DRFS Triuger Warning for @Mad_Son -
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.

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).

But yeah, Hampton was horrible. Even worse than Turner since he couldn't stay within 20' of a slot receiver. -
Hampton wasn’t a safety…but yeah, he sucks.

Well travelled?
Where did he go? -
Kinda wondered why he doesn't get run at LB.

He was spotted in Berlin by @Pitchfork51 and there were reports that he traveled around South America for a stretchwhlinder said:Well travelled?

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:

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.

Asa looked much better this year than in years past.
He actually played really well against Oregon State and Texas. Oregon, not so much.
Hampton is only noticeable when he gets burned.
Im fine with Turner if we have a more phyiscal presence at the other safety position. Hampton was supposed to be that dude and isnt anywhere to be found, other than a big penalty versus UCLA and a few torches versus Oregon.
The secondary is definitely not great after a decade of physical, sound play. Need big improvements from Turner and everyone else. -
Still unfathomable to me that DeBoer couldn’t land the All Conference safety from Fresno, who instead chose to be a fucking duck.

I mean his brother went to Oregon so I wouldn't call it unfathomable. Still seems like he should have been a get.SonnyShackelford said:Still unfathomable to me that DeBoer couldn’t land the All Conference safety from Fresno, who instead chose to be a fucking duck.

Hampton was our nickel and played mostly coverage. It's probably a good thing we didn't remember him last season, he got beat a couple times. Having him play outside leverage on Donte Thornton with no safety help in the MOF had me screaming for Morrell to be fired. He was mostly solid all year.

Not intending to be negative, but if Im the other teams OC and he is on the field I'm going to design plays where he is forced into 1/1 coverage with my primary receiver through forced switches as the play evolves for an over the top play for 6. Bluntly put, he is a good tackler but is slow even for a safety ~ you definitely have to cover up for the guy with your scheme.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

Under lake is looked like Asa was playing a lot more man to man, and was the “robber” in man-free coverages which - exposes his slow ass. The scheme this year went more and more towards leaving him in the 1 high safety role, keeping everything in front of him rather than having him actually have to guard a WR.TheRoarOfTheCrowd said:

In the ASU game they threw in Dunn to play that same role as Asa and he was 3-4 yards farther out of position… not good.
In short - Morrell / Inge found out quickly that he can’t cover shit, and they found a way to hide him.
