I mean he is, but he's the lesser of the two evils compared to Matthews

I would strongly disagree with this. Matthews has flashes and games where he plays really well. He loses focus and lacks the long speed to man up very well, But Raven has never had even an average game. I honestly have no idea what our fanbase's fascination with Raven is.

Davis is playing CB. He and Garner are 2nd team right now. Wiggins is still at safety but he's not making any noise

Raven > Honeycutt.

Raven is GOOD player

this is just wrong. Everyone hates on Honeycutt, but he was nowhere near the liability Raven was this year.

To be blunt (and I'm not normally about negatives on our players), as FS he's supposed to get others lined up and call out coverages. But Raven doesn't know/do his own assignment quite often. He was benched mid-game twice and didn't play a defensive snap vs Mizzou or Duke (he did play STs but Honeycutt played every def snap at FS in both games).

Matthews seems like he gets torched for big plays much more often but I'm probably wrong. Honeycutt seems like a smarter player than both but seems more limited as far as athletic ability :racist: I'm mostly depressed that at least one of those 3 will likely start every game and all three will probably see a lot of snaps this year

He's athletic and fast as hell, big for a safety, and hits like a mack truck, all of which are physical attributes that we've been missing in the backfield for awhile.

But as other posters have said, if he can't put it all together, none of that matters.
