A couple of days ago, Shaw told someone that both Shittu and Watkins would definitely play this year. I'd imagine they'd get meaningful reps in the nickel package. I also would bet that one or both will work their way into the base 3-4 defense at DE.
I would be shocked if the starters at safety aren't Reynolds and Richards. Carter would have to do a lot (at CB or S) to have Reynolds or Richards moved out of a starting role. That said, Carter will get his reps.
There is going to be a lot of rotation in the defensive personal. This is something the coaches seemed to try during the first couple of games last year, but we didn't really have the quality depth to pull it off. This year we should.
