It's the fact that we appear to be about as void of playmakers as when Todd took over. We leaned on Tate then but have much more to work with though it seems that only Blake, Lutz and Dyer are the go-to guys and I say that because most of the talent is situational ie. Carr=long ball, OMac=corner, Reed=Wildcat, Phillips=bulldozer etc...none are more than 15 plays per 8 possession guys.
But this was how it was pieced together by Malzahn, and I'm sure he will make it work out. It just looks like he's casting for a play about football. Now who's this Shakespear kid?

Oh I see...teasing as sport. Well for your information mister it takes more than 22 to make a team. I'll spot you 24 smart guy. Any teamly concerns?

Great concerns! But, unlike the bammers who chirp mindless bullshit and try to convince everybody that no national championship team ever lost a core of great players before, or that it's unusual to have to rebuild with unknown players from time to time...well...it's college, they graduate. Some get arrested. We'll field a team.

He won't have to run as far to get burned on the deep route anymore.

Rather have him playing facing the pass, than with his back to it!

Agreed. This may not be a bad thing. i actually thought he was trying to play the pass last year as a safety rather than a corner. He has the speed to keep up and he reads the play well by evidence of his run D. He may end up being a baller there.

During stretches, usually a veteran/first-teamer will lead each of the six lines. Leading the defense lines were: Nosa Eguae, Eltoro Freeman, T'Sharvan Bell, Daren Bates, Dee Ford and Neiko Thorpe. Leading the offense groups were: Philip Lutzenkirchen, Brandon Mosley, Jared Cooper, Onterio McCalebb, Barrett Trotter and Quindarius Carr.
Walk-on Logan Paul (No. 18) was the third QB working with Barrett Trotter and Clint Moseley. Paul is listed as a redshirt freshman and hails from Gulf Shores, Ala.
Ladarious Phillips and Anthony Morgan were both working at RB.

Just think how much energy he'll have preserved by the 4th quarter. They call Neiko's man, 7-11. Open all night.

He was always right there with the WR as he got burned. He covers well, but doesn't react well to the ball when running in man coverage. I hope this move puts him in a more natural fit position. Hopefully the Rose kid coming up can fill in at CB. Bell and another kid whose name escapes me will play too.

Yea I never heard much about him. Didn't even know if he had stuck it out. Good to see he did.

Chris Davis checked Torched several times this year and did a reasonably good job.

Reasonably good, hell. In the SECCG, torched started and Davis immediately replaced him. How come you think we had such a good night covering the pass. In the NCG, Davis got hurt on the first kickoff. That is why torched got his time.

Torched was hardly ever in position to make the play. He was playing catch up to the WR. Yes the back of his head was there, but there was no way he could turn and make a play.

I pray he does better at S.

Yeah 5-9ish Davis drew 6-5 Alshon Jeffries on a fade route for his first action. Twice! Not a good way to break in. But even Stephon whatshisname got burned for Carolina and he practiced against that crew. Corner is tough. Neiko will do fine at safety.

Aahh memories. I so thoroughly enjoyed Atlanta and the SECCG. I so thoroughly got drunk and

at the few USCe Penises that remained.

A surly lot of pussies, those Cocks.
