4 first round receivers got over on an 18 year old?!

Short answer: yes. People also complain that Stingley gets beat alot but I'll take that any day if it can lead to getting 5ints for a season. But yeah, Blades is athletic enough, his main problem is footwork/balance. He's always falling during plays.Our DBs have a hard time staying in phase and preventing separation. You want them to look for the ball when they can't even cover with their eyes on the receiver?
Only the best corners can cover and have the skills and confidence to find the football. Blades can cover with his length and technique but isn't athletic enough to also play the ball.
Again looking at that laundry list of guys he went against...there is probably 2 nfl wrs on that list and they all got yards on him.
He's good...good as **** for a freshman...but yall need to stop hyping up ninjas to a level they arent. He will get the hype from now on ..follows from recruiting...and now the fact that he is at LSU which is known for the dbs. Maybe its because i watched 3 games where he gave up tds i dont know?. I'm impressed as ****..but thinking he is some out of this world prospect....NO. I mean i am a fan of um and seen our dbs when we were rolling.

Well...I guess you're right.That is athleticism. Blades doesn't have the body control and flexibility to cover and play the ball.
84 targets might be the most of any CB in D1. Really says a lot about the Fulton kid, IMO.600 yards given up and 5 tds? People hype who they want to hype up and that’s the truth

Probably the only db to give up 200 yards plus in a game too this season. I cant Get that performance vs bama and they way uf attacked him with van Jefferson coming out of the 1st half out of my head. He was beat some in other games too but he’s good no doubt , but some going overboard with the hype imo
It ain't even close, the best CB in the nation...
Especially considering how high his upside is, guaranteed 1st round draft pick in 2 years.
