re: Craig Loston impressions

He still takes bad angles and goes for the knockout blow instead of trying to play sound football. He would have had a pick-6 if he had looked up instead of deciding to hit the guy.

He will not wrap up the ball carrier.

He needs to wrap up when necessary and could've had a pick 6 early if he had his eyes on the ball when Allen had the tipped pass. Instead he went for the knock out hit.

That said, it's nice that he is healthy to start the year and hopefully he stays that way throughout.

I like his idea to kill a mfer, but I don't want to see Loston hurt his neck again.

Eta: Hopefully he will pick the tradition back up this year that LL started. Safety blitzing the bama qb into the turf hardcore. Please make this happen Chavis. Just one good arse pop.

He is not so great in coverage, and it too concerned with the "big hat" image.

Yes, that does help to intimidate some receivers, but it will cost us in the aggregate due to missed assignments.

All in all, he is solid, but not special like those that preceded him.

Needs to keep his eyes on the ball and worry less about "lighting someone up." Could have had an interception early on.

This has been beaten to death on this thread, but- look for the frickin ball, instead of trying to lay people out. A Pick 6 would have likely locked the game up, as well as make Sportscenter highlight reels. The ball was just floating up there for him.

I know, he can't/won't change what he's doing, but somehow I hope he sees how easy it would have been to score, when they review film.

Someone else laughed when it was suggested he might lose his starting spot, but I hope we have someone getting ready in the wings. If Loston can't bother to look for the ball, we need someone else out there.

Thoughts are that if he keeps that up he will be targeted by the refs for personal fouls.

Thoughts are that he hit a TCU receiver about three yards out of bounds and should have been flagged.

Thoughts are twice he tried to deliver big hits instead of making the form tackle and bounced off the guy allowing them to make first downs.

If he keeps this up, tape will be sent to the league office, refs will start watching him and he will be flagged often.

Hold head up and get those interceptions

I think most of most of you think he takes poor angles based on that one touchdown. And he could of had a pick six, but y'all are making way to big a deal over it

All in all I think the secondary looked pretty good last night, including Micah Eugene in particular

I thought he played well. He missed a tackle on the jet sweep for a TD, but that kid has legit speed. It looks like he dialed back a bit on using his head to tackle. I think he has some big time plays in him this season.
