I went a little overboard but no one is going to convince me he didn't play well vs Arkansas. What type of assignment would have 1 of our 2 lb's not involved in stopping the run vs a team like Arkansas?

Well, they only ran the ball around 25 times.

Here's a quick breakdown of the first 4 possessions...

1st possession
Run to CM's side (RT off tackle) (weak side) - Frost was on the strong side
Pass - Frost almost picks it off on the deflection by Jones
Pass - Allen scrambles to CM's side (weak side) - Frost was back in coverage
Punt

2nd possession
Run to CM's side (RT sweep)
Run up the middle - Frost was sealing the RT edge of the LOS - chased him down, but whitehead made the tackle first
Run to the RT, cut back to the middle - Frost again blitzed to seal the RT side of the LOS and actually was responsible for the cutback
Run up the middle - Frost was sealing the LT edge of the LOS on the wide side
Run up the middle - AB & JG stopped it at the LOS, Frost was the next man there from the LT side
PA TD pass to Henry - Frost blitzed the RT side and hit Allen right after he threw the ball

3rd possession
Run up the middle - Frost attacks the RT side of the LOS
Deep pass - Frost drops into coverage
Pass called - Frost covers the RB to the RT side out of the backfield - Allen scrambles up the middle
Draw play - LG got a helmet on Frost on the second level
Run up the middle - Frost again seals the LT edge of the LOS
Pass - Frost blitzes the RT side - RT tackle handles him
Pass - Frost & McKinzy blitz down the middle - RB takes him down low - the pressure causes Allen to scramble to the RT and throw it OB
Punt

4th possession
PA pass - Frost covers middle of the field - pass to RT side
Run RT off tackle - Frost playing middle of the field - LG gets to second level - run stopped at the LOS by the DL
Pass - Frost blitzes off RT side
Pass - Frost covers RB
Toss to the LT side (weak side) - Frost covering strong side - play stopped after a gain of a couple
PA pass - Frost blitzed from LT side - him and another player put pressure on Allen
PA pass - TD to TE between the safeties



I'm not going thru the rest of the game, but Frost's responsibility that game were clearly to seal the edge, blitz the QB, and help in pass protection. And all this talk about Arkansas being a running team is just silly. I mean they are one, but in their first 4 possessions, they called in 12 pass plays and 10 run plays.
