1.   At the least, the Jets expect him to be in on the nickel coverage.

2.   Because they pulled Cris Dishman off their nickel coverages.

3.   Canty has been used mainly in nickel pass coverages, other than the game in Minnesota when he started in place of the injured Jimmy Hitchcock.

4.   Georgia is looking for a third cornerback for its nickel coverages.

5.   He worked with the first unit in nickel coverage on Thursday but was on the second team behind J.B. Brown in all other drills.

6.   Nickel coverage apparently will be a game-long formation.

7.   Percy Ellsworth, who has already picked up more playing time in the nickel pass coverage, would replace Garnes in the starting lineup.

8.   Walker, who was supposed to be used only in nickel coverage, instead was superb.

9.   With Tim McDonald, a perennial Pro Bowl pick, at that position, that seems to restrict Pope to playing in the nickel back coverage.

10.   Worse, cornerback Korey Graham, a sophomore who played in nickel coverage, left the team for academic reasons, Tuberville said.
