    If Asa plays like he did against Oregon State and Texas he will be all conference rather easily.

    If he plays like he did against Oregon, bench him
    I hope he has a big year. Just because he is better than whatever else we throw out there does not mean he is a good player. He has not shown anything to be that level. Sometimes upperclassmen step up but I think he is what he is at this point.
    Rewatch the Oregon State game

    He was our best player on defense in a slugfest
    You mean the team that couldn't throw a forward pass and happens to be playing in a massive wind storm? His missed tackle on one their shitty wr was what stuck with me that day. He missed an easy tackle for any pac12 starting safety and spring the guy for a big play. Maybe have been their biggest pass play. The wind was our best defender that day.

    He is not a physical player. But he is also not so good at everything else that it's like he would start for the majority of teams at the power 5 level. He is just the best we have.

    One game does not a player make.
    If he doesn't have a great senior year then go ahead and use the B1G money to replace Morrell.
    Our personnel was bad last year on the outside of the secondary, but the bad technique, lack of improvement and shitty calls had me more alarmed. Blown coverages late in the season. I would be surprised if he turned it around enough to justify his job security. The secondary was gifted a good pass rush last year and couldn't get off the field for long stretches.

    Secondary had a ton of injuries and no depth to begin with

    Adding a true #1 CB with Jabar should help a ton

    Dom Hampton is a liability until proven otherwise

    The doog in me is hoping that after playing almost nothing but zone for 3-4 years in the case of most players, switching to man and being on an island is a bit of a system shock.

    Also hoping for a bit of addition by subtraction not relying on Irvin and Perryman and at times throwing out true freshmen before that were ready.

    Even our best corners of the Petersen era, getting help over the top, got burned a bunch when they were forced out there. Greene is a guy who I think they believe in long term. Davon Banks feels like a Jimmy recruit that will eventually hit the portal. Hampton is a TBS bust until he isn't. Really they're relying on Esteem to live up to the hype he's getting from practice.

    Hampton has been playing out of position. I'm willing to LIPO with him this year

    The secondary’s a liability until it isn’t. Even with a slightly better secondary than last year this is still an 11 win team and I’m good with that.

    If the secondary turns two 1st teamers, the d-line turns 1, and the LBs turn 1; I think something amazing is happening and we may sneak into the play off. We already know we’ll get at least one with the edges.

    Anyways, we can’t have nice things so I’m happy with back to back 11 win seasons heading into the big12.
