UNT FB Preview: CB

[cl_1_2008]

I like our CB's a lot. One side we have Steven Ford. Last fall camp, before he was injured, nobody on our roster could catch a ball on him. He will undoubtedly be slowed by the surgery. If it doesn't slow him too much, he'll still be in the running for all-conference. On the other side, we have Royce Hill. Royce is probably our most experienced defensive player. He's a good cover corner, but like most of our secondary, he is undersized. Our corners could definitely make an argument that they are the best unit on our enter defense. They are super athletic, but very undersized. Our backups are Freddie Warner and D'Leon McCord. They are both capable players, but I don't trust them near as much as the other two.

Starter: Royce Hill

Starter: Steven Ford

2: Freddie Warner

2: D'Leon McCord

Starter Position Rating: 7.5/10

Backup Position Rating: 6/10

Overall Position Rating: 7/10

Very undersized? I would have to disagree with you there as they are both listed at 6'0" 187lbs. That's probably right on par with everyone we will play.

My thoughts exactly. Oversized corners often means oversized problems in the secondary.

It's almost as if this guy is just shooting from the hip...

He has a very good perspective on the program and I really appreciate all of his coverage! Thanks to CL for some great positional analysis and opinion!

Is that 6' correct? I thought they were both closer to 5'9" which would be smaller.

Where are these ratings from??? 7.5 for instance

Oh, I wouldn't disagree, but our corners are not undersized as D1 corners, IMHO.

Those are his ratings that he has developed from covering the team. Again, I would tell everyone this guy has a good handle on where this team is. I really appreciate and respect his insight into the program.

cl_1_2008 is indeed very much aware of what is going on with the football program.

Freddie Warner over Hilbert Jackson? Interesting. McCarney really seems to like the kids from his own recruiting class. Which is understandable.

or camp proved that Freddie would be a better backup than Hilbert would be.

Or he watches practices, talks to players, and chooses to discuss UNT football related material. I guess we could go back to conference talk or maryland and georgia's uniforms.
