We know bubba bolden, hall and blades have Each had their moments or games playing really well this year but I want To give a shoutout to Gilbert Frierson, he’s been making plays these last 2 games in the backfield and just overall tackling pretty well. I like His skill set and he’s always active. Hope to see Frierson continue to make plays

Frankly I haven't seen enough out of Frierson or Smith. I still wonder if we wouldn‘t be better off running a traditional 4-3 if we have the personnel to do it. Like a Darrin Smith or DJ Williams who could legit cover the slot.
 
Providing pressure and making good open field tackles from his position in The backfield or wherever
Ah, gotcha. I dont think 4 tackles (2 solo) is considered “making plays”. For me, to consider a DB “making plays”, I would like to see FF, FR, tackle for loss, sack, INT, Pass Defended, pick 6 and etc. Something from those categories. Frierson is a serviceable player who doesn’t “kill” us, but he hasn’t made any plays yet this season unless 7 total tackles is “making plays”.

I have noticed him prevent some backs from spitting out of the pile which makes a difference.

I'm one of Gil's biggest fans and tbh...

I've been disappointed so far (maybe my expectations were too high) I've seen some good things, but I've also seen some things i don't like. He is not consistent.

Keontra can’t have no ridiculous fouls like he did on the sideline for a late. That was pretty crazy but I like Keontra too though
Young guy hyped up in his first big game in a game where emotions were running really high. I agree and I think he’ll be alright.
