@JordanJamie @CCignettiIU @jackkwass Sanks, Gandy and Barker in the clip….running with the 2’s? 🤔

[First and Oaken @FirstAndOaken]

Doubling down that despite Z-Man’s experience, the talent of Sanks+Baldwin+Ferrell will win out over course of szn on backend

At 6’2” 210 you see Z-Man as sub package LB in passing situations instead? (+ quality depth insurance at S)

Couple “way too early” 26 IUFB defensive musings/hot takes:

Harris is only CB starter in sharpie

Staff is rooting for S group to be Ferrell/Baldwin/Sanks (w Zachman as veteran depth+
injury insurance)

Burnham role will be I Jones replacement (walked up LB+front 7 ♟️piece)

[First and Oaken @FirstAndOaken]

You have to imagine there are texts 5 years ago between Omar and Josh about breaking school records together. A lifetime in the program has occurred since then, but the dream could be alive?
