Al blades vs Louisville

[Canemang]

Al Blades is a very good college corner.

Lol

al and bandy were our best corners last year and it wasn’t even close! The fact that 8 was playing last year and again this year thank God reeds out there calling out this former teammate and the dc!
Baby body language last year against Carolina was just so off and I believe it was because 7 was not starting. 7 is a gamer and we need that type on the field.

I was not surprised to see Couch take over the role of “whoever is opposite Blades will get abused”.

 

[AutoCANE]

Blades is such an important part of this team - we absolutely need him to stay healthy because the depth...yikes

 

[KrazyCane]

Against an offensive team like that is very impressive... that’s Elite coverage ability. He is one of the best cbs in the country imo.

Jesus, slow down. He's nowhere near a lock down, take away one side of the field type and that's the type of CB you've gotta be to be one of the best in the country.

He's our best corner, but is he even a first or second team ACC selection? Guess we'll see as time goes on. He'll have a tough matchup this week against FSU.

Our scheme for corner backs suck.

What we ask our corners to do coverage was on most 3rd Downs does not set them up for success, it’s coach baker.

 

[JgDaCane]

Very Good???....Nah....

Yes, he is. In 2020 when teams throw it 100 billion times he is very good. The game has changed.

 

[Gatorhater]

It was great to see a Blades make big play. Been so long.

Bumping to remind some they used to love Blades. seem to

 

[Dwinstitles]

He's a decent to good college corner....is he a UM stud what we expect....? Nope

We have high standards here at UM

Still do, he just have had a few lapses in the last couple of games. He will be alright

 

[JD08]

Everyone goes through a rough patch at some time. He and Bolden both need to take step back, catch their breath and refocus.

 

[TouchMoney26]

HAAA finally coaches realize blades is below average and does not have tape to get drafted........

 

[TouchMoney26]

i wish blades proved me wrong but ....

 

[Astcloud11]

Blades is good...don't let the let couple games fool yall...

 

[Mnhurricane]

Still no problem with his coverage. My gripe has always been pretending to be blocked so he can dodge contact whenever possible. Couch is shedding blocks and finding the ball

 

[CorniceCane]

FWIW, at least his production this year will not be enough to have him go to the league. And Couch cannot bounce either due to age (don’t get me started in Ivey...but he has turned it around a little bit as of late). Looks like we have a year reprieve instead of being concerned about guys from this position group that is already light on bodies becoming more of an issue. It also gives the freshman time to mature and get better.
