Corners

Dave Reardon writes that while A.J. Martinez and C.J. Hawthorne will start at corner on Saturday, there will be a lot of rotation going on.

Defensive backs coach Miano said Gerard Lewis, Myron Newberry and Ryan Keomaka performed well enough in practice this week to play tomorrow.

"We don't know who's going to get the majority of the reps," Miano said. "We'd like to get them all in there and see who plays better."

Glanville said Keenan Jones will start the game on special teams. The highly regarded JUCO transfer could get into the game as a corner, too.

Don't forget about our utility man Brad Kalilimoku!

And Jerry Glanville didn't like what former Warrior Travis LaBoy wrote in his "Life in the NFL" column yesterday. Here's what LaBoy wrote along with Glanville's reaction:

"If I had two big-time defensive end prospects as my bookends, I would let them get out there and rush the passer. ... Especially since those two guys are two of the better players on the team, limiting their game is like tying a race horse to a snow plow. I would let them get out wide and play, make plays, and create havoc ... ," LaBoy wrote.

When told of LaBoy's opinion, the steam nearly lifted the cowboy hat off Glanville's head.

"I don't know who Travis LaBoy is, but he's totally incorrect and totally wrong," Glanville said. "Our ends played their best game last week. And whoever Travis LaBoy is, he doesn't have a clue what we're doing. He needs to go get a playbook and start reading it."

Ouch! To be fair, LaBoy did qualify his statement, saying:

But what do I know, I am not a coach.

Jones and Jerry Glanville have more football knowledge in their pinkie fingers than I do.

I guess flattery didn't get him very far! Pretty funny. I'm sure they'll make nice nice. Or maybe he'll slam Glanville in his next diary. Stay tuned!

And Kalani Simpson writes a column on unheralded running back David Farmer.

He's big but he's not another Ironhead. He can run pretty good -- he calls his running style "efficient" -- but he's not Nate. He's not another defensive lineman. There's nothing exciting about him. He has no great story, no home, no hook, no niche. Except that he keeps coming. Except somehow, the guy can just play.

It must not be easy being behind Nasty and The Juggernaut, but they're both graduating this year, and so next year will be the time The Farmer reaps his harvest!
