I wouldn't call TM7 a guy with bad character.
The dude absolutely was a firecracker in the lockerroom.
The weed thing just needs to be dealt with.

kinda on this playmaker train idea. The beauty of football to me is that it is one of the best "team" sports. That is, the coordination and performance of each player contributes to the outcome. Not like beisbol where you can plug 'n play any old slugger into a cleanup spot. In roundball get just a couple of dominant athletes and you can win big.
That said, it is painfully evident that the missing piece here is pass rush. All the DBs get some degree of flak but it's hard to judge the youngsters when asked to do so much so soon. Imagine Corey White covering players from Elon and Furman one year. The next he is forced into starting across from Roddy White or Jordy Nelson. Pass rush will make them all look better. Better coverage will create more situational pressure for rushers but not nearly as much as the other way around. Any DB, even elite, can only be asked to cover for so many seconds.
