Are T.White & R. Robinson better that our current CB combo?

Im just talking shite... I dont really know who's better and/or why.


I do know Collins doesnt see the ball very well when its in the air. Turns his head around late. That's indisputable.

why does everyone assume Robinson is better. Hell, I hope he is but I specifically focused on him on two occasions. He got beat off the line of scrimmage on both and his man caught the ball.

If Robinson takes mills spot then he is the truth.

I just cant figure out why you people always yearn for the damn backup.

its the same shite every year.

Well White started over Collins, so I'd assume it's safe to say he's better than Collins. I don't think Robinson is ready to start over Mills yet.

White and Robinson have way more potential than Collins/Mills.

Mills is just as physical as anyone. Maybe his bump and run can use work, but I like Mills.

He didn't get beat on the slant. It's a damn slant. He's supposed to corral the guy inside and he played well

Jalen Mills is not going to lose his starting spot. He hasnt done anything to lose it. He's been pretty solid as a second year player.

Jalen Collins on the other hand is just too slow to cover faster recievers.

Could collins slide to Safety for Loston? I know Eugene is good there and we have Martin.

Jalen Collins has plenty of speed but his play recognition that slows him down and makes him appear to be slower than what he really is, however T White very good play recognition ability Along with great speed to Warrant him earning the starting position. The key to T White's success will be maintaining speed and agility while gaining strength and wait

I don't think anything is safe to say when dealing with Miles. Maybe they wanted TW to get reps in against some scheme that's peculiar to Georgia and Kent St. Maybe Collins had a headache when the game started. Who the frick knows?

J.Collins appears to get picked on the most in the games this year. UAB really exploited him.

i think he is just too slow. You can watch WR run right buy him on deep routes, and watch the gap get bigger. There is not recognizing a route, and there is getting left in the dust.

I can agree with everything you are stating. All of the DBs were in camp on time so I do take my hat off to Robinson for only being on campus for a bit over 2 weeks. I have seen plays from the vets and I can say there is room for improvement. White is playing like a man child!

He's not physical enough for safety. Plus the bad angles he's been taking on run support would just be magnified when playing safety. I don't think Collins has the instincts to be a top notch corner.

RR has been on team less than a month.
That's pretty impressive.

This. There aren't many pass break-ups on quick slants that aren't inside the 10, unless the QB/WR combo is completely horrific.
