Griffin is better than average in coverage. Comparing him to Dwayne Slay is ridiculous. I cant say for sure, but I am very confident that he will be at least one of the 3 fastest safeties at the combine next year. Griffin lays the wood when he can but is also an awesome wrap-up tackler. In the open field, he is the best tackler on the Texas roster, which is saying a helluva lot.
Your baseball metaphor has merit but your basketball metaphor is ridiculous. Comparing a below average player to a league superstar doesnt make sense. I see the arguement you are trying to make, but Nash is just flat-out more talented than Sura.
I know Griffin is pretty fast, and I know he can tackle. I just want a pure "center fielder" type FS.
I was using Nash's style not his talents. Maybe Chris Paul or TJ Ford would have been better substitutes instead of Nash. The point is, they are naturals and can lead their team. I want that out of our FS.
