fudgie is like Trump in that the volume of absurd shit that he spews is so large that you just get numb to it all and forget some of the obscenities. Love that we're bumping back these trips down memory lane.
BTP is right in this case. Kirkland is not good. That said, he was defending Asa Turner til the end.
He sucks. I stopped defending him last year. He’s a nightmare in coverage.
Receipts
These actually aged pretty well. Turner was solid this year. We were a 100% better defense when he played.
Turner is not good but he is the tallest midget.
He's a below average tackler but good at everything else - coverage, diagnosis, ball skills, etc.
Putting yourself in position to miss the tackle is a special quality. I don’t know who, but someone actually showed how he diagnosed plays pretty well vs Oregon only to whiff on tackles. But it’s not like anyone else better. It’s like the rest of the db’s are surprised by whatever route the wr’s are running every time (this is why i am not sold that it’s just a talent issue with the defense). If we were a real contender next year someone like that can’t start on your defense.

I'm fine with that assessment. He's the ability to tackle away from being all conference. That's obviously an important ability. I'll be thrilled if we have someone better for the position next year because that will be a pretty damn good player. But mostly think Turner get singled out too much. He's not the issue with the defense.

I'm very glad he didn't portal out.
I want the Tulsa kid we've been talking about. He seems like all that but he hits.

Strongly disagree on coverage. Maybe it's scheme where he's put in unwinnable situations, but he takes a lot of bad angles and seems to get burned a lot.

I haven't seen that. Curious if he's bad in coverage and a bad tackler why the defense plays better with him in there? You think it's just coincidental?
Undeserved, we had 4 better offensive lineman that should have made all conf 1st team over him. He's a solid college player, nothing spectacular, light in the pants couldnt anchor at tackle. We saw Aiden Hutchinson absolutely abuse that. Won't even sniff a starting opportunity in the NFL unless he comes in via injury.
Lol. 3 time 1st team All-Pac lineman who played last year on a dislocated/fractured ankle.
