Shut tf up.

You have terrible memory if you think Thorton is on the same planet as Jaden Harris. And thats not even me complimenting thorton. Jaden Harris was dog **** who wouldnt be able to be the water boy on this defense.

Eh he’s playing like a liability at times. He’s definitely better than Harris but his coverage ability leaves a lot to be desired and his tackling is not anywhere near what I expected It to be. I’m somewhat okay with his blitzing

major exaggeration and Wesco put a dirty move on him, sometimes ya just have to acknowledge the talent. i don't recall him missing a bunch of tackles other than not bringing down Gio. i would prefer to move Fitz back to nickel when X comes back and use Thornton less in coverage.

There is no excusing his tackling, but you certainly tried

Fitz excelled in the nickel role last year when Keionte Scott was out in the Pitt game and I think Va tech . I also Want to see Dylan day on the field more period

Again, how many actual missed tackles here? Hetherman does teach guys to be aggressive and the swarm will clean it up, in general we miss more tackles than you think.

Jaden Harris that is all….. When he’s in space that’s all he reminds me of ngl . Can’t cover and can’t tackle correctly. He does okay on blitzes but that’s about it. I can’t wait until everyone gets healthy and or Dylan day start taking some of his reps.

He’s 1 million times better than Jaden Harris. Harris couldn’t play the run like him if his life dependent on it.
 
His actual tackling has been disappointing...Heatherman needs to hammer this home if he hasn't already.

Regarding Wesco, he had our secondary on skates all night. Clemson's only bright spot

For reference Omar had 7 tackles, 6 solo, 1 assisted, 1 sack vs Clemson

Not exactly sure where the outrage is coming from here. Wesco is straight nasty and that move was dirty.

I’m just thinking about that Wesco play and the td he gave up vs wake forest where the receiver ran by him and several other coverage hiccups that game. I do Think he’s okay near the box but in space and in coverage? Idk
 
None of you ****ers know ball. Like none of you.

This dude sucks. He can't cover. He misses tackles. He does one thing well and that thing is injuring/hurting his own teammates.

We had ****ers on both of his commitment threads calling this dude the next J. Thomas and K. Scott. **** all of you. When we get healthy, this JAG aint seeing the field.

The DB room when healthy.
