I know it's been a while since our last look at one of our positions, but I've been on vacation .

Anyways, here's a break down on our defensive backfield:

Safety:
Pat Dickerson R-Sr. 5-10 195
Ryan Greiser Jr. 6-1 205

Ryan Best Sr. 5-11 190
Chris Rocco So. 5-10 190

Cornerback:
Donald Manns So. 5-10 180
Patrick Calvary Jr. 5-9 180


Kent Hicks R-Jr. 6-2 200
Pierre Penn Sr. 5-11 195
Tim Torrence So. 5-8 165
Chuck Duffey R-So. 6-0 190

Al Bailey Fr. 5-9 185
Jonathan Brummel Sr. 5-8 175
Larry Claiborne Fr. 6-1 182
Ron Gerondale Sr. 6-1 190
LaRandale Lee Fr. 5-11 180
Mannie Willis R-So. 5-10 200

It shall be interesting to see the progress of our secondary this year. With Best and Hicks we have 2 guys who have some experience and give us much needed depth immediately. I expect this group to take a good step forward in their progress from last year. We really are legitimately 2 deep at each position without much of a dropoff with the 2nd guy. That's the strength of this unit-depth.

Hicks has already moved into a starting role at CB.

Hicks has already moved into a starting role at CB.

So if he is in who is out?

[Stevev]

Donald Manns is out. Tim Torrence is on injured reserve at the moment and will probably miss the first 2 games of the season according to the last I heard.

[SuperJon]

Manns.

Hicks and Calvary look to be the starters now.

[jcmanson]

Thanks guys. I've heard alot of the receivers speak about Hicks and I was surprised to see that Manns was still listed ahead of him. No doubt Manns will still see plenty of time. I guess he will be our nickel back now.

[Chris Lang]

Torrence has been practicing, albeit with a red jersey so he doesn't take hits.

[PAmedic]

I hear Greiser is gonna be fantastic

and much bigger this year.

will be like getting hit by a Mack truck in the secondary
