🏈 Julio to safety?

[joeman546]

Coach Saban specifically mentioned the possibility in his pressconference. It wont be a permanent switch, maybe a few plays, which he did with another first round wr at lsu.

I just want to know what others think of the idea.

I think it's crazy awesome.

I would prefer to see JJ get 1000 yds receiving and at least 1 TD @ game.

I don't see this going beyond spring or summer practice.

Absolutely

Yeah lets just stick to him dragging whole defenses around on his back lol

Have to admit it would be pretty sweet to see Julio lay out a WR going across the middle.

If Julio never caugh another pass, he still be one of the top receivers because he is, by far, the best blocking WR we've had in decades. Period. I lost count on the number of springing blocks we had last year alone.

In Coach I trust.

Nooooo! Gene Jelks. He was a good RB, they switched him to corner and he blew his ACL early in the season if I recall correctly. I say keep him where he is.

I saw him play defense as a senoior in HS. He was ALWAYS around the ball. He will knock you into the middle of next week without hesitation. The ONLY problem that I saw with him on defense was that he had alot of penalties called on him for pass interference. That could be because he was never coached as a defensive back. He was totally raw and as green as a freshman (at defensive back); HOWEVER, he was ALWAYS making a play on the ball. Also, i never saw anyone get behind him. I'm not saying that it can't happen in college, but if he works out with the DB's, with his work ethic, he will be one of the best. Hands down. I say put him wherever he will help his team the most. It's ashame that our football coach didn't put Barron on defense until midway through his senior year. Mark covering Julio would have been fun to watch. We played Fairhope in our jamboree/practice game a week before the regular season started.
