Really glad he and Moseley are set to be EE's. Wish all of our commits were.

EE = big advantage. Huge in getting a jump on development and learning the playbook / system. Not to mention the benefit of (mid-year vs. Summer) acclimation to being away from home and college life.

spring practice is huge

spring practice is huge

Agree. That and S&C are part of "development and learning the playbook / system".

 

[The Breakerboy]

I wouldn't be surprised if he left spring as a starter. Nothing on the opposite side of Sutton is in the way.

Be nice if he were to move that quickly. Coleman to nickel. Gaulden getting reps at both CB & NB. Like it

 

[I4Jay]

Im not even sure Coleman can flourish at nickle.

He is more of a stop gap. Hes not the worst we've ever had but he just dosnt have that dog in him

It didn't help Paul Harris this past spring. North and Smith blew by him on the depth chart.

Paul has got a long way to go physically but it is way too early to write him off.

 

[Il Principo]

If Payne is able to jump in the way Sutton has we'll be set. Enrolling early should be helpful.

Fast twitch

The benefit of EE is unquestionable. Some capitalize some don't.

His feet....they don't move in front of one another quickly enough.

He had some injury problems during the offseason that slowed his development a lot.

Did you watch him on that screen play that went for a TD? He didn't even look to make a play. Just crashed into the block. Meanwhile a freshman looked to blow Cooper up.

 

[I4Jay]

:no:

I agree the way Sutton blew up that play was beautiful.

Isn't part of the problem on the Coleman/Toney play that
Toney is too far off the line of scrimmage and then his bad
angle ? Though I would like better effort from Coleman.

Paul was injured as well and is just now coming back into game shape

 

[Atzar]

To be fair, though, we aren't talking about Coleman much on that play if Toney doesn't take one of the worst angles I've ever seen from a safety.

Agree with your point, though. If Payne (or Gaulden) comes in ready to play, Coleman isn't going to stand in his way.

 

[VolinArizona]

Coleman has been below average to bad all season. I wish I would've said so earlier so my ecred would be higher.

But in all seriousness, people kept saying "don't worry about Coleman" but he's really struggled.

Potential 2 Deep Depth Chart:
CB-Payne/Gaulden
NB-*Coleman/Gaulden
S-McNeil/Kelly
S-Randolph/McDowell
CB-Sutton/Jones
*Coleman's better than Toney or Swafford

That play did it for me with Coleman. He had zero intention of making a tackle, just wanted to eat up a block and hope someone else got to the runner.

Then Cam on the other side could not be blocked when the same play was run to his side.

McNeil has been disappointing to me. Anyone else feel differently?

The secondary so far has been disappointing overall other than Sutton.

Watch the Aaron Murray long run when the two DBs ran into each other.

It's a personnel issue. The play will be improved next year with the players we have coming in. More big plays, big hits, and personal fouls, I hope!

The DBs need that nasty and in your face attitude. They will allow for more one on one coverage and more blitzing.
