Amazing what a lock down corner does for a defense

[BigNasty]

McCoy is a future NFL first rounder.

 

[KeyVol14]

He's legit. Ricky Gibson is pretty good as well

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Physical, athletic, and has that dog mentality. Best DB since Berry... Best CB since?

 

[tn4elvis]

I think both our corners are future first round picks. Gibson doesn’t get as much pub as McCoy. There is a reason for throwing at McCoy though. Gibson has his side on lockdown

 

[General Jack]

It’s been a long time since we had this good of play at CB, but they also benefit from our pass rush.

 

[dduncan4163]

Couldn’t agree more. Our secondary was the biggest question mark coming into the season and now it’s one of our biggest strengths. We are a consistent passing game away from some hardware

It does not matter to me where he goes after TN. The kid can play and it’s giving us a good chance to win ball games.

Is Jordan Matthews going to eventually be a major contributor?

Dwayne Goodrich? IMHO McCoy is more athletic.

 

[SamuraiVol74]

McCoy is one of my fav Vol defenders. He plays with great intensity and is just a baller.

Best CB since Jason Allen

Dale Carter was before my time, but grew up hearing how great he was

Dale was a safety

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Dale was a safety

My b, thought he was a cb.

Sounds like McCoy has a chance to go down as the best VOLS cb ever

 

[BADGER_VOL]

Dwayne Goodrich? IMHO McCoy is more athletic.

100% who I thought of. Dwayne was legit. But I agree McCoy may be more athletic and a better hitter. Not by a Wide margin but better.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Everyone in this thread disrespecting Cameron Sutton. He was lockdown too

Jason Allen.

 

[ZippyMorocco]

Congrats on the W. That was awsome

I’m resigned to the fact that McCoy will be gone after 2025. I hope we can get a senior year out of Gibson.

 

[SpookyAction]

There is no weakness in our defense.
They are the best we've had since 2001. Maybe 98.

 

[BigNasty]

Gibson and McCoy may end up the best CB tandem we've ever had.

 

[Firebirdparts]

He's darn good.

I think you are 100% right.

Agreed although you sure wouldn’t think it reading the game threads. As soon as a team throws for a first down, especially if it’s a slant, a small contingent start in on our secondary.
“Our DBs are garbage.”
“Fire Martinez”
“Why can’t we turn and look at the ball like everyone else?”
“Fire Banks”
And so on.
