He played good against Auburn and Army b/c both teams can’t throw the football. I think he moved to cb b/c he is one of the few guys that grasp the zone scheme House is trying to play.
The young cb’s most likely played primarily man in HS and that is all the know. Kinda like why Mo Claiborne was a bust in the NFL. He had never played zone and the cowboys drafted him and asked him to cb in a cover 2 zone scheme.

I’m going to trust our staff to decide who’s best suited to fill that spot on Saturday

Yes.

It’s why Denver Harris was a bust and why we sucked against ole miss.

He couldn’t learn the scheme and we were trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.


When you have to change your scheme and assignments to account for a guy who can’t play within the planned scheme the entire system fails.

He's the best cornerback we have available.

Complaining about Ryan at a time like this is the height of stupidity.

He was a 5 star athlete , in hindsight he may have been better on offense who knows

But they do have options. Play the highly recruited freshmen that are true boundary corners.



We play zone. Nobody is manning up WRs. Have you watched any football this year?

Most WRs also played CB in high school.

This ^

He is the highest graded CB on the team.

This x 100. I do think Sage would have been a better Safety than Major Burns but guess we won't know.

He is a bust... plain and simple. It happens. Usually, this means that he has tools, but not the brain to use them.

Sage has been playing well out there why in the world would you want to change that when all 4 of our transfer CBs are out for likely the remainder of the season?

In case you haven't watched the past few seasons he's more like a 1 star safety. I believe he is a much better corner than safety.

Don’t you think that they would play any of those guys if they thought they were a better option than Ryan?

We missed the trade deadline yesterday. Should have traded a WR or OL for another CB.

Sage is very average but has size and knowledge. He totally did not live up to his 5 star rating.

Teams go after the weak DB's all the time. Sage has been attacked everywhere he plays on the field

Kelly see's these players everyday in practice . EVERYDAY!!!!!

Yet OP knows where players should be playing. Jezzzzz

If you are better then the coaches, why aren’t you coaching? It’s obvious that Sage is better than the corners you mentioned. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t be playing ahead of them. I’m sure Kelly knows more than you do
