Booing the kids: Asa Turner edition (gifs)

These are not anomalies, these are just what I quickly pulled and didnt want to put to many gifs because @DerekJohnson's Friday harbor servers can only handle so much bandwidth. You can pick almost defensive play that Asa Turner is in and find something hilariously wrong about what he is doing.
I cannot stop laughing at Turner shuffling around acting like he Troy Polamalu on a blitz 3 yards off the LOS and not 12+ yard off the LOS. Starts rapid backpedal to get off screen well before snap, its a run play . Enters frame well after runner gains first down and is tackled. No contact. (this happens regularly)
STARTING 20 yards off the LOS and rapidly backpedaling off screen is not a meme...
The next FOUR GIFS are in fucking order from just 5 plays that OSU started on its own 29 that resulted in OSU scoring a TD and tying the game late in the 4th.
PLAY 1: Scared pussy tackle attempt.
Play 2: was a good screen blowup by Taimani
Play 3: Cover 1 man LB blitz against empty set, literally Turner's only job is to help the press corner on the bunch/trip formation on any crossing or inside release seem route, ball will be thrown early because LB blitz against empty set. Starts AGAIN 20 yards off the LOS and backpedals. Pass completion into the space Asa should be just standing in. If this play had a good S this is either an INT or a sack when the QB holds the ball.
Play 4: This is what intentionally taking yourself out of a play to avoid contact looks like... Im convinced he intentionally takes wrong angles and allows defenders to wash him out of the play so he doesnt have to make a tackle.
Play 5: Im telling you, he is actively taking poor angles on purpose so he can avoid contact... OSU TD
I dont know how any coach could watch this and ever play him again. Either the coaches are retarded because they are telling him to play like this (doubtful because the other DBs dont do this shit), or the coaches are retarded because they continue to play him despite him doing the wrong thing, or the coaches are retarded because they dont even know Turner is consistently doing the wrong thing.
He should not be playing football, he isn't even tough enough to play for @PurpleJ's intramural soccer team.
Wattenburg should be happy that OL blocking is boring, slightly more complicated, and Turner sucks so much or he would be getting boo'ed.

Of course the film here on Turner is fucking terrible … makes me long for P-SALM
When WE? switched to cover 1 in the second half (Asa as the cover 1) cook even was left on a man island in coverage outside and played well several times.
Never bash the kids pls
I don't know what the hell happened to him but his time as a safety is done. Remember when Jimmy Lake was a liar because Turner was destined to play LB?
He is a good athlete with ball skills and was a four start WR recruit once upon a tim, maybe they should let him do the reverse Alex Cook?
Cook is surprisingly physical for a former WR btw. I really like him at safety. They should put Hampton next to him and be done with it. They are easily the two most physical safeties on the team. Biggest thing the defense needs is more physicality.
Fire Jimmy Lake, nothing else matters.
My favorite Asa moments is just watch him flash into the play once it’s over. If you focus in on him he does this consistently.
Dude is soft as fuck and our coaches keep playing him
That’s a fireable offense
