“That’s a room, we take a lot of confidence and a lot of pride in.” - Franklin on the cornerbacks, he talked highly of Joey Porter Jr a few mins ago and how Porter Jr eliminates one side of the field for opposing offenses.

Asked about Smith Vilbert “Just not available” is Franklin’s answer. He wants to sit down with Vilbert before making any announcements to ensure they’re on the same page and respectful of whatever situation it may be.
 
He also thinks it’s great for Penn State’s pass rush to be able to go up against Northwestern's Peter Skoronski, a likely first round pick next spring.

Losing those two will eventually affect the d line. There is a noticeable drop off between p.j.s unit and vanovers unit already.

Our D line in general is not that good. This could very well be our demise in AA against scUM.
 
Summary of PC. There's a ton of value in this, there's a ton of value in that.........

Have a ton of respectd for this player, a ton of respect for that player,.......

Regarding Vilbert, Franklin said he doesn't want to comment on his situation to the public before he has a chance to talk to Vilbert. Franklin has a ton of respect for "Smith" (imagine that...). Couldn't find him to talk to him for the last month or months? Vilbert is hiding from Franklin? Anyone know where he is??
