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

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.

Hall looks slow-as-**** out there
 
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.

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.
