The Georgia corner transfer is going to be a stud. Keep this here.

I'm not sure how good our defense will be but I'm pretty confident our safeties will actually understand to play deeper than the deepest. Fuck me. #15 and #2 gone is addition by subtraction.

Agreed.

Who was #2?

[hit_that_line]

Who was #2?

Slusher.

[DirkPiggler]

Slusher.

He was so forgettable last year it didn't even register that he was gone...

Last year, I think we could've put scarecrows on the field and would've gotten better coverage.

The entire season was forgettable in every way

Go watch the Bama highlights. My god.

You'll never convince me that Slusher wasn't a locker room cancer last year. Not the only one, but definitely one of them.

He played like warmed over shit after having a good 2021, and kept sending cryptic tweets, had the arrest/suspension stuff, and then quit the week of the Mizzou game.

Maybe he got caught up in the drama being stirred up by the assistants, but from afar he just seemed like a head case. 

[hit_that_line]

Of course he was.

At one point Slusher looked very much like he would be an NFL safety...

massive disappointment.

He had all the ability.  At least you never have to question Clark's effort.

All of the safeties including Catalon were slow as fuck.

Catalon is plenty fast for the position.  Slusher is too if he gives enough of a fuck to run hard. 

99% of the time when fans say a guy is too slow it's one of two things.  Either a lack of effort, or a lack of understanding by the player of where he's supposed to be.  The other 1% accounts for Clark and Blair.

Slusher was too small plus crazy.

...and Bua.

Slusher and Catalon were plenty fast and had the tools everywhere but upstairs.

Catalon lost a couple steps after his injuries, understandably.  He could close to get picks as well as any college safety early on.

I just keep going back to a preseason interview (may have been on the Catfish Hole show) with Knox and Blair last year. Blair had been lighting it up through both spring and fall camps and Knox said something that really stuck out at the time. It was something to the effect of "Yeah, you make all the plays when you know what's coming". Basically saying that his effectiveness was based solely on his (and perhaps the other defensive players') familiarity with our offense.

Hopefully our secondary has developed more natural coverage instincts and will be less reliant on knowing what play is coming. I was not impressed with the coach we brought on last year (the one from Marshall). If our secondary sucks again, I don't think they'll be able to put it on the coaching. While the jury might be out on Wilson, adding Woodson back there should be a huge help.

Safety is going to be a problem again.

[hit_that_line]

Baylor is saying Ketron Jackson is going to have a monster year. I'm sure glad we continued to play guys like Haselwood and Warren Thompson over him. We could've used him badly this year.

Unfortunately we had the wrong Briles on staff
