Has Xavier Lucas given up a pass yet?

[ShadowSpring]

I see him playing, but he's never in the picture which is great. Wisconsin needed him yesterday.

Yes he was the guy covering the broken play.

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

Yes he was the guy covering the broken play.

Pretty sure that was Brown but I haven’t rewatched yet. Was #2, no?

I thought that was Frédérique? Maybe it was the first of the 40+ yarder

I thought it was 6

 

[canecrazy23]

I'm wrong I just looked and it was 2.

It’s like OJ last year. You forget he’s playing because they’re throwing it anywhere but at him

 

[PennsylvaniaCane]

The first big pass (the one Bain got held on) was against OJ. Second was a breakdown that Brown made the tackle on but i didn’t see a replay so I don’t know where the breakdown was.

To answer the OP, yes he's given up catches this season.

But to add context, he's played well within the confines of the system.

He's played all season at Left, which has mostly been the Boundary side, so he's not really been tasked with taking on the best WR matchups. He gets the short yardage comeback/curl routes & has done a good job keeping everything in front of him.

They also mainly play him in Off-Coverage catch-tech, which is basically a technique that's designed to neutralize line releases by giving 6-8yds of cushion & instead of playing Press Man, you allow the WR to run his stem to you & then you play coverage on the backend. So essentially you let the WR do whatever release he's going to use at the line & wait at the top of the stem before you initiate contact; you "catch" him into your coverage.

He's also rotating with Ethan O'Connor quite a bit.

Correct me if I’m wrong but this was basically the role Porter was in a couple years ago? And then he struggled when being asked to handle Nickel duties? OJ a similar role last year? Now he’s more the main guy (and playing really well imo)

I know **** all about playing DB and what Guidry/Heatherman do but we have a role that gets protected it seems and gives some nice shiny PFF grades

Always felt that off coverage was begging for those dink and dunk passes that killed us under Golden. But it seems to be working here.

His tackling has been good from what I can tell.
