Tisdale is 6'3 and 210 on Hokiesports while Conner is 6' and 214. Conner absolutely has a heavier shoulder and is pretty good in coverage to boot so the idea is Tisdale's height could better cover TEs?

IMO I think Tisdale should take Dax's spot today, yesterday, and tomorrow. He's just a better player for what we required from the backer with Bud.

I would expect we see Conner at Rover though regardless, the Hunter loss is absolutely massive as there is no backup ready to start at that position. Walker is a talent but he's a freshmen under a new DC with no spring ball to develop.
