Florida State football preview podcast: Can FSU secondary improve after losing 2 NFL cornerbacks?

Ingram Smith and Bud Elliott return for another episode of The Nolecast. The focus Friday is on the defensive backfield, of which there are a lot of questions, but also a lot of potential answers. Here is the breakdown of the order in which we discussed the members of the secondary.

  • Very brief explanation of star and $
  • New leadership with Ramsey
  • The puzzle -- 7 pieces, 5 starting spots. Many players with strengths and weaknesses, the best secondary deployment likely involves 7 players playing 350+ snaps or more.
  • Jalen Ramsey
  • Marquez White
  • Tyler Hunter
  • Lamarcus Brutus
  • Nate Andrews
  • Derwin James (How quickly can be get starters reps)
  • Trey Marshall
  • Corner depth: Ryan Green, Tarvarus McFadden, Keelin Smith, Malique Jackson
  • Expecting anything from Colin Blake, A.
