Post Game Recap: Clemson

@Memnon

Thank you so much! Been waiting for this man. Great stuff, as always.

JMO, but even though I think Chase Smith is a liability in pass coverage, he has to have the strongest hands on the team. Once he gets his hands on you, you are a going down. A great tackler.

@Memnon thoughts on Reynolds?

As in Tait Reynolds?

Not good at all.

Has really poor accuracy, doesn't read the field very well & routinely makes ill-advised throws.

To be fair, he's a TF & he clearly isn't ready & shouldn't be playing this early.

But he's gonna take quite a while to develop into anything more than a game manager if he ever learns how to read Defenses.

A solid runner with some toughness, but at QB, that doesn't matter that much.

How do you see the safety rotation working itself out once XL and Antoine come back?

Before the season, it seemed like foregone conclusion that OJ and XL would go to the NFL after this year. Is that still the thought, even though both have had injuries?
Both Poyser and EOC could declare too, but hoping they are planning to stay.

Provided we don’t lose any unanticipated players, our secondary is going to be filthy for years to come, with Sears, Wright, Hall amongst others.

I would assume Fitzgerald goes back to SS, Poyser stays at FS & Dunnigan plays more Nickel Safety.

But I personally would put Fitzgerald at Nickel & keep Dunnigan as a Starter.

I don’t think OJ or XL declare at the end of the season, I mean they shouldn't, but if they did it would be a huge mistake. Their draft stock will fall precipitously, it would be a similar situation to what we saw with Jerod McCoy last draft. Before the season he had a 1st round, but then he got hurt, missed the whole year & declared anyway, he ended dropping to a 4th round pick.

If Poyser declares he either just wants to leave or he received bad advice. I'd be shocked if he got anything higher than a 6th round grade.

EOC should absolutely declare, he'll at worst be a 3rd round pick. He's put together a fantastic season & has great tape for evaluators to boost his stock.

I was afraid you might say that about EOC. Kids a dawg and I think he’s going to do good things at the next level. But man, I thought our NIL could convince kids that don’t have a 1st rd grade to come back.

But as long as OJ and XL come back we are still cooking with grease with JA and the youngins behind them.

Back to Poyser, do you think he’s better at FS than SS? I feel like that’s Fitz natural position, and think SS is more suited to Poyser, but even there I’m tempted to think that JJ would be amazing there next to Fitz.
