Whats the purpose of the move?

Fr Jake Goins is gonna be a stalwart tackle. Has some of the best feet I've ever seen for a lineman. Rex Ryan would be salivating.

During punting drills, the lineman heckled the punters... but they had glowing reviews for the punter formerly known as "White Lightning".

Is it true Whitley moved to Rover and Exum moved to Free Safety?

Is it true Whitley moved to Rover and Exum moved to Free Safety?

Only for purposes of getting each player experience at the other position just in case of an injury.

Always helps to have a guy who knows what it takes to be successful and is willing to work at it.

I love that DeChristopher is already back and fully participating. A player with his experience shouldn't be set back too far by only missing a few weeks of practice.

Is it true Whitley moved to Rover and Exum moved to Free Safety?

Evidently, that's true...they've swapped positions according to what I'm reading on Twitter.

Interesting.

Very interesting. It has me a little nervous. Why are they making this move with 11 days till kick off?

Per twitter, collegiate times:

Luther Maddy, Ronny Vandyke, Kyshoen Jarrett and Corey Marshall will see playing time this year and will NOT redshirt.

T. Gray on safety moves: "The biggest thing that allows you to do it is Eddie still can really call the defense from the rover position."

Gray said rover for Whitley, free safety for Exum "suits their strengths better," and that Exum can handle mental aspects of free safety.

Interesting. I'm guessing that Gray wants Exum to get the Free Safety game experience prior to the beginning of the ACC schedule and then they might switch back?
