Unconquered

So much potential......a real talent.....hopefully the light-bulb is on now......

Pretty nice problem to have.

But to be serious, it will be interesting to see if Stoops tries to insert any new packages to maximize our talent on the secondary. IMO, Rhodes and Reid are clear cut starters while there is a lot of competition and shuffling for the 3rd CB spot whereas Joyner and Brooks are the clear cut starters and Los appears to be the obvious backup to both. Not to slight Hunter, Brutus, etc but that's the impression I get.

Just to add some variety and new packages it would be exciting to see some 3 safety sets similar to what UF ran in 08-09.

I think he and Brooks could split time eventually 60/40 maybe.

Karlos and Bracy on the KR team?

Shocking to me that some people, the author included, still aren't aware how good Terrance Brooks is. Incredible.

I really don't see Karlos doing anything other than backing up and excelling on KR this year to be honest. Next year will be telling though.

Watching Karlos on special teams might be the most terrifying and exciting few seconds in college football for me.

Hunter has the inside track at the nickel job from what I gathered. Could be wrong though.

Haven't really seen this discussed, but could Los ever move to LB? I mean, at his size and speed he could pretty much play anywhere on the field, right? If we need depth at LB and already have plenty of safeties...just saying. RB, WR, LB, S - I don't really care, just want this kid on the field as much as possible making plays! Was berated before for asking if he could play both ways, however I still don't see why that's such a stretch, at least to some extent. If he's not a starter at any position, would it be crazy to imagine him taking some limited reps on offense in certain packages while backing up Brooks on D? #wishfulthinking

I would love to see this.

What about the possibility of Karlos coming in to sub one of the LB's in nickel or dime packages as kind a coverage hybrid LB. Stoops has quite a few toys to play with. Either way I think we have to find ways to get this kid on the field.

I will say this one time only: Terrence Brooks (if he stays healthy) is going to be one of the biggest reasons why FSU takes the next step in returning to the days of wicked defense. The "light bulb" that you guys prays that comes on for Karlos, has already come on for Brooks. The playmaking ability of Brooks and Joyner at safety will be second to none in all of college football. I see a huge difference from a year ago when Parks was the other safety. Just from my observations, Brooks makes FSU's defense that more dangerous and suffocating. Scary!

Based on the size, talent, speed, and versatility of the DB's that Stoops has at his disposal, I am hoping that he takes a page out of Ryan's playbook from the Houston Texans. He utilized a dime package when teams attempted to spread them out instead of a nickel. When you have a dominant pass rush with just four, the added DB makes the windows that much tighter to fit a pass into. Plus, it allows for some pretty exotic coverages that would cause a lot of confusion for an opponent.

+1, I agree. I think Brooks could have that 6-8 int kind of season that we've not seen in a long time.
