I know this may come off as pilling on but was the "Honey Weasel" exposed last night? I think he is an adequate college player but as a cover corner he is lacking. He is too small. He had his back to the ball to often and was picked on by BAMA's number 2 guy Hanks and a reciver who had 7 catches for the year. He had trouble tackling and was easily blocked throughout the night. And not by NFL level players. In reality TM7 recieved alot of hype throughout the year for making plays that are unrelated to his main job of pass coverage. If I see that play against KY one more time I'm going to puke. TM7 benifitted by being the unblocked man on certain blitzes to cause fumbles. It wasnt like he was beating a player off his block to get to the ball. When he blitzed last night TR had no problem discarding him. If your corner is more known for forced fumbles than int's or pass break ups shouldnt that tell you something? Yeah he is a good returner on punts but as a corner he is a nickle guy at best. In reality can you honestly see this guy line up against 6'2" 220 lb NFL WR's like Andre Johnson and be effective? TM is a colorful personality who is fun to watch play but in the end he is what he is. 5 foot beg for more, buck seventy five soaking wet.

I think he just had a bad game. He was in good position on a bunch of plays that he got beat on, but he just didn't make the play/great play by bama receiver. Exposed would be a bit of a strong word to use there because he wasn't the only one that got beat in coverage, and it was only one game.

He definitely doesn't like to tackle and he's scared of contact...

to a certain degree he was...he got picked on a little by AJ. He is a nickle back in a normal defense. To small too cover a #1 or #2 WR

IMHO he plays corner, better as a nickel, and made the AA team as a corner but I feel he will translate into a FS at the next level.

Your receiver made great catches and aj made great throws. But he was in prime position for the defense that was called.

Now why would anyone think you are "pilling" on? Piling on is whole different story though.

Can he cover a slot reciever (Jimmy Graham, Antonio Gates) at the next level?

He is also just a sophomore. I think people forget this and the fact that he will have 1 maybe 2 more years of experience and weight training. He is good and will get better

I don't think it was so much he got beat or was out of position.

I think AJ just threw some PERFECT passes. He was on the money last night and I was not expecting that at all.
He played lights out and thew some perfect passes.

those were good throws and catches by bama last nite. he had good coverage. he should've been in the nickel.

my only criticism of chavis was that he didn't let the taller guys - Brooks and simon cover and let mathieu play nickel.

He got beaten by good throws and catches last night. What impressed me about him is that he came up and made big plays against the run several times last night. He's a great player.

I think HB is ok in pass coverage and he is awesome on the blitz and special teams that's about it. I think AJ played great and made some great passes where the bam a receiver had to go up in bring it down. They did not throw it low within reach. I think HB is average cover guy but great special teams weapon

You can be small and still be great; not many good corners are over 6' yet honestly.

He just bites too often IMO

McCarron and his recievers made plays. It's not like the kid had a Ike Taylor type of game. Bama played great last night. These comments take away from your team's performance.
