Is Micah Eugene = Danny McCray 2.0?

Solid in run support. Liability in pass game. Gave me that recollection watching the receivers run past him Saturday.

No!

God, even if that comparison is spot on, I hate you for making it...

Danny McCray Arkansans 2007, makes me want to smash my computer.

Micah Eugene is a freak athlete. Still learning the system, still has time to improve in coverage. Will be in the NFL.

After rewatching the game last night, I think this is a fair comparison...unfortunately. Can not play the ball in the air at all.

This. He seems to be in the right place, but has zero ball awareness. Which is pretty important at Safety.

I actually think they are pretty different, Eugene has seemed pretty good playing nickle, even in coverage, but really struggled with deep help as a safety, whereas I always thought McCray was decent when playing safety, his problems were when lined up in nickle and used as an extra cornerback.

Is that a bad thing? Last I saw, NFL scouts and teams had him playing well enough in college to have him play in the NFL. Pretty sure he is still there, collecting a game check and getting significant PT.

I just love how he stands flat footed as the receiver approaches him then turns to run after giving the wideout a head start and letting him run by... It's like he reads curl/dig ALL the time. A simple double move burns him.

Glad to see the scouts got him playing well.

That's cold blooded analysis right there.

he's pretty much just a special teams player, but yes, he has made it further than most people expected

The man was and is an excellent kick/punt coverage guy. He is a classic tweener that in his career is good enough to be in the frame for you to definitively know whose fault a big play was. It isn't funny, and I take no joy in that analysis. If he was a bit bigger, we'd be talking about how he was an incredible linebacker, I believe.

I thought he should have always played LB
he was great at playing the ball in front of him. Just couldnt turn and run well

y'all stop being tough on Micah for those 2 long passes. There is a reason AU had success in the 2nd half with those. Actually two reasons:
1. they were getting 5-6 yards a pop running the ball. both our safeties were cheating up.
2. the throws were perfectly accurate.
I think Malzahn saw the safeties and thought the time was right. Eugene was a step slow to get out for the over coverage on the WR. That's nothing new or particular to Eugene when a team is pounding us with the running game.
Now, if he's toasted a couple more times Saturday then I'll start to worry. But, even then, who here thinks our safeties won't be cheating up on Gurley-man?

Again, the tweener thing. He struggled to shed blocks. The traffic he would have had to play in at that size would have killed his productivity. He needed to be a little taller and faster or a bit heavier and stronger. Guy has stones, though. Just not the complete tool set.
You can live with a guy who makes the most out of what he has. What always drove me mad was how this guy wasn't a monster.

You could strike a match off of him, prototypical size and strength, couldn't play a lick. Bizarre.

Nope McCray has used up all his eligibility and has not changed his name. This is how rumors start. Please stop.

Need another S to emerge opposite Loston so Eugene can stay in the Nickel role. He is poor in coverage and doesn't have the elite speed or ball awareness to excel as a starting SEC safety. He is however an excellent tackler and is quite adept in the nickel role against TEs/RBs in the middle of the field and defending running plays out of the spread. Regardless of where he lines up, he is an essential cog in having a solid defense this year, but he seems to add more as a 5th DB rather than a base D starter.
just my two cents.
