We are going to play a defense that emphasizes speed/athletic ability over the tape measure. We are going to have a Chris Hayes style nickel back.
Now Calvin Green is moved to CB. We all know he is the fastest kid on the team. Priester might argue otherwise. We all know that we have depth at receiver, real depth, not just bodies, but zero at CB, particularly CBs with high end speed. He becomes the fastest DB we have had in a long, long while. Let's face it, you can't compete in this league unless your DBs are as fast or faster than the WRs they cover. We have been trying for years, unsuccessfully.
Here is what you probably don't know. Calvin Green was a Sacramento Bee all Metro League first team CB, not WR, Max Prep All San Joaquin Section first team at DB, not WR. He who had 7 ints, 113 tackle, his junior and senior years. He was a very good high school WR/returner, no doubt, and you want speed at WR, but he was the best CB in all of Central California in high school. This kid played, barely, last year at WR, when our secondary needed so much help. That is a head scratcher. But that is all behind us now -- the most accomplished and fastest CB Leach has signed at WSU is finally playing in our secondary.
Hard not be pumped over this move. Let's hope that Calvin is to our secondary, what Keith Millard was to our DL.
