Quote:Close, but not exactly. Gus is now saying that the starters are Colvin and House, and that in the nickel Colvin will still move inside. The only difference is that Gratz will replace Colvin on the outside.


 

I wouldn't get too worried about this. McCray saw action in the fourth game primariliy because of lack of reps in the priot two games, but he struggled real bad in that game. I think Gus just wants to get a better look at Gratz who it appears has been working on his own game. Just let this play out and we'll see what happens. There's still no doubt in my mind that McCray is one of the best young CBs in this league just as good as the Panthers Josh Norman even if he is now our dime corner. It wouldn't surprise me if the Jaguars have the deepest group of CBs in the league.

 

It is a true reflection of how highly the Head Coach Gus Bradley thinks of Aaron Colvin that he can play both inside & outside at a very high level.  He is known for moving guys such as Ryan Davis from both an inside 1,3,and even 5 tech DT/DE at times.  Last year PFF gave Ryan Davis credit at the end of the season, maybe they will start to recognize Colvin after several games this season.
