Had Whitney, who created the concept of interchangeable parts, seen how Walters, who coaches the Irish secondary, shuffles Irish defensive backs around the field, he might have smiled. But Walters wasn't smiling when he was forced to shuffle players around earlier in the preseason after a series of injuries left the Irish with a tem porary depth problem at safety. The Irish coach, however, believes the constant shuffling may help strengthen an Irish secondary that lost consensus All-American cornerback Shane Walton and strong safety Gerome Sapp to graduation. "It goes straight to the philos ophy of interchangeable parts," Walters said. "We want our guys to be able lo play a num- . her of positions." If that desire was only a dream before fall camp began, it became a reality when Garron Bible, Sapp's heir apparent, was sidelined with an injury. So Walters moved Glenn Earl from free safety, where the hard-hit ter started all 13 games for the Irish last year, to strong safety. Meanwhile, Quentin Burrell moved in to replace Bibie at free safety until he, too, was TIM KACMAR!The Observer briefly sidelined with an injury.
