I think it comes down to confidence for Matt. ![]() I asked one player who he thought would start and he told me this: He added that Monday of next week will likely be the day he determines who the starter for week one will be. It's not time to pick the quarterback this early in camp - it's time to find our (other) players because it's more about the continuity and the chemistry of the team than it is for just the quarterback. Matt Morrissey, a transfer from Trinity Valley Community College has been splitting the first team reps with Day. The incumbent starter from last season, Theo Day is getting a run for his money when it comes to the starting quarterback position. Players Aren't Sure Who's Going to Start at QB, Either If he plays this year, I won’t be surprised - whether it’s special teams or anything. Sapp III told me this at practice later in the day: He flashes his talent. He has moments where I say 'Who's that?' I didn't expect him (to show up like he did). The other is Dalesean Staley, a defensive back from Blue Springs High School in Kansas City. He's a big, tall, strong player, and he's in the mix (of receivers who will earn time on the field). One is Brady McCullough, a tight end from Ankeny High School that's been converted to receiver. Playing as a freshman under Coach Farley doesn't happen very often, but among the recent class of freshmen that have come in, two have caught the eye of Farley and his staff. A Few Freshmen Are on Coach Farley's Radar The nickel has to be good - really smart, great coverage ability, but has to hit like a linebacker and cover like a corner. What I like about Edwin is that he's got a great motor and he's tough as heck. Dearman is a name Panther fans know after he stepped in following Sapp III being ejected in the upset of South Dakota State last season.Ĭoach Farley elaborated on the decision to move Dearman from safety to the nickel and get him on the field: Edwin Dearman Stepping into the Nickel PositionĪnother defensive back of sorts is Edwin Dearman, who has been tasked with taking over for Alfonzo Lambert in the nickel position - often considered to be a mixture of a DB and a linebacker. I haven't seen a room this talented in a long time. The last time we had a DB room stacked like this was my true freshman year with Elijah Campbell, Malcolm Washington, and AJ Allen. This is what Sander - who is returning for his seventh year in Cedar Falls - told me: Follow that with Jevon Brekke who has shown his ability to play a variety of positions and two big transfer additions in Damien Crumitie and Miguel Edwards and the secondary is one of the strongest groups on the entire roster. ![]()
