Cam Sutton to start?

[Darth_Shiveman]

Just heard CBJ on the radio say that we'll "start a true freshman at corner this season."

I'm not sure whether to be glad we have a freshman stepping up or worried that Riyahd Jones hasn't secured the position.

Either way I'm looking forward to see what he's got in 20 days!

JONES: Some of the frosh will have grown up early. We will start a freshman at corner. I like both young QBs. They have a lot of confidence

Seems the only logical answer to who he is talking about is Cam Sutton, especially with him being the first Freshman to earn his stripe.

lol you just beat me

Good... Overall best move for 2014 for DB position.

 

[utvols74]

Florida, UGA and Alabama start a freshman (seemingly) at DB nearly every year. Don't see we're any different if the talent is there.

I heard one DB's name from Florida so many years, it seemed like he played for Bush's entire presidency.

When all things are equal, go with the young player

Absolutely right. If we can play the freshmen without a significant drop off, do so and prep for the future. Sutton has been a real nice surprise this far.

Ready to see some corners that wont get burned. Hopefully Sutton can step up early

 

[volfanCLT]

I assume we will see Sutton and Coleman at the corners

Was this a "we will" statement or a "we would" statement?

There are still two corner spots, right? So jones might be the other.

Nah. Justin Coleman has that one locked.

Gotcha, did CBJ say so?

 

[SergeantVol]

Uh pretty sure we need a good rotation at corner.

 

[JCLawyerVol]

Said every corner on the team should model their game after Justin. Will be Coleman and Sutton starting, with Jones, Foreman et al rotating in.

That makes me feel a little better.

I really thought Jones would be a starter but I don't care as long as we got a starter that can make big plays. Way to go Cam!

I was hoping Coleman was out of the mix, he has gotten beaten more than a Thai criminal the past two seasons!

Coleman is a good player.

 

[fatvol]

I don't care if they're walk-on freshmen, if they're doing the job, start 'em...And besides, couldn't be any worse than Teague.

It was definitely a "we will" statement. No doubt about it. :good!:

 

[Rockytoptalker]

So I'm assuming the two starters will be J. Coleman and Cam Sutton? Not too bad... Not great though.

What about Rhyad?

 

[Rockytoptalker]

What about Rhyad?

He might be the other starter, I'm just guessing. Right now I'd say J. Coleman might start over him the first game or two, but I wouldn't be surprised if Jones does end up starting.

 

[LotteryPick]

Sutton's a beast. I'm not surprised.
