Only change I would make would be in the Dime, I'd replace Thomas with Jackson. Jackson has shown far better cover skills than Thomas who is constantly getting beat. I like what I have saw from Battle in his limited action.
Thomas has lots of flaws but he is a beast tackler. Use him only when you expect a run and on special teams
Specialy is definitely a place where Thomas could excel. However I'd take my chances with a LB if I'm expecting run or Jackson. Thomas is too much of a liability and O's single him out when he is in the game. When Jackson is covering the slot he does a great job of containing his man in coverage.
Didnt see any game discussion but has anyone discussed key blowing containment and/or getting killed in coverage. whats up with him. i guess being young is showing and the game is going by at warp speed to him.
He's great at taking an outside rush and getting after the QB, but he has a lot to learn about playing DE in the SEC. That's about what you would expect from a true freshman, but he has big time potential.
im gonna blame it on growing pains going against an opposing coach who has a lot of shit figured out already. that team looks drastically different than when muschamp was there at any point. even with the same qb who was godawful in the muschamp offense. this uf team plays hard.
He's shown lack of understanding in other games too, but he's also shown great upside. If he has the motivation and drive to learn he will be great in the future.
yes hes been getting worse which has me concerned. id have to rewatch saturday but he looked lost on a lot of plays as i saw it live.
