Unconquered

Rumors were Karlos was having trouble learning the defensive playbook hence the reason he didn't see much action at safety...so he is all of sudden going to pick up the offensive playbook?? Hell it took an injury to get Freeman more carries and he was a EE...I say keep Los at safety as I think he has potential to be another Sean Taylor...

Maybe Brooks is just better, he looked like it this year IMO

So why waste Los talent put him on O

Doesn't matter how good you are if you don't know the plays - this is why I laugh every year when posters say recruit A will be a starter day 1 etc

Is tough and Brooks has the lead and if he plays well you wind up with a great athlete on the bench so why not let him try O

Fair enough we do rotate DB a ton so he probably he gets more PT there

I just think it funny every one assumes Los is the starter next year opposite Joyner but seems pretty obvious to me that if today were the season opener it is obviously Brooks

Brooks was Joyner's backup but he might start opposite Joyner next season...My question is why didn't he replace Parks at some point during the season??

I haven't seen much of waisome yet but having lost mike Harris a nickel situation with Reid brooks and rhodes at cb with Los and Joyner at safety sounds pretty good to me. I don't know where the playbook rumors are coming from but if he can't learn a playbook moving him to offense isn't going to change that.

If he didn't learn the playbook last season, I would have him focused like a laser beam on it in the Spring, and not risk further confusing him by having him take snaps at RB. Plus you know how meticulous Jimbo is about knowing your blocking assignments and running exactly the right pattern as a WR. If he's struggling to learn his natural position I would think he would struggle even more on the opposite side of the ball, where everything is far more precise.

I like him on returns, and if he was brought in here and there to be used as a change of pace for some wildcat or option/reverse stuff, that's a good idea too, but I think if you're going to make Los a jack-of-all-trades, he could still play corner against a team's 1 or 2 receiver, he certainly has the knock-out ability like a LB, and his natural position is safety.

A guy with his size, speed, raw skill, and mean streak, could be used at any number of places on the field, and make an impact. My only gripe here is, why wasn't he redshirted? As soon as it was clear that he needed major time in the playbook, why wasn't he given a shirt? Parks and Brooks played the position all year, and we wasted a year of his eligibility for a big special teams hit against C.Southern, and a punt return against Miami that gets called back

I just hope he figures it out. James Wilder tweeted yesterday about doing major work this winter/spring, because he was never going to be happy seeing that much sideline again. You put a guy from the defense, in front of him in the rotation THIS year, and you have another depth issue....a transfer.

Because Parks was more experienced, and Brooks got lots of reps as the dime corner this season.

Someone asked Jimbo about the defense (specifically hinting at Parks) and his statement was "its not always the best 11 guys", "its the 11 guys who play together the best"

The Safety is the last line of defense, and in Stoops system they have alot of responsibility. You can't just put an elite athlete at Safety and expect them to be an All-American.

Parks and Joyner could tell everyone on the field where they needed to line up. If you watch the ND game, Joyner was lining people up even after he moved over to CB.

Brooks should be ready now that he has more experience, but if Moody is healthy at all this year, he would probably be the co-starter opposite Joyner.

People complain about Moody, but when he is on the field it is usually in run support or playing the underneath coverage in the Cover-3. Its not like Stoops is asking Moody to man up against the opposing teams fastest player and cover them 50 yards down field.
