What happened? He looked like a stud early on in the season but now just looks lost out there.

His tackle "attempt" in the first quarter alone should earn him a spot on the bench.

You should get benched for getting faked out! That guy made a good move...yeh I yelled wtf was that but when I saw it in slow motion he set him up to fake him out.

Now some of the coverages are a bit concerning but I just can't tell who is to blame each time. I see players pointing at each other but I will trust the coaches are playing the right guys.

Always been a Jordan Jefferson hater so it was easy to hate on Ricky but he proved me wrong. With that being said he hasn't played well the last two games.

Told my buddy that last night. He was playing like a beast and now he looks to avoid contact.

I think you have missed a few games...he has been lost for most of the year in pass coverage.....and while he used to be super in run support....there's issues with that too now......I think your last statement is fitting...for right now....

He started the season very well but the last two weeks, he's looked lost out there.

When the WKU player put the moves on him I was flabbergasted.

WTF happened to Corey Thompson?

He's already a junior and is barely getting any playing time.

Thought he would be the next Eric Reid with as much hype as he got in high school

yea, first 3 games or so he looked like he had cemented a starting spot

now he looks like bench fodder at best. battle on the other hand looks impressive.

He has clearly struggled compared to how he began the season in quite a dramatic fashion. Assuming the talent and skill displayed early has not suddenly disappeared, one can only wonder about the mental challenges. It appears that every play there seems to be constant communication between the DB's right up until the snap. Combined with the plenty of missed assignments - is our scheme too demanding? Also, why is asked to cover and others blitz when he struggles in coverage and is likely our top blitzing safety?
