The whole, handing out more or less than 11 blackshirts bothers me. Get off my lawn.

 

[Pipe Line]

I feel like that could have been formatted much better

Agreed. With todays game, I could maybe see awarding one to an extra DB due to how frequently nickel packages are used nowadays. That would be 12. But that’s the absolute max.

I'm not high on the guy's ability. Although he has made some big plays, int's, etc.

He is slow, and isn't a great tackler. Those are two things that aren't good for a safety (or any football player). That being said, he is a starter, so the coaches must think he is the best option right now. I am hopeful he is at least good, and not a liability.

I think we may have some guys behind him who may be better overall, but it's gonna play out on the field - if Farmer doesn't get the job done, they will give other guys shots to do so. I just hope he doesn't make mistakes that cost us games if he isn't getting the job done until we can play a guy who may be better.

Buford starting seems big since he's a freshman. Also looks like this means Hill is starting too.

I agree. He had 2 INTs against NW 2 years ago and then got hurt. From what I've heard coaches say that he knows his assignments and has good instincts which can make up for lack of speed. Besides those 2 INTs though he looks like he is just going through the motions. Maybe that injury slowed him down but I just haven't been impressed.

I am not a fan of what I've seen from Farmer thus far, but I'm going to hold off on further judgment based on Fisher's track record. Seems to be one of the few spots on the team that has reloaded year in and out.

I wonder if he's gotten better at anticipation. My recollection is when he got beat on the flea flicker last year against Michigan State it was more a case of being caught flat footed than not being fast enough to get there.
