I never saw the Sherrills hype, even when he was splitting time with Simon and Browning he always looked lost and in the wrong place.

I wish I had a better opinion of this secondary, but I just don't see how we aren't getting roasted on the back end this year. Throw in that we have 3 star Freshmen playing impactful roles who are going to make mistakes and it really screams talent deficiency.

I think it's more a change in coaching philosophy. GP played the older more safe players.
BO hasn't done that. I will wait until is actually see Ulmer play before making a judgement. His is a bigger safety than Mizzou used under GP as well.

Sherrils was the starting SS in 2015 took primary reps over Thomas Wilson. Ian Simon was the starting FS. Browning was never on the two deep and didnt play at all the last month of the season.

Sherrils was one of the best safeties in the SEC in 2015. He cleaned up everything that Brothers and Scherer didn't get.. His play was a major reason MU only allowed 132 plays over 10 yds. They are basing the defense out of the same scheme they ran in 2015. With familiar keys and better play at the first and second level, you dont think these guys will be better? They won't be confused with the 85 Bears but they won't have to if MU can score 30+ a game.
