun will be a 6th round pick. I have no idea if Shepard or Bridges will ever be drafted. Shepard may do something stupid between now and game 1.

 

[HD6]

You sound like Neal McCready when he said he would rather have Shea Patterson than Dak.

 

[57stratdawg]

That's ridiculous. Are you sure it's not because we were 117 in the country in passing D last year? Everyone threw all over us even with healthy safeties.

 

[57stratdawg]

You sure you don't want to make another comparison on how quickly it takes to pick up QB vs CB in college football?

 

[HD6]

I'm just saying, higher ceiling was his argument too.

 

[o_kcdawg]

In fairness, the pass d was ranked so low mainly due to scheme and constant substitutions.

 

[57stratdawg]

I didn't hear that.

I heard him say that he would only trade Patterson if he thought the new QB was good enough to make them National Title contenders, and he didn't think Prescott was that caliber. He went on to say they were more than just a QB away from a playoff birth this year.

 

[HD6]

Isn't that a fancy way of saying he thinks Patterson has a higher ceiling than Dak?

And he's wrong. If Dak was at Ole Miss, they'd be the favorites to win the conference.

 

[57stratdawg]

I took it to mean "We're not close enough to win it all with Dak for me to mortgage the future of the program." I don't think that's saying "Patterson is better than Dak".

But I agree - he's wrong - especially with what I'm expecting out of him this fall.

 

[fishwater99]

Horrible scheme last year. Way too much zone prevent defense.
Manny will bring the heat and we will get dime INT's.

Some guys just need to stop reading all the Bear propaganda.

 

[Vice]

Redmond will be drafted higher that Tee. If not, I will gladly eat a plate of dogshit

Can we pin this to the top of the board at least until draft day please?

Yes it is and you are full of ****. The TSUN CB's do not have a higher ceiling individually nor are they a better package. I don't doubt that TSUN wouldn't trade with us.

I'm interested to watch Tee Shephard this year. Redmond is good but he does

things sometimes that make me scratch my head like that non tackle in the EB where he knocked the crap out of the guy and didn't lock up which was a one of the big reasons we lost.

 

[johnson86-1]

Redmond and Calhoun vs Shepherd and Bridges?

Tough call IMO.

It's not tough because it's not like either school is in a position where they can't consistently recruit good corners. If you were a CUSA school, yes, take the 3 years of highly rated recruits. If you're in the SEC, you always have guys with potential coming through the program. You take the proven commodities this year and then go with the potentially good guys next year.

 

[engie]

How did you reach the assumption those will be their starting corners? Webster will have something to say about that...

Not only would I not trade either of our starters for either of theirs, I wouldn't trade Stamps either. Since it's essentially a star watch at this point with him and both of theirs....

 

[KurtRambis4]

Trade our SEC vetted, highly proven

corners for their prospects? No.

 

[tcdog70]

Tee had 1 interception in JUCO his last year. Scooba lit his *** up. Thanks but I'll take our two dawgs. The proof is in the pudding

 

[J. Noble Daggett]

I think he said

Isn't that a fancy way of saying he thinks Patterson has a higher ceiling than Dak?

And he's wrong. If Dak was at Ole Miss, they'd be the favorites to win the conference.

that he wouldn't trade three years of Shea for one year of Dak.
