No mention of Javontay Crowe. Anyone know ?

He's been out with a heart condition problem. I don't know if he's been cleared to practice yet.

Crowe is Tank's backup at Nickel. Its hard to say where he falls in terms of SS/FS because not even Tank practices with the 2-deep at those spots (CJ/Chad then Drexel/Sumner). We've done nothing out of our base 4-3 in the spring, so who knows where Tank and Crowe fall on the standard 4-3 depth chart.

Kind of related to this, Dusty and Solomon are the "starting" nickel linebackers, which is pretty cool. The depth at LB is paying off this season.

Oh, and Crowe has inherited the role as the butt of Spangler's standup routine. Its all in fun, but man that dude is always hearing it from Coach. Hilarious stuff.
