Who stood out to you on defense?...

[dawgstudent]

I thought Issac Smith had a really good game. Brian Lanier looks like he could end up being a good DB. Donterry Russell is a talent but he is so small. Need to figure out a way to utilize him where his size is not a detriment.

Kai McClendon looked good when he was in. He will be one of our patented "diamonds in the ruff" that makes it to the NFL.

Nic Mitchell did too.

Ask me next week. To be honest, it was so boring, I switched to something else after about the third touchdown. Just looked back at the score every now and then. I absolutely hate these games even though I think they are necessary for us.

I thought the UNC transfer played well at nose. Bingley-Jones

If you thought Saturday was boring, I’d love to hear your opinion on our offense from 2018-2023

Isaac Smith and Nic Mitchell stood out to me as positives.

DL is issue as we know. Secondary was never really tested so TBD on them.

Not a who, but overall secondary looked better than I expected.

Isaac Smith - had to be DPOG
Brandon Jennings
Donterry Russell
Nic Mitchell
Blanton

Yes, Isaac looks to be the Itawamba Beast at safety. Great energy.

Usually reserved for lineman, but he's my new favorite Dog Defender after week 1.

And a salt of the earth grinder like you read about, who also has exceptional talent.

Isaac Smiff... you know he ready.

Same here. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary.

 

[BonzoGoesToCollege]

Same here. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary.

I was too. And they're gonna need to overachieve because I don't see us getting alot of pressure on SEC QBs with 4.

 

[Shmuley]

Blanton. Lunch pail. Coach on field. Scrappy. Gym rat. Cerebral.

 

[SchrodingersDawg]

Stone seemed a bit faster than Jett.

Yeah the lack of pass rush is the biggest concern for me with this team

[STATEgrad04]

This isnt a defensive player, or a player at all...but what I was pleased with was the game management. As we have had to do too many times in the last several years, we had to see how "smooth" the game would flow with a first time head coach. I thought everything looked organized and never saw players out of position. there were no stupid penalties and everything flowed as a game should. This will be key for sustained success in the future. Also gave me optimism for the D-Coordinator going forward, esp once we can recruit some more horses on that side of the ball.

 

[gtowndawg]

Donterry Russell stood out to me as well. Definetly has a basketball player build right now though.

 

[DawgsOnTheWing]

Isaac Smith and Bingley-Jones. Was pleased with defensive scheme. Not so pleased with pass rush.

Ha! Not boring in that way. Boring as in complete blowout. Just not fun to watch, and I am not sure it really tells us anything. Like the varsity playing the 7th grade team.

 

[tired]

Yeah, I. Smith had a terrific game with double digit tackles. I liked how active Cannon was. I don't know 16 but he was active at LB.

To me some of the guy's in the 4th qtr looked more athletic. I was not impressed with Blanton. He had 0 solos & got caught up alot.

We were very basic on D.

 

[tbobby]

Dink was dominant when he was in. Hope he plays this weekend!
