Is Deion Sanders rolling the dice by bypassing a designated special teams coordinator for Colorado, or is this “committee” approach actually more common—and more effective—than critics realize? Kevin Borba is joined by former D1 long snapper Joe DeLeon to dig into the hot-button topic generated by Sanders’ unconventional decision. Is this another case of the national media nitpicking Deion, or could the new system elevate Colorado’s special teams performance after last year’s struggles? The duo sheds light on how many high-profile programs have succeeded with similar setups, the importance of aligned sideline operations, and why the real risk isn’t as dire as Twitter might have you think.

Kevin Borba then switches gears with projected defensive starters for the Buffaloes, spotlighting new impact transfers like Vili Tofua, Leongo Lofau, and versatile talent Ezra Christensen. Can a reshaped front seven and an improved secondary turn last season’s woes into a strength? Position battles, spring practice standouts, and under-the-radar contributors all get their due—plus, fans get an inside look at which players are flashing big-play potential early in Well-Off Media footage.

From debunking myths about coaching structures to predicting which new faces will anchor the defense, this episode is packed with insights for Buffs fans eager for a step forward. Does Deion have his best Colorado staff yet? Is the committee approach a hidden advantage? And who’s rising above the noise as spring rolls on? Locked On Buffs has you covered as prime time in Boulder heats up!
