It's Safety First for Huskies' Well-Traveled Dominique Hampton

He was spotted in Berlin by @Pitchfork51 and there were reports that he traveled around South America for a stretchwhlinder said:Well travelled?
Where did he go? -
I watched the Apple Cup highlight video Stalin poasted and even casually watching that I saw Asa miss 2 relatively easy tackles one of which would’ve been a 4-5 gain that turned into a 12 yard gain and a first down.chuck said:
Asa made like 4 tackles on camera and posters went right back to praising him on here. If course they only saw the tackles, not the strategic misses. The excuse making and player dooging quieted down after @HoustonHusky posted a bunch of gifs of him making his usual subtle moves to avoid tackling.WoolleyDoog said:Been watching some highlights of last year recently and good god the safeties were bad, especially outside of Asa (and I don't think he's very good). Cook basically made the one play against Nix and then nothing else. Hampton was invisible and when he showed up it was giving up a touchdown. Becky London was crushed on third downs and in the red zone.
But yeah, Hampton was horrible. Even worse than Turner since he couldn't stay within 20' of a slot receiver. -
He's way too pretty to be a tackling specialist. He makes up for it by ball hawking so much...to the tune of about 4 picks and fewer pass breakups in his career (guesses). The thing about pass breakups is that they often require a risky, physical act. Not his lane.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

Asa isnt amazing but he is much better than Hamptonchuck said:

Rewatching that seems accurate to me. Turner was not good but he didn't have the obvious times of getting beaten for big plays and TDs that Hampton and the rest of the gang did.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

I hate Turner but there is something to the defense always being better with him on the field. He will never like tackling. That isn’t going to change.

Hampton can't run.

Supposedly he can but it sure wasn't showing up last season.BleachedAnusDawg said:Hampton can't run.
He actually looked better under Lake though. I'm going to doog and hope that not being responsible for covering slot receivers will turn him loose and he'll at least be a good tackler like I previously thought he was. -
Tallest midget out there at times is what you're really saying, and it wasn't always true. One shouldn't discount the plays made against the defense that a safety who isn't a pussy might've stopped for modest gain.RoadDawg55 said:I hate Turner but there is something to the defense always being better with him on the field.
