Moseley has no business seeing the field much this year. No offense to the guy but it feels like he gets hosed at least a couple times a game. Gets great reviews in practice but when it's time to perform on Saturday he craps his pants. Same song different verse every year with him. Don't want to see much of him or Jumper this year personally. They're not players you can consistently compete with in this league.

Or maybe he was not developed very well by the previous DB coach. Maybe Charlton Warren can improve his play and he can be an asset. I definitely think Wiggins starts over him, but I think we will still see a good deal of Moseley and I predict he will play much better this year.

He started from a much worse position though. If I had to pick one, I'd still pick Moseley. Jumper looked good against scrub teams, he's just not a good enough athlete to go against the good teams without their exposing him. At least Moseley has the speed to make a play once in a while even against the best players.

He played his best games against Florida (8 tackles), Georgia (11 tackles) and A&M (10 tackles and an INT).

Jumper had good games against UF and A&M.

It's not a coincidence that this performance started declining when our DTs starting getting hurt. Saying that I hope we don't have to see much of him this year. DK, Bituli, Sapp, McDowell, and Smith should all be ahead of him. I don't hate having him as quality depth though.

I'm not a Jumper apoligist, but I thought his best game was against Florida. I think Jumper is a very capable back-up LB. I would prefer that Jumper gets 10-15 snaps a game and does NOT start.

I think UF offense would fall into the scrub category lol

He got exposed quite a bit against A&M. UF has a terrible offense. He can make tackles when they run right at him, but when he had to pick someone up they were easily getting open.

Go rewatch the games. Jumper was all over the highlights. Coverage, tracking a ball carrier, 3rd down stops. It IS possible to improve with another year of training, studying, and maturing. I think everyone saw this with 53 last year if they paid attention

This.

You can't look at at stat lines and see the full story. Where were the tackles made - at the LOS or 9 yards downfield? You can fall off a block because a RB runs right beside you and get in on a tackle that gives up a lot of yardage. You can blow your coverage assignments and there is nothing in the stats we receive to reflect it. Did you stand up a blocker at the LOS and help teammates make tackles for little gain? That almost never happened. No stat for it. He would pleasantly surprise for a handful of plays. He has never been a dominant force that the OC's had to scheme around like Kirkland and JRM when healthy. That should be the expectation at UT. If he can meet that expectation, he should start. If he continues as he has, he's depth.

On E-Man. I have no idea how he will improve or not with CCW. I suspect there will be good improvement, but him starting as the season begins is probably not in question. Who was one of the players repping the team at SEC Media Days?

This all day. It really isn't even debatable, if you key in on the position while watching. He did make a few plays but they were the exception. I think he can still get better, but it would have to be significant improvement for me to not cringe seeing him on the field.
