Y’all talk about Cb play, safety play has been even worse

[brock]

Where’s gurvan been all year? Bubba bolden play has been declining significantly the last 3 games and Carter is Carter, not good which is even crazy because he’s been the best safety in each of the last 2 games.

another good cb is emerging in tecory couch. Ivey has improved his play this year overall even with his couple of lack of focus plays. I will Say blades play has declined the last few games though

 

[TriStarCane]

You had me until the Ivey part. He is the same player this year as before. The safety play has been bad but there is no doubt

 

[AUcane]

Hall and Bolden had a tough game.

 

[Genghis Cane]

Bolden has almost cost us games. He’s gotta wake up.

 

[ageezy]

Hall and Bolden had a tough game.

the last few games have been rough ... bolden's tackling has declined dramatically

 

[LuCane]

Some really bad plays today between Bolden, Hall, and Carter.

 

[mikemike]

Bolden looked bad

real bad !!

he better come back, he ain’t ready just yet

 

[Koke]

They have all been bad except for Couch. Whenever Ivey gets targeted he gets beat bad, same for Blades. Some of the angles our safeties take is just atrocious.

Paging Lu... I played corner .. I want to hear from our Safety spert. What the **** is going on out there? I mean it is beyond atrocious at this point. I think Hall is hurt. I can't explain why he has regressed but it should make him want to come back.

A tough few weeks.

Hall looks slow-as-**** out there

 

[Waffle Honcho]

There will be opportunities for the freshmen safeties next year for sure.

 

[Angry Ibis]

Cool story. Rumph still can’t recruit. AND we need to land the elite safeties

 

[Cajuncane]

Bolden either has a shoulder injury,is playing not to get hurt or turned straight ***** cause he’s shied away from hitting anyone off the past 2-3 games.
If he thinks it’s helping his draft status it ain’t.Teams want safeties that will hit.He ain’t it.At least lately

 

[scrantoncane]

Gurvan really isn't good at anything. He was supposed to be the savior after that abortion of a DB recruiting season. Surtain and Jobe start for Bama, and we have a (below?) average ACC safety.

 

[scrantoncane]

I will say that Gurvan should be used when we are going to blitz a DB. Couch either lines up too tight to the line (so he can't use his speed to get outside the tackle), or gets washed out. I have no idea why we have a 170 lb guy coming off the edge. Yes, he is a good tackler in the open field, but he is being used improperly when they blitz him.

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

Make no mistake about it, our corners are not UM standard corners. Average at best with Couch being the best of the bunch.

This is all a DIRECT indictment of Manny and Rumph's recruiting failures. They have both been here long enough, even going back to BEFORE Manny got promoted, where it's fair to staple that depth chart to both of their foreheads. This defense still has holes all over the place and lacks playmakers at every level.

Couch got to the QB twice I think and was credited with half a sack. I just don’t see it in Gurvan, he’s too soft and doesn’t play aggressive at all.

 

[Suhrthing]

It's maddening to see our defenders not aggressively attacking backs and receivers in space. They all take bad angles and slow down to give the runner a chance to make a move, and then miss an arm tackle.

Worst PI all year called on Ivey.
