Highlights In Defense Of Flagg

[Empirical Cane]

Flagg has taken a ton of heat throughout his time wearing Orange & Green.

Is he a future NFL HOF'r? Probably not, but he plays hard and has made huge strides wirh the arrival of new staff.

Through today, he leads our Canes in:
- total tackles
- solo tackles
- assisted tackles
- tackles for loss
- T3 for sacks

I'm hoping for better players in rhe future, but as long as the staff puts him on the field, I'm Team Flagg.

He’s not a bad football player………he’s just a G5 athlete. And on defense athletic/physical flaws become more pronounced and the lack of necessary physical traits hurts you more than on the offensive side of the ball

 

[ThomasM]

Does that make you a Flaggette?

 

[canefan96]

His rushing defense is adequate but his pass coverage is terrible, he should not be on the field every down.

He's OK you don't win championships with ok players. Nothing more needs to be said we've had worse.

I walked into that one didn't I?

Love the savagery, and well played Sir!

rooting for his continued development

Flagg gives good effort, I will give him that.

 

[Go Canes!!]

He’s not the reason weve given up about a half dozen plays over 75 yards.

He's OK you don't win championships with ok players. Nothing more needs to be said we've had worse.

You can win with a few OK players on your team. You can't win when that OK player is the best player on his side of the ball.

Yes if the rest of team is loaded with talent but we aren't even close to that stratosphere. Ok players shouldn't be relied on they should fill a specific role.

That was exactly my point. Even our 2001 team had some OK players, surrounded by a ton of 1st round talent. You simply can not have your best, most productive players, be "OK". OK is for backups, rotational, or stop-gaps. If you have an OK player starting surrounded by excellent players, they are fine. When that OK player is surrounded by worse players, it's bad, bad news.

EXCELLENT reference.

 

[V-DawgCane]

For every good play, he makes three terrible plays. He is slow, has below-average strength, and gets mauled by blockers. Other than that, he's pretty solid

 

[Hoyacane1620]

It's time to stop ragging on Flagg. Guy pulls his weight every game. There are plenty WORSE players you can all bash each week.

It's really beyond comprehension at this point.....

The transfer from UCLA isn't much better.

 

[Page305]

Yeah Flagg has been pretty darn decent lately.

He was definitely responsible on one of them against MTSU. Film don’t lie
