Hard to believe that Natrez Patrick didn't record a single tackle against AP despite playing pretty well, IMO.
Thought it was worth sharing.

He kept AP from recovering the poor pitch by Oatsvall and I thoought he was in on at least 1 tackle but I guess not

If you play inside LB, how can both of these statements be true? He sure wasn't doing a lot of pass coverage and breaking up a bunch of passes to backs and TEs.
Natrez seems a little slow but then again it's easy to compare people to Roquan. Doesn't seem like he's going to be making tons of plays all over the place but I guess he brings size and senior leadership...

As already mentioned he made a huge play by blowing up the scrum and allowing Walker to pick up the fumble. We will know a lot more after the SC game. I'm not ready to panic, yet.

The coaches know more than I do, but I sometimes wonder if he's playing the wrong position.
Against power running teams that like to run it between the tackles, he's a good option to have inside because of his size. He looks the part of the ideal 3-4 ILB that Kirby had at Alabama. However, with so many spread offenses in CFB today, your MLB has to make open-field tackles in space and be able to run plays down from sideline-to-sideline. I don't think he's shown that he can consistently do that.
I just hope he's improved and able to make an impact in his final season.

Guys like Roquan come along like once a decade.
Natrez is a leader in that he knows our D and he has been around awhile, played with the likes of Roquan and understands CKS and CMT and what they want...that is very valuable.
Wish everybody would stop panicking about the absence of Roquan. "By Committee" is how many, many successful teams operate...you won't always have that one guy.
I saw alot of raw potential from the D we fielded Saturday...just needs to be harnessed. D line looked especially stout imho.

He was also the lowest rated defensive player we had last year by a wide margin.

And yet he was still consistently one of the highest.

The linebacker I was most disappointed in was D'Andre Walker. For a guy who's supposed to be somewhat experienced, he repeatedly took himself out of the play. If I was South Carolina, I'd run toward him all day long until he proves he can stop it.

I agree. Walker played a fricking horrible game. My only hope is that it was reported that UGA was game planning USC 2 week’s before and the week of Austin Peay. Maybe he got confused on stuff he hasn’t seen since the coaches were getting ready for USC instead of focusing on the opener but, either way, Walker looked like shite.

I'm hoping he was just a bit over-excited and lost discipline. He's got loads of athletic ability, but Kirby won't tolerate him not playing his assignment for long.
