The talent on this team is vastly overrated, and that's true even if you include most of the guys who are out.




I watch 3 star players on opponents teams outperform four and five star players, dragging their arse all over the field and over the goal line.
Must be some value of "coaches evaluations" over recruiting service evaluations.
No way Kentucky and Ole Miss should be embarrassing us.

Lets say Flott returns, you have him at nickel with Dwight and Ricks outside

Move Sage back to safety right?

It’s easy for a 3 star to drag our 5 stars when they get ten yard head starts before contact and are hitting our guys flat-footed cause they don’t know who has the fricking ball.

Jay Ward is so soft. Even when he’s in the right position he gets run over or tries a weak arm tackle.

We lost 2 great safeties in 2019 and didn't have anyone to replace those that left.

I definitely agree here. And a lot of coaches/bootleggers will tell you not to sleep on Langlois. He’s got ability.

I’ve always been a big Raydar guy. And I think he has the ability to overtake one corner spot.

Judging by the coaches performance this season I fully expect Langlois to have a dozen INTs this season when they let him play

Throw in Major Burns, Evans, and McGhee, and you’ve got 6 guys that came in as bean poles.Don’t get me wrong, some CBs coverage ability is so good that you definitely want them, but in today’s game you have to have some physical corners and safeties who can tackle, shed some blocks, and hit. I admire the hell out of Flott and how much he has improved and become physical, but he shouldn’t be your most physical DB. It’s taken him 3 years of playing and working to get there, and he is the exception for guys his size. When guys get into open space against us, we miss a ton of tackles and the ones we do make involve holding onto the guy while he drags players along.

Why the heck not? Just stupid. DBs and Safeties are not communicating with each other.
