That WR threw Donte to the ground like he was a child

I was thinking about this earlier today, and would also like for someone to tell me the answer to the OP's question.

Jackson has great speed and is a tremendous athlete, but his coverage skills seem to be lacking in recent games.

Never have understood Donte's edge. His cover skills just don't look DBU worthy.

Tolliver is in the doghouse.

It sucks because he has better natural cover skills than Donte.

And I love how everyone here begged Donte to be the KR and now everyone hates him

There is a reason he lost that job last year.

I'm not going to knock Donte. That's the bad thing about being a DB. You can do your job all game and not get noticed. One bad miss, and it's a huge story. Donte plays well for the most part, and I don't know if Toliver still has an injury.

But that fumble on the kickoff is absolutely unacceptable.

Tolliver has literally no idea of how to locate the ball when it is thrown his way. He can be in perfect coverage but it doesn't matter cause he can't find the ball. Jackson may not be great but he's a better option than Tolliver.

Toliver did not play well earlier in the year in man to man coverage. Donte had played pretty well for most of the year until yesterday.

I would have Donte Jackson speak in front of the team on tell the truth Monday with the big screen behind him on why he cost his team 10 points Sat.

He's got good hair, but he's not a shutdown corner and his speed is adequate but not as advertised.

Tolliver needs to eat more. That dude is boney.

Thanksgiving will be a blessing for him if he can get a few meals in before Thursday. LSU will need every DB on the roster for Thursday.

DJax has always been too short, imo.

I thought I saw Tolliver on the sideline not in pads.

Donte has played terrible all season long. I can't count how many times I've screamed at the tv "wtf are you doing Donte!"

Tolliver was dressed out for Arky, but had his pants untied so he could put his hands on his package for warmth. He looked like he had no intention of playing

I've never been sold on Donte

Donte was definitely more of an anthoete who needed to develop.

I think he's looked good at times.
