Still day you have to cover the best player on the field.

Stfu. It was one play (and a great call at that). Our freshman LB slipped. Life goes on.

Everyone knew cook was going to get something eventually. He's just that good.

The defense played so much better than even we all thought they could. Diaz the gawd.

Cooks is just that good, he's going to tear the NFL up. Talk about speed. And yes, the LB slipped on the coverage. Stupid penalties also killed us, but many of these guys are young. It's also going to take a recruiting class or two to repair the damage done by Golden.

Wasn't that on Colbert?

No. Pickney.

From the All 22, I don't think that was man coverage as Herbie was suggesting. Corn seemed to have a 3rd, Rayshawn had deep middle, and Colbert had the other deep 3rd. If your zone isn't threatened, you run with a the guy that goes up that seam. Basically a 3 deep zone with man principles if your 3rd isn't challenged

Play took a really long time to develop so Cook wasn't immediately threatening that part of the field.

Would love to hear what better minds think, but I don't think that was as much a blown assignment as it was Jimbo making a really dope call on first down.

Pickney saw him coming out of the backfield and turned to run with him, but got tripped up in the wash. He didn't rush, he had Cook in man.

This, he was shadowing him and as soon as he tripped he looked right away for and scrambled after Cook but it was too late. He had him man.

Nope.
