As an aside, it's cool to see how well CJ is playing the run in this video; a big improvement from say two or three years ago. And Frank looks good in these clips. There's a couple snaps here where if Chenal doesn't make the tackle for some reason, Frank is right there, but Chenal does make those tackles, so Frank is just there to help clean them up.

Cool vid. Excited about Leo's future in the red and gold, and not nearly as concerned about losing Gay if and when that happens.

He and Gay play different positions don't they?

Oh yeah. Technically, I think Spags or Daly (some coach on the staf) said that eventually they saw him playing from Bolton's spot, when Nick needed to be spelled, but also in certain situations. But yeah, they aren't playing for the same position. I was just kind of echoing the sentiment in the video that if Gay had to go for some reason, we still have Chenal, who also a pretty athletic LB.
