Craig Loston impressions

Who else was impressed by Poppa? He seemed like he was on a mission all night to knock guys out. He is an intimidating presence with good reason.
Really liked what I saw from him.
Your thoughts?

Doesn't know how to tackle

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.

Which will get him ejected at least once this season.

he'd be a star if he played 20 years ago

Honestly, thought he played out of position on multiple occasions.

He had a solid perfectly timed lick on a receiver to break up a 3rd down conversion.

Was too interested in layin down the big hit last nite insted of just playin football.

Only saw one real mistake on the missed tackle TD. Overall played well though. The whole secondary played well. Only a few mistakes overall, but most of the night they were shutting down the pass and our last line of defense on rushing plays. Lots to be glad about. The depth is stacked and Loston is the captain for sure

He's a little to concerned with laying a big hit, which I think will get him ejected at some point this year. He needs to keep his head on a swivel, find the ball (cost him an INT and pick 6 last night) and focus on making sound tackles.
Everybody loves the big hit, but I'd rather him take advantage of opportunities for turnovers and making sure he keeps himself on the field without getting thrown out.

I thought he dialed the hitting down a notch, probably in accordance with the new targeting rules. There was one PBU that, if it had been last season, he would have laid out the TCU receiver.

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.

he passed up a pair of INTs so he could go headhunting. if he continues that he will end up hurting the team when he catches a targeting penalty which now comes with an ejection

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.

Always goes for the kill. Never wraps up. Feast or famine with him. Always has been

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

Needs to play smarter and with less abandon.

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 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.
