Coverage grades are per position based. A corner with an 80 coverage grade and a safety with a coverage grade of 80 arent equally good at covering a player in man/zone. It just means relative to their position, they are an 80 in coverage. A DE with an 80 coverage grade means for his position he is great at coverage, but he would be a 30 in coverage as a CB.

You mean he doesn't want one of their best receivers matched up on a Safety? Real bold statement....Ruffino doesn't watch film like he claims, he has a few players every year who he picks on and screams about the film when that is not the case. Cooley has had moments where he has gotten beat when playing man-to-man with a receiver (Auburn) but he has also had moments where he has smothered the receiver and taken them away. Do I want to see Cooley consistently playing man against Scott or Coleman Williams? No but I also don't think Bama is going to go where 0 lets throw to whoever he is covering.

Woodland is actually really good, he's smart, plays the ball, and knows when to interfere if he is beat more than 15yds down field. Woodland would be the #1 corner on >90% of G4 teams.
However the guy on the other side of the field would be the #1 CB on all but maybe 5 teams. So he ends up getting thrown on constantly, because Pickett is a black hole.

Everyone on Tigerdroppings is a coverage expert now

i’m aware of how PFF works. he’s still nowhere near one of our weakest links in coverage. we aren’t asking him to cover WR1 for 70 plays. i’d be more concerned if he were filling pickett’s role. cooley has been exceptional in coverage.

Woodland is sticky as hell and feisty. Kid can really run. Even when he gives up a play he tackles immediately and limits YAC

Our entire defense has been exceptional in all aspects. That's why they are the #1/2 power ranked defense in CFB.

Agreed. The 3 safety approach helps Keys. Cooley and Thomas deep with Benefield in the box with Keys and Dottery. Allows Keys to concentrate on run defense and Benefield with his speed can guard the side to side plays.
