i'm not sure I've watched a college DB with the instincts that PP7 has when the ball is in the air (see the MSU int). The only corner i can think of is Webster. I'm sure there are more great ones, but I haven't had the privilege of watching them play

I can only think of PP7 getting beat twice. Against Alabama (PI call) and against UGA last year against AJ Green (incomplete pass, overthrown


I believe he had the blown assignment against Penn St last year, though we don't really know for certain who's fault it actually was to my knowledge.

Well you know me... I love watching the battles on the outside... By the way, Prince Amukamara is insane too. Back to the OP, he's the only person other than PP I expect to have an island named after them pretty soon.

last year he definitely peaked into the backfield, but it was usually beneficial because of our run defense.

This year, the guy had been an absolute beast. He is the best or 2nd best tackler on the team

He is a great tackler, but he is pretty average in run defense. He made two of the worst plays I've ever seen a corner make in run support this year... one vs. Tennessee and one vs. Ole Miss.

I'm not sure wtf he was doing on that play

I don't really blame him for this one. It was 4th down (if I'm thinking of the same play) and he was trying to force a turnover by stopping him short of the marker. It was a bad angle to take on a normal play, but I don't have a problem with him being aggressive there.

If he keeps contain on that play, someone else probably makes the tackle short of the first down marker.
