Jacob Parrish Says He’s Focused On Outside Cornerback

The Bucs are pushing Jacob Parrish’s brain in different directions, but he’s trying to stay locked in at outside cornerback.
Tampa Bay’s second-year stud corner played nickel last year and had a strong rookie season. But, as Bucs fans know, Todd Bowles changes nickels every year like smart people replace smoke detector batteries.
Parrish made a couple of starts at outside corner, but that was not his focus last season. This year, it is, he said after practice today.
“Just really focusing on corner, trying to learn it better, you know, because I played nickel the majority of last year. So, I’m trying to break down the defense at corner,” Parrish said.
In fact, Parrish said he’s excited to play both nickel and corner because “a lot of people can’t do that.” Legendary Bucs cornerback Rondé Barber often played outside corner and moved inside or sure passing downs.
Asked to explain how much time he’s devoting now in practice to each position, Parrish called it a 50-50 split.
It’s practice. Parrish should be dividing his time, but it sure seems like the Bucs cannot afford to play Parrish at nickel given his talent and durability compared to others on the roster.
Joe will be surprised if Parrish is not a full-time outside cornerback.

Guess Parrish is the outside corner. Morrison is already hurt!

That should be the plan for Scott too. No telling what will happen with injuries -Especially with no depth.

Just work him at outside CB 100% of the time. He is needed there.
Scott will play nickel and if JJ Roberts looks good, Tykee could play nickel if Scott goes down.
I think Morrison will be good but if he’s always injured, we know what good he is.

its good to get the 50/50 reps in now….once the pads come on, Parrish should stay outside with Scott manning the Nickel…
regardless of the seasons outcome, we’ll be drafting a CB high in 27′ lol
GO BUCS!!!!

Naa, Todd will have him playing DE, DT, OLB and Safety most of the time. With some nickel and outside CB sprinkled in.
Confusion is the goal.

Sean Payton just got a new 5-year deal… can only assume Todd Bowles is next!
