Harold Perkins Needs

Everyone is blaming the coaching concerning Harold Perkins not being so explosive as when he was a freshman. These are the main reasons he is not as effective.

1. Every team we play knows how explosive he is and are scheming against him to slow him down. When he was a freshman , most teams weren't that concerned about him.

2. He keeps putting himself in horrible positions during the play. Example , he jumps into a area as soon as he sees the RB move toward that area and then when the play goes to the opposite side, he just get blocked easily out of the way . He isn't reading the play very well.
Watch how " Weeks 40 does just the opposite. First he either jumps forward past the Oline men to put himself immediately into an open space to tackle the RB or QB. Secondly, if he don't get the jump , he makes sure he does not run into the blocking scheme.
40, just has great football knowledge.

Perkins needs to stop running himself into the blocking schemes.

Late last year they went back and put him on the outside to just free roam and the teams just shoved him high out of the way and ran right past him.

Then we put Harold in the Nickel position on some plays and again he was useless playing that spot.

Harold needs to read the offensive Line a lot better than what he is currently doing.
