Weren’t we after DBs last portal season? I mean we can’t keep striking out getting guys that sit on the bench and never play. DB coaching questionable as well.
Or play the right ones and not the older ones that you trust. Put Charles and Slaughter at safety. Or Turrentine. Most unathletic safeties are the only new we play.
Can’t blame the defensive players and coaching totally either. Heupel has given the other team momentum and points with bad fourth down conversions all year.
Why are we in man on the long qb run, 30 seconds left in the half… Then Mitchell loops around when there’s no other linebackers in the middle of the field. Pure imcompetence
Linebackers are always going to be the weak link in coverage but it’s moreso the safeties have to help them and they are NEVER in position. Georgia’s three big pass plays happened bc the safeties were more than 3 steps too slow and out of position.
we HAVE to find someone who can be physical and run at those positions especially with the open offenses across the country.
Or play the right ones and not the older ones that you trust. Put Charles and Slaughter at safety. Or Turrentine. Most unathletic safeties are the only new we play.
This is why some of us have been calling out the recruiting all week. Need dudes 3 deep and not reliant on leads athletic upper class men with experience. Keep recruiting the way we are this season and we will continue to have these team gaps.
