isn't playing like a rookie that is for sure. Could win Rookie DPOY. Nice thought on adding Toledo's DB coach Sunset. I like it.

This is only his 3rd year coaching in college. All of his other experience came from coaching at the high school. level He has almost 20 years experience in total.

Obviously you're right, but hell, if he can just come up and shut down the screens and hitches it would be better than what we saw last week.

(12-05-2024, 12:48 PM)coachmcneil71 Wrote: In total agreement! Battle should be starting moving forward. At the very least Anderson should get more snaps imho. Mainly because unfortunately, Stone blows and Bell has diminished. 

Of curse I'm not suggesting that Anderson is the way moving forward. We all know that it can't get much worse on the back end. They're terrible!

I said it when it happened and many have mentioned it since, but losing Jessie Bates to the ATL was a serious loss. Between him and Awuzie, they could take away areas of the field and dictate to the offenses a little. 
The cats we have now, including the injured ones, are soft whipping boys.  Battle is probably the only dog in that secondary other than Hilton, and we don't even know this for sure yet.

As to Bates, didn't Lou say it would be a dark day if Bates or Bell left? Hell, they BOTH did.
