Man I miss these sick jerseys.
Relatively fresh news out of the Miami off season camp, with the annoucement Sam Shields will be moved to the defensive side of the ball. Word has it Randy sees the depleted secondary, the enormous talent and depth at the WR position, and saw this one as a no brainer.
I like the move as well. Shields is 6′0” 186, so he instantly transforms from undersized WR to oversized DB. Add in the fact he will be a senior, and he should be able to pick up the new position quicker than most. Shields played great last year on special teams, and isn’t defense the closest thing we got to special teams?
If the other DB’s step it up in the spring, Sammy boy has the opportunity to redshirt. This would be fucking huge. Give Sammy boy an extra year to perfect the DB position and The U will be dominant. Why? Cause DB’s don’t have to catch the ball – they can juggle it, hit it down, and just about anything so the WR can’t catch the it. Perfect man for the job.
I kid, I kid!
Hopefully, Randy was thinking those exact sentiments in a non-joking manner.
