per Joe:
This spring, they’ve had junior Jalen Myrick and junior college transfer Charlie Rogers working at nickel. As a fallback, defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys said Murray could move to nickel, as he’s done it before.
“That nickel -- we ask an awful lot of him,” Claeys said. “It’s gotta be a guy who can blitz and tackle. When you blitz, you want somebody who can get there and do some damage; it can’t be too light a guy. But at the same time, you’re asking him to cover some people who run very well, so it’s a tough position.”
