If we can get the seconadary some much needed inspiration and help, we will win it all.

The blown assignments by the safeties.

The loose coverage by the corners.

The bad personnel decision making by the coaching staff to line up linebackers on receivers.

Playing zone, when we should be in man with split safeties.

Not turning your head around and playing the ball.

Not utilizing defensive timeouts when you have them in your pocket. This can stall opponent drives.

There were 2 or 3 bullshite calls by the refs on the secondary, but it still was a 300+ yard passing night even in garbage time.

Anyone else agree or care to add anything?

Just like to add that our pass defense always gets shredded by good QBs, and QBs that throw jump balls.

Right now our pass rush is our only pass defense. Incredible how poorly Humphrey is playing. Thought he would be one of our alltime best by now. Even with Saban and Pruitt coaching them our All-American DB's cannot play the ball in the air, year after year.
Teams who can slow down our pass rush and throw the ball will have a distinct advantage over us. Ohio State,Texas A&M,Louisville, Clemson; Michigan or Washington maybe?
Man hope we can correct this immediately.

I feel like Hootie Jones has been playing awesome. Jackson has been solid. He's gotten beat at times. Fitzpatrick was very pedestrian until today. Humphrey started out on fire and then has looked like hot garbage since Ole Miss. Harrison has had a couple picks and a fumble return. Harrison is a great box safety. Coverage he's abysmal. Averrett has held his own. Can't complain for what he is putting out. Tony Brown looked solid as hell in his PT he has gotten.

Season grades through 6 games:

Humphrey- C

Fitzpatrick- B

Averrett- B

Jackson- B

Harrison- D

Jones- A


We need Humphrey to play like we know he can. Just going to take mentally playing. He has it physically.

Harrison... I think we need to play him strictly at money. He can't even cover tight ends.

Jones needs to continue to play where he is.

Tony Brown needs reps. I think we need to treat DB like we do at all other positions and play multiple guys.

RB: 4 guys play
WR: 6 guys play
TE: 4 guys play
OG: 3 guys
DL: 8+ guys play
MLB: 3 guys play
OLB: 5 guys play

I thought Hootie was terrible today except for the forced fumble on STs.

Twice I saw him overrun the play when he was in support. Led to a big RAC by the WR. Also missed an easy INT early in the game.
