I remember either seeing it written here or said during one of those CIS podcasts that Dean looked like a one and done player lmao.
How can a guy look like he's a one and done and looking like a 1st round pick yet can't see the field at all behind an already talent depleted secondary? Looks like that comment was made after watching the guy run warmups in shorts and a helmet. Thats gotta be one of the most ridiculous predictions I've seen in a long time lol
Let's not forget "they" also started the "Perry's gonna start day 1" hype train that spiraled out of control. It's not a shot at anyone, we all make mistakes and no one is perfect...but it's the reason why I draw my own conclusions and give no ****s about what anyone else thinks. I call it like I see it, right or wrong, based on what I see.
Back to the secondary....I see alot of people starting to turn on Diaz, which is typical of the retards on this site. Everyone has been commenting about not playing nickel more and matching up personnel to the opposing offense. Have these people even stopped to consider that those 3 linebackers are 3 of our best football players and taking them off the field would force you to play a sub-par talent? Furthermore...has the ****** crown even stopped to consider that Manny might just feel FORCED to keep those 3 linebackers on the field because they represent BETTER FOOTBALL PLAYERS than the garbage corners and safeties he has sitting on the bench that could potentially be used in nickel and dime subpackages?
If you want to criticize the recruiting to an extent (whiffing on Henderson hurt) I can listen to that....but the whole "Diaz all of a sudden sucks" thing is pretty mind boggling to me. He's being asked to go into thermo-nuclear war with a water gun. The talent we have in the secondary right now is pure garbage.
I'm with you. I think Manny is a good DC. I think the growing pains have to do with new players starting and young guys getting in the game. Would like to see more press coverage with the CBs closer to the LOS, but lets see what happens for the Duke game. Secondary needs to line up better.
Only one thing can help that secondary...a couple of quality JUCO's next year and a general infusion of talent.
Jobe and Chandler alone change the dynamic in the d-backfield. Both are plug and play freshman. Lord I hope we hold on
IF we win 10 games and the coastal and have a respectable showing in the ACCCG....we'll hold on to most of the guys in the class.
