Kenny Phillips...CB?

[fenikz]

Since the Canes have Lovon Ponder & Anthony Reddick, do you think there is a chance that Phillips moves to corner?

how would this affect his draft stock, id only assume it would go up if his play is consistent

[critesy]

is he not the best safety they have though ?

[Newbs24]

Reddick is gone for the year with an ACL tear. That gets rid of this debate

[fenikz]

didn't know that, well thats ends that possibility

i was hoping for some more helmet swingin action

[OhioState]

anyways Phillips is the best saftey that they have by far and the coaches will always let their stars play their natural position

[DChess]

maybe one of the other guys, but you dont move phillips, top ten player in the country right now

[Jimmy]

Reddick is gone man...

[draftguru151]

The coaches were thinking about putting either him or Reddick at CB, but with Reddick getting hurt again Phillips and Ponder will stay as safety.

[-black]

is it true Reddick injured himself by playing pickup basketball?

isnt kenny phillips like 200 lbs?...i ask becuz i seen someone on a post say he has the body of sean taylor and i didnt think he was anywhere that big

[jbeans187]

He's probally between 205-215. Not nearly as imposing as Taylor, but hes still a beast.

yea...i thnk he is def the best in the country...but i didnt think he was anywhere as big as taylor

[fenikz]

reddick might miss the season and even if they do move phillips you know wat do u remember the duke game this season he played CB and tied the school record for most interceptions in a game with 3 interceptions honestly they will not move him because glenn sharpe is back and he will start and randy phillips will start to and they have bruce johnson(kelly jennings nephew) playing in the nickel and dime coverages with chavez grant

and u shouldnt forget willie cooper i still remember the game against duke this season he saved us with that game winning INT

SS:#1Kenny Phillips
FS:#35Lovon Ponder(this guys got a good freakin arm man)
and if #26reddick is back in time he will split time up with #28cooper
CB:#4Glenn Sharpe
CB:#6Randy Phillips
#22bruce johnson and #24chavez grant will split time at nickel and play on dime coverages together.

UM coaches say he has "the body of Sean Taylor and the knowledge and speed of Ed Reed." i said that on an other board and its true u might not believe it but he is better than sean taylor

sean taylor played 9 games with no starts first year 26 tackles no interceptions

sean taylor played in 13 games with 12 starts had 4 interceptions and 85 tackles in his second year

in his final year he played 12 games with 12 starts he had 10 interceptions with 77 tackles

Sean taylor all college years:188 tackles 14 interceptions

Sean taylor first 2 college years: 111 tackles and 4 interceptions

kenny phillips just in two seasons has 5 interceptions and 159 tackles

kenny phillips first year in college: kenny phillips played in 12 games with 11 starts and had 88 tackles with 1 interception and the interception won the game in a triple overtime with clemson.

kenny phillips second year: he played in 10 games with 10 starts he missed three games with a major thumb injury he had 71 tackles and 4 interceptions (3 of those interceptions came in one game against Duke)

i know sean taylor in overall career beats phillips but if you compare the first two years phillips is a lot better.

sean taylor could have had a 3 interception performance in the national championship but on his third interception maurice clarret stripped the ball away from taylor that was one reason how we could have won that game if taylor just kneeled down when he was in the back of the endzone.

P.S. the 2002 national championship was rigged Miami should have won.

Oh and one more thing Phillips is around 205-215 pounds taylor was bigger in his first two years but phillips is a lot quicker and better i heard a rumor but it might not be true we will see when he is on the field if its true that he is spending a lot of time in the gym and he might be bigger than 215 pounds and he is definitly stronger than last year (alot)

Calais Campbell put on 20 more pounds than last year and he stronger and faster than ever before this is true i read it on scout.com

randy phillips the cornerback is not even related to them
remember tyrone moss and sinorice moss they are not related ether

dont think that if there last name is the same they are related.

they didnt let meriweather stay at safety if he stayed at safety he would have had an even better senior year.

[draftguru151]

Bruce Johnson is like the 5th CB at best. Grant, Wiggins and Armour are all over him.

[Geomar]

Grant splits time with him there is no definit nickel CB Wiggins is not even looking good in spring Ball they might redshirt him and armour is gonna be the 5th CB he was the 5th last year and i heard he has not improved a lot.

[thebow305]

If anyone were to be moved to corner, it would have been Reddick. He played corner at my high school. He is a much better safety though. It would be a dumb move if they did it, he was not a dominant CB by any means at STA. Just decent.
