    Bryant - was struggling to understand how he was Lake’s favorite after watching him get burned repeatedly by big WR, especially against Stanford and PSU. Like Fuller, Myles has told me to go fuck myself. He’s been the most consistent DB this season. Plays the run fearlessly, is a sure tackler, has gotten hole on some blitzes, and makes plays in coverage. He’s at home at Nickel. I was calling for Molden to beat him out but I was wrong.


    Maybe you fuckers should listen to @Bread
    Next time when he tells you a player is good.


    Bryant lost us Stanford and Penn State last year
    Joyner also got torched vs Stanford. Molden came out for a couple plays against Stanford and promptly gave up a 40 yard bomb. He's my least favorite. That was a weak PI against ASU, but I've seen him involved in quite a few negative plays for a guy who plays so little.

    McIntosh got torched against Penn State. Myles Bryant was a culprit, but nobody played great against either. Murphy had an amazing INT vs Penn State, but gave up a good amount of plays as well.
    Agree on all points. I was thinking the other day about the way our db chart might look next year and actually think Elijah Molden could be a couch sale watch contender. He seems to be pegged as a nickel and is clearly behind Bryant on the depth chart at this point. This will likely carry into next year which means he'd be a true senior before he became a starter. He could move to another cb position but he'd have to beat out Joyner (Murphys current backup), or Taylor (Miller's current backup) along with Hampton, Gordon, and Irvin depending on how their positions sort out. Depending on how things shake out, transferring, using his redshirt year and having 2 more years to play might seem more appealing than backing up Bryant again next year and having 1 more year. Either way it will be interesting.

    It’s not about metrics ... Ty’s also a year younger but I suspect by the end of the year he will take another step up

    As for Fuller, the only area where his lack of ideal size as a #1 shows up is in the red zone ... and unsurprisingly as a team, we haven’t been great there

    We haven't been great in the endzone because of play calling. There are plenty of big red zone targets to choose from: Jones, Otton, Sample.

    That right there is more than most schools could dream of.

    Sample isn’t a pass catcher ... Otten hasn’t done anything yet to suggest he’s a red zone weapon

    Ty Jones is our best opportunity this year for a difference maker ... the rest of our receivers are not showing separation ability in tight spaces and we have a QB that doesn’t throw guys open

    Elite# 2, will probably be all pac12

    Uhh, so do you have Fuller displacing Harry or Arceaga-Whiteside?

    The first and second teams will have 4-6 WR on them.

    He keeps producing these numbers he's going to be 1 of them.

    Stanford is the only tuff D left, maybe BYU

    Video game number games against: UCLA, Ore, Oregon St., and coug remain.

    That's probably giving Col and Cal too much credit, as we'll probably light them up too.

    I like that bet.
