In a couple oof hours I will be taping this week’s Red Rain Podcast. In this episode, I want to begin by expressing some concerns about Colt McCoy, Isaiah Simmons and Jonathan Gannon.
I believe that playing deep cover safety in a Cover 1 or Cover 2 is one of the most difficult assignments in all of sports. Thanks to my childhood idol Larry Wilson, I vowed to play free safety in high school. I finally got my chance to start as a senior and let me tell you, virtually every offense is designed to put the free safety in what’s called “no man’s land” —- typically caught between a TE over the middle and a WR over the top.
