I think we should really go young on defense.

Jay Crawford should be CB2 if he already isn't.
Kaleb Harris just makes plays CONSISTENTLY.
Malik Blocton seems like a future stud.
Demarcus Riddick is playing better ball in his limited role than most of the LB core, he needs an expanded role.
Cam Coleman needs more touches, but I think he probably just needs to recalibrate and heal up.
Jarquez Hunter needs 15-20 touches MINIMUM every game. Running and receiving. MINIMUM
Rivaldo Fairweather needs more passes too, but he has to make more plays when he gets the chances.

My opinion.

Who else?

It would really benefit us to involve more TEs in the passing game besides Rivaldo.

Perry Thompson needs to take over the flex position, and Rivaldo should only be in the game when they go to the bunch set formations.

Riddick should take over the OLB/Buck reps from Crawford. Crawford constantly gets burnt on outside containment.

Simmons: get some jet sweeps and reverses

Thompson: get him on the field.

Anyone and everyone at left tackle except Lewis

My only question is why Cam? He’s done nothing against a team with a pulse. He’s shown extremely poor effort. He’s directly responsible for at least 2 of Thorne’s interceptions. He loafs and isn’t a willing blocker. He misreads defenses. To me that tells me he needs less playing time instead of more.


And Perry doesn’t need to move to the flex position. He’s in a great spot has a stud on front of him to push him to try to get on the field.

We gotta get over this we gotta make players “happy” to keep them from leaving in the portal. You gotta win games period regardless of who’a feelings get hurt.

From the outside looking in seems we have tried to keep the young WRs happy instead of coaching them hard and holding them to a standard of excellence.

What are the consequences of a drop?

We’ve got other guys. Put them in.

KLS has earned playing time.

Did not mean to imply anything.

Sorry if it came across as less for him or if my message tried to amplify or negate anyone else’s opinion.

I just want to see more Simmons and Thompson.

His blocking effort is a real problem.

Coach is right: Coleman should be on the field LESS. He has been a net negative, having made more significant mistakes than actual impact plays.

Of course, he won't be benched because they are paying him a ton of money and promises were made to get him to sign. This has been a really really bad return on investment so far.

Cobb needs more of a role on offense as well.

I would like to see White or Geriner get some playing time at quarterback. I don;t think the outcome would be any worse than the current 2 win record.

Not out of the norm for a Freshman WR

There is losing and there is getting blown out. It can always get worse.

"The dear can always get dearer, and the cheap can always get cheaper. "

Yall can think PFF is crack but the fact that Thorne leads the offense tells me you're out of bounds. Hell if he was top 5 you would be out of bounds. Do you understand what you want?

That is fine. But he is on the field. He has to produce just like everyone else. If 10 players do their job and 1 screw up, all 11 failed the play.
