Tyrann Mathieu /Morris Claiborne 1 on 1 coverage

With the accuracy of Newton against blitzs is anyone else concerned about these 2 in 1 on 1 coverage situations? Teams even pick on Jai Eugene 1 on 1. Them in 1 on 1 coverage has been the only noticable weakness on our defense this year. It has been disguised because of the DL pressure but when given the opportunity teams have gone directly at both of them in those situations. Anyone else concerned about this?

I am concerned about Cam running by the blitz for a shite ton of yardage.

Theyve been solid all year so no Im not concerned. Im just worried about disciplined defensive assignments. We MUST contain, not overrun.

No. Our 1 on 1 coverage was not as good last year as it could have been because we didn't get any QB pressure last year. With average to above-average QB pressure I trust our athletes' ability to stay in good man coverage long enough for the DLine to force a bad decision or bad throw.
I'm sure they will make some plays against our man coverage, but that's what great offenses do. Hopefully those plays are few and far between and dont end in TD's

Defense is the least of our worries. if the offense moves the ball and does not turn the ball over the defense will do their thing and we win by a touchdown!

not really. it's not that either is bad, actually I think they're good cover guys. a couple times the throws have just been that good.

WE're not going to blitz that much b/c that just gives him lanes to run in.

Mo has been sick in coverage since UNC. Only thing that worries me about him is I don't know how he'd do against a really physical reciever, as he hasn't really gone against one all year. Don't think Auburn has one of those guys.

somewhat, yes
In descending order, these are the people that concern me in pass coverage the most
1) Brandon Taylor - he has a good instinct for run protection and has a slow learning curve in pass protection capability/instincts
2) Jai Eugene - He is too emotional, which leads to inconsistency, and is also not nearly the cover corner we thought when we stole him from Michigan
----to play along, I'll keep going, but not as concerned about these guys------
3) Ty Mathieu - Only because he is so tiny and young (still making mistakes on his angle of attack in coverage)
4) Stephon Francois - Unlike Baker and Sheppard, he is not as fast and instintive, and is not that instinctive in run protection either - he is the biggest weakness on the D IMHO
5) Claiborne - He is a lot like Hawkins and Zenon, but better speed and instincts..He is Johnny on the Spot for INT's, but his pass protection in true cover-corner situations is not as good as it is made out to be - YET.

No, I think our man coverage will be a big advantage for us.
That doesn't mean AU wont beat it a couple of times. CBs are at such a disadvantage, even the BEST get smoked from time to time. That said, our Cbs will be fine.
The biggest factor in this game will be weather or not our offense can sustain drives and keep Newton on the bench.
