Travell Dixon's performance on Saturday

I thought he didn't look terrible. A slight bright spot in a sea of chaos and unparalleled failure.

Travell Dixon might be our #2 corner this season.
I know Sidney Jones plays most of the second half after Peters was benched, but he didn't look so great on most of those plays. He didn't allow himself to get beat deep, but there were several passes completed in front of him where he was 2-3 yards away from the receiver. I understand they were playing zone, but he wasn't even position to make some of those tackles (like on the fumble play, he took himself out of the play by being out of position). Still, he tackles, which makes him better than Kelly and should be playing over Kelly.
I don't remember much of Hale or Gardenhire in the game, though I do remember Gardenhire getting beat on one of the TDs over the top when Beaver was late getting over (think it was the one that put them up to 38). -
Question for anyone who watched the EWU scrimmage. Did it seem like the safety help was missing often? From the few highlights and listening on the radio, it seemed like safety help over the top was either late getting to the ball or just not there.

TD 2 - straight man, Timu & Shaq got denied on blitz, Kelly with decent coverage, perfect thrown ball, but an experienced CB should have broken it up
TD 3 - straight man, Budda missed his bump on WR, game over. Late in the game, Budda got closer to his man and bumped him off his route.
TD 4 - Cover 2, the Beav was really late. With all these young safeties, I would love to see them use some Cover 3 looks because it looks like they are getting sucked in by seam and crossing routes.
TD 5 - Zone, Peters had to bump the outside WR, and it looked liked Shaq didn't get in the flat quick enough.
TD 6 - Man by Jones with no safety help. Perfect coverage, perfect throw, perfect catch. Only coaching point would how he played the ball in the air.
TD 7 - Man by King in the RZ, step behind the WR, perfect throw and King did not make the play on the ball.
Dixon looked great outside of the dropped pick. He could be one of those guys who does not bring it in practice, but steps up when the lights are on.
Jones and Kelly looked like they both have a high upside, but are going to struggle at times.
Walker appears to be our best overall safety right now with Budda playing the slot WR most of the time. King and Beavs have the physical tools, but look like they are having trouble reading the play which is a quick death for a S. Cover 3 coach, Cover 3!!!!
One of the big problems was our pash rush not getting to the QB on key plays, and when they did it got nullified by stupid penalties.
Bad news = 52 pts to EWU
Good news = EWU needing a lot of things falling in their favor to keep drives alive and the mistakes created a lot of teachable moments for the coaching staff. -
Poasts like this ^^ are why I happily pay $10.95 each month for this shithole

My biggest issue with the dbs was their inability to get off blocks during the run or bubble screen plays. The coverage was there often like Irish points out, but they need to play the ball a little bit better.
