<B>As for the Price situation, he plays strong saftey, so he is actually third string behind
Nnabuife and Harris. We have a lot of depth in that position. Harper beat out Brent Briggs and Godfrey for the backup FS spot, who werent exactly world beaters IMHO...
For Rushbrook, keep in mind that he was moved from saftey to corner, and I don't know if he has played that much corner in the past. I think he was fighting with Orr to back up K Garrett, and Orr beat him out because he knows the position better. The real surprise to me was that Humphrey beat out Medlock for the other backup CB spot. I think we have some talented depth at CB, which makes it even more impressive that Humphrey won a second string spot. Next year, you would think that Robert Gilmore will be pushing for playing time as well. I think that there is actually a chance that, as great as KG is, we won't miss him next year after he graduates...</B></font><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I would hold off on praising the freshmen until they see real game time. Neither Harper or Humphrey were very impressive in the contact scrimmage. Both Briggs and Rushbrook will be playing by mid season or sooner. Godfrey has been moved to strong safety where he'll share back-up with Harris.One should keep their comments to fact, not observations such as to someone being a "world beater" or not.
