Loyal guy, so all the respect to that, but pass. He might know the defense really well but he’s slow and doesn’t ever overwhelm anyone on the field. Get Matthews ready.

People comparing this defense to some of the greats can definitely dial it back lol
I saw a Twitter post comparing stats after 2 games between this and the 2016 goon squad. Laughable.
As someone recently posted ITT, can’t set the edge worth a shite. DBs -outside of #2- are whatever imo. Sabb has had a good game. Hubbard nonexistent. Lee Jr. Ha.. go talk to HaHa this week and learn how to play safety. Ivan Taylor - you’re a moron.

I don’t know if our DBs were massively overhyped in the offseason or if it’s KW + who is calling coverages on a play by play basis, but I’m incredibly underwhelmed by our DB play thus far. Between coverage busts and DBs being in position but falling down, it certainly does not feel like the elite unit we were sold for the last 7ish months.
ILBs on the other hand, way undersold.

He could have gotten that if he went with where the pass was taking him

We have some technique issues from linemen but we are getting better.
This is very apparent at ~8 minutes in the film guys video when he’s analyzing the counter run, with Derek Meadows motioning to line up similar to an H-Back and Will Sanders is pulling. Better technique by Sanders on that play would have had Hill running for a BIG gain, instead of 7 yards.
Film Guy does an awesome job of showing how the small things can have huge impacts on a play call’s success.

You’ve said this constantly for months now, and you are 100% correct. The penalties and lack of preparedness are astounding.

As insane and fricked up as the state of CFB is today, offense and special teams are still in fact part of the game on Saturday.
The defense could play a perfect game, hold UK to less than 100 yards of total offense, turn them over 2-3 times, and pitch a shutout…. And I’ll still be uncomfortable as hell if we throw a pick on our own 25 yard line and UK is lining up for a chip-shot field goal three plays later with the score tied up 0-0 and 20 seconds left.
Still a team sport where a failure of any one unit can cost you.
I’m still far more concerned with the offense at this point.

With this schedule? I'm not optimistic.
I’m no sunshine pumper but y’all are ridiculous with your expectations of perfection each and every play.
We replaced so much on offense and defense and just crushed an experienced ECU team.
Saban’s teams frequently didn’t come out of the gate firing on all cylinders. None of his teams outside of 2020 bludgeoned every single team on the schedule.
95% of yall just look for something to complain about

Like seeing our 2s flying around. #11 & #35 look hungry. Whole front seven really. shite whole defense second team looks salty right now.

Agreed. It was good to see him and the Bond kid get an injury. I hope something like that happens to Caleb Downs "Syndrome" in the NFL.
I sincerely hope you are not more than ~14 years old, considering what you said/how you think. If you are, do you have a similar mindset about your former co-workers that left for greener pastures? Or just about dudes you have zero personal connection to or interaction with, over something that is purely entertainment for you, and for them, their livelihoods?

Saw a clip from practice yesterday on Twitter - man, #41 Matthews looks like a Dude. Big kid, with some heavy hands and quick as a cat. If he isn’t getting some PT by mid-year and onward, then Pierre and Justin Hill are probably having themselves a helluva year bc Matthews looks like an SEC contributor essentially out of the gate.
re: Has anyone stopped to think about the longterm consequences of this NFL player fiasco?

Supposedly this thing with allowing NFL washouts to return is a “one-time thing” affecting only the class of ‘22. But let’s not kid ourselves. If this stands, there is a 100% chance some player who washes out in NFL training camp next year will find some lawyer who will cite “precedent” in front of a judge that will be all to willing to grant a TRO to allow that player to return to college. Anyone who thinks it won’t happen is willfully blind.
And at this point, what would stop a six-year NFL vet who is getting cut, but more than enough tread on the tires, with 1 year of college eligibility left bc he declared and was drafted after his junior year, from coming back to college ball for like $4mm+ a year from Mark Cuban, etc.? This is a serious question, not too privy on “the rules” these days
