If we're missing guys for GT then I'm glad it's DBs. If we don't have a couple DBs who can tackle and play coverage against PeeWee level pass concepts then we weren't going anywhere this year anyway.
If that RB on the pitch gets outside the contain guy, those CBs are gonna need to shed a block and make a play. Not as simple as defending against a bad pass team.
We have a reportedly poor tackler and a true freshman stepping in for a physical senior. Def a downgrade. Big loss IMO.
You are correct in CB responsibility when it comes to this particular team.
And even though GT is almost dead last in the country in passing yards, when they do complete a pass, it usually goes for big or at least very decent yardage.
They are sixth in the country in yards per pass attempt.
The concern is the pound-pound-pound and then pull it back and hit someone for a 20 yd TD while everyone is spying the backfield and/or leaning forward. Again, it’s something that doesn’t happen a lot, but they can gash you with it a few times a game
