Rewatched the tape...I think it can be fixed.

I said CB3 not all American. Relax a bit. I’m not the enemy here. Go back and watch the snaps he did play then hit me with that zero evidence talk.

I’ve not said injuries are the sole reason we are having issues in the secondary. I am saying that the injuries have definitely been a (large) part of why our secondary has stunk. Hetherman’s job is to figure out a solution for this LB in coverage problem we have. He also needs to find a scheme for the safeties that works.

That’s fair. I didn’t mean to come in so hot. Injuries have definitely played an outsized role and I do not doubt that Antoine will help.

I was a “wait until we are healthier” guy until this past week, now I’m not sure Antoine and OJ will automatically shift the calculus. I agree that it’s more about Hetherman’s scheme.

We have issues to take care of, no doubt. Time to make some changes.

I’d like to see Poyser at SS, fitz at FS, and JJ at nickel. Poyser was bad last night, hopefully just an off game. Bryce is better as a center fielder and we are asking him to do son much.

This!!! Poyser is no free safety. His best attribute is his run fits and tackling. SS is more suitable for him. Bryce should be the Center fielder

# 1fix needs to be tackling

Very hard to intercept footballs when the closest defender is 4-5 yards away from the wr

bingo

In defense of Fitz, that boy is playing with one arm. That’s why he cannot tackle right now. He’s about 50% right now and it has him very tentative. At least that’s how it looks. I have zero connections.

I think Poyser has been ok for us. Damari Brown and O’Connor’s tackling leaves a lot to be desired for sure.

Teams are trying to target Dunnigan, he’s a freshman, you know he’s going to give you some mistakes. But that kid is uber talented. I can’t wait until he has a full off season to develop his body some. Kids a player!

I do think we are desperately missing OJ. He just gives us so many options. I think some injuries are leading to poor form as guys are maybe protecting themselves.
