Keith Taylor is taking too much shit

We? moved Taylor inside to big nickel this week because BYU has a fantastic Tight End and neither Molden nor none of our safeties matched up well with him. Taylor predictably didn't look great playing a position he's never played in his life but it's unlikely we'll see him there much more going forward except maybe the Stanford game. If not for two terrible PI calls his game would have looked a lot better.

He was an excellent corner last year. He's not been amazing moving to the top spot this season, but he's going to improve.

Taylor is going to be a lockdown corner for us the last half of the season, just watch.

    He played well last year. He’s solid. The dropped picks are the only thing that really bother me.

    He'll get two or three before the year's over.

    It can be frustrating, but you have to trust that the guy who is in perfect coverage almost every play is gonna figure it out

    At the end of last season, he looked like a certain high round pick in the 2020 draft. He's off to slow start. I'd like to see him back at corner but agree the rest of the DB don't match up well with taller WRs

    I thought he lined up here a couple times last year. I'm remembering him in that position against Utah in the championship game. Then again, maybe I'm just dumb.

    Doesn't detract from your point at all. I thought he played great and one of the PI calls was pretty fucking weak.
    You're correct. He played that spots a few times last year in their dime package. Championship game and WSU and another game.

    I believe it's their "Joker" position. Not sure why they call it that. But I remember seeing Lake talk about it in an article over the summer.

    Disagree.

    No amount of shit is too much when you deflect a would be interception off your hands in the end zone to the opposition for a TD. Come the fuck on.
