Is Eli Apple The Starting CB?

I know this thread was about Apple, but a bigger lead provided by the offense allows a pass rush to tee off and DBs to make plays.  It all works together.  

Yes, another post SHRacer where you get me pumped for this year. Gonna be a blast with these weapons and Burrow actually
having some time on Offense. Not even mentioning the running game that should be much improved and help out everything. 

Gonna be a blast on the other side of the ball as well seeing our Defense actually not always put into bad situations cause of 
poor OL play. I expect our play in the postseason to flow into this season on Defense where we are damn good at stopping the
run and putting teams into 3rd and longs where Hendrickson and the Ends can pin their ears back and get after the passer.

With improved LB play with Wilson, Pratt and ADG screens should also no longer be a problem.
