I just had heard good things about Speedy Howard.
I don't think DCS brings a lot to the table. Not very fast, not much size. Played QB in HS, just don't trust him too close to the LOS. Hope I'm wrong.

First game is this weekend, and I haven't had one conversation about it with my dad, brother or co-workers. It's depressing. Everyone is beyond even bitching about the roster or coaches, just completely apathetic.
Same. It's depressing.

That goes without saying. A defensive back isn't going to spend a lot of effort covering a receiver he knows isn't going to catch the ball.
And he will get his arse chewed in film the exact same. This isn't backyard football. The corners job is to stick his man, if the ball reaches he wr and he drops it that's a loss for the corner.

is this something someone actually has to learn? i can't see this taking more than 30 seconds.

Take it for what it's worth (not much), info likely vanishes once Sumlin is gone and everything turns over:
Positives:
- Nick Starkel actually looks pretty good, he's gonna throw some pucks but he's got the most lively arm our AD has seen since Reggie McNeal. He's not gonna underthrow any of his receivers. He's a lock to win the job.
- Roshauud Paul looks like a more athletic version of Macolm Kennedy, he'll be a four year contributor
- Ausbon is the best true freshman outside receiver A&M has ever had, he won't run by anyone but he catches EVERYTHING
- Starting OL looks much better than last year, could be a team strength if they stay healthy
- Zaycoven Henderson and Kingsley Keke are both gonna be picked in the first three rounds of the draft, one of the best DT combos out there
-RBs are gonnna be strong
- Fuller/Oliver is gonna be a good corner combo for a couple years, Willis won't hold off Fuller all year
Negatives:
- Our LBs aren't very good, and Hines is tiny
- DE play is horriawful, Clemons is just learning to play with his hand in the ground, Cunningham is a tweener who gets pushed around and Johnson is the definition of average at everything good at nothing. We basically have 5 guys on the roster prepared to play DE in the opener. It's by far our coaches' biggest concern.
- Ratley still can't catch
- FGs are gonna be a problem again
- We're gonna have trouble generating a pass rush
- Dayton Mack is probably never gonna do much more than he already has, he just doesn't have the body type and when he drops any weight to improve his endurance he loses his strength. Short arms too.
- Our depth overall is very unreliable

Nearly every part of the OP was wrong:

Positives:
- Nick Starkel actually looks pretty good, he's gonna throw some pucks but he's got the most lively arm our AD has seen since Reggie McNeal. He's not gonna underthrow any of his receivers. He's a lock to win the job. This came true
- Roshauud Paul looks like a more athletic version of Macolm Kennedy, he'll be a four year contributor. Barely seen this season
- Ausbon is the best true freshman outside receiver A&M has ever had, he won't run by anyone but he catches EVERYTHING. Not even remotely true. Terrence Murphy, Earvin Taylor, Jamar Taylor, and many others have been better. Does not "catch everything"
- Starting OL looks much better than last year, could be a team strength if they stay healthy. WRONG
- Zaycoven Henderson and Kingsley Keke are both gonna be picked in the first three rounds of the draft, one of the best DT combos out there. Maybe true
-RBs are gonnna be strong Not really
- Fuller/Oliver is gonna be a good corner combo for a couple years, Willis won't hold off Fuller all year Fuller has been almost nonexistent. Renfro and Jones have been far more productive
Negatives:
- Our LBs aren't very good, and Hines is tiny Glad this was wrong
- DE play is horriawful, Clemons is just learning to play with his hand in the ground, Cunningham is a tweener who gets pushed around and Johnson is the definition of average at everything good at nothing. We basically have 5 guys on the roster prepared to play DE in the opener. It's by far our coaches' biggest concern. Durham and Johnson disagree
- Ratley still can't catch Somewhat true
- FGs are gonna be a problem again Absolutely false
- We're gonna have trouble generating a pass rush False
- Dayton Mack is probably never gonna do much more than he already has, he just doesn't have the body type and when he drops any weight to improve his endurance he loses his strength. Short arms too. Not sure
- Our depth overall is very unreliable Somewhat true

This just tells me our ad doesn't know what they're looking at, which is why they hired a coach who is the exact same way.

Paul and Ausbon are significantly better than their numbers show, we simply can't get them the ball.
And Hines IS tiny, which is why he's played less than 25% of our defensive snaps this year. He's still very much a situational player.
Fuller has been bothered by a hammy all year and has barely played.
RBs haven't had holes after UCLA, and Williams isn't gonna be 100% until next year.
Kicker is the biggest surprise, FGs were an abortion in camp.

Saw a graphic that ausbon is in the top 4 of the SEC for drops this year.
He's a blocking receiver that doesn't block.

Hopefully Ausbon improves once we get a better WR coach

He's a true freshman. He shouldn't be playing nearly as much as he is
