B. Bolden Latest

[jmcanes22]

If he is eligible he is starting. It’s not close. He will be a difference maker

 

[The Franchise]

We need range and ball skills back there so bad. The added talent should be good for us on the front end and back end.

Seems like we have a few guys who could be valuable but unsuited to do what we’re asking them to do.

A guy like Carter as a LB in certain situations or playing in the box could be very effective. He seems like a good downhill player, but when we ask him turn and run he seems to lose his bearings.

 

[Trill]

After D. Smith left, we got what we got. Let's go B. Bold.

 

[caneaddict]

Amari Carter is the next in line of slightly above average 5-6th round Miami hurricane draft pick, hopefully Bolden is elite

Phillips wasn't coming back this year regardless, he's taking a year to get healthy

That's what they want you to believe.

 

[Tad Footeball]

Because Jaelan is redshirting this year.

Redshirting is just a made up term to feed the public so we don't ask why someone isn't good enough to play.

Kid was done dirty by the NCAA. Hope he plays with a chip on his shoulder when he gets under the bright lights.

He was not done dirty at all. Rules require that he sit until 1 year after he left USC.

Gurvan and Bolden at safety and move Amari as your sub linebacker on 3rd down packages is ideal. Not saying Amari doesn't get anymore time at safety. But that 3rd down package could be scary a lot of athleticism on the field.

Carter should be moved as a LB as he’s always head hunting. He would be good out against TEs, and RBs out the back field.

 

[Rellyrell]

I dont Trust Amari in open space like that. It was a play where he completely whiffed on a Bethune receiver and it was about a 15 yard gain

Agreed, but think he could be good as an WLB.

I like your post and the post previous to yours. I would add on to your comment by saying use him in specific sub packages. Where you need an extra DB to cover the TE. LB/S hybrid.

Agreed, 100%

 

[CaneLife93]

Agreed, 100%

And with NFL teams continually moving to more spread concepts, if that works for him, there's the potential of a 5th rd grade. Patriots thrive with specialty players as an example

 

[BeastMode]

He has awful misses at times. Awful.

Jamal Carter 2.0

 

[BeastMode]

Agreed, but think he could be good as an WLB.

He would probably be a striker if we had anyone else to play safety that the coaches trusted. With Filey locking that down and I guess Gil not as good of a safety as Amari, well it leaves Amari at safety

 

[nvlahos]

Thank god, Amari has looked awful so far running sideline to sideline taking brutal angles

I was rewatching the UNC game as I read this. The condensed version, at least. The play before Amari got ejected was just plain bad football.

He's going to cost us a game with the type of action we're seeing below:

Edit: Had to show you how the play ended. It was Pinck that saved us from either giving up 6 or at least another explosive play.

Didn't he get a 2 year degree from a juco?

IMHO, Bolden is going to start and Smith will get a lot of reps as the season goes along. Carter needs to move to Striker or even Will. I'm surprised they put Gil there not Amari. Felt like it should have been the reverse. .

Our "striker" position is sometimes on an island against slot WRs. Against spread offenses, the "striker" position is much different than what it'd look like against more traditional personnel packages and alignments.

We shouldn't want Amari Carter with that much space around him and the need to change direction. Gil is a better fit there than Amari and Romeo Finley is wildly understated in what he does for us.

We need a boundary Safety who can assertively change direction and cover the inside (#2) eligible WR man to man. Our seniors (especially Redwine) did that for us last year. We don't have that right now.
