it's beyond obvious that he's our best cover corner

having a man corner like him frees up T White to do whatever he wants

not sure we'll ever get a straight answer as to why it took so long for him to see the field, but I'm glad he's out there

If we could ever get Hill back to 100%, we could move Buford back to safety.

Gifford and Hartzog, who have both struggled, could split the Rover spot. Gifford against traditional sets and Hartzog against spread sets.

I wonder if Blye can play in the slot

honestly, slot might be Tommi's best position, too

Just a hunch but i think James Williams and Ceyair might find a special black jersey hanging N their lockers this week.

That 3-4 or "Double Jacks" look with Princewill and Williams on the edges is tough!

DBs will get tested against Indiana throwing 315 ypg and 73% comp…. 15 TDs to 2 INTs.

Hopefully we get good pass rush and can neutralize the run which has been going for 200 ypg.

Can’t wait to see the Blackshirts rise to the challenge.

To help our defense, the offense needs to sustain drives and score points, …and we need “our new ST coach” to fix the mess.

I don't trust these PFF grades but he's done well. Defense has done just as good or better with him starting. I think that has more to Tony White and the rest of the D. He's a competitor though.

4 games for Blye. IU, USC, Wisconsin, UCLA? Sit him against Iowa and OSU?
I seem to be in the minority with this opinion, but I don't give a **** about redshirts

play the best players, win as many now as possible

tomorrow is less of a given as ever in today's college football

we can play man coverage with him

we can't without him

that's the difference you're seeing

Puzzling why he wasn’t a bigger factor at USC given how terrible their defense was. Luckily, we have him and he should play somewhere even when/if Hill recovers.

He played in 14 games as a freshman had a pick, a handful of PBUs and nearly 30 tackles.

Interesting. We'll see if we go back to cover 4 after the bye or play more man. I think White knew he had to mix it up after the Illinois game.
we won't go back as long as Wright is a starter

nor should we

I am wondering why Wright started the season buried on the depth chart given the obvious coverage limitations of the guys in front of him

but, alas

I feel the same way. Only reason to redshirt is if you are not ready to play, not even on special teams. And by your third year, you should contribute or move on. Exceptions for QB and linemen.

Agreed but Rhule said he'll play 4 and redshirt.

He started 15 games. Heart may not have been in it if he was trying to act too.

An added bonus is if he sticks around another year, our young WR's get to match up with him in practice and can do nothing but help them.

No doubt he had to become sound in TW's defense.

Seems like it takes all transfers into NU a certain period of time to transition into the way Rhule does things. Some are quick to adapt, others, like Mazz and Gilbert take longer and never totally buy in.

Getting Tommi back plus the earlier than expected return of Buddha Wright gives White a lot more options in defending spread teams. Third down against Singleton, Buford, Hartzog, Tommi, Ceyair and Javin doesn’t leave a lot of options for opponents in the pass game.

Like you say, the return of a healthy Tommi and Wright, the insertion of Ceyair and moving Buford to safety and the inclusion, at times, of an additional LB makes this a pretty salty defense.

The next two games, sure tackling is gonna be even more key than normal because of the offensive firepower we are about to face.

Agreed. It might be a good thing too. Buford I think may be better than Malcom at safety. MH has struggled a bit again.
Buford is not a natural corner. FS would be his best fit and he appears to be a step faster than Hartzog. I think Hartzog has decent ball skills but is just a step slow when covering.

As most of you know, I am rarely wrong about anything. Unless it is something that you specifically disagree with. But I was wrong about this kid. What a find! I'm suspicious about any late transfer editions, but I have to remember that Rhule has a trusted coaching network while Frost did not and spent little time on recruiting....

Lighten up. So I disagreed with your conspiracy theory. Big deal. Move on. This isn't Housewives of San Francisco.
You're never wrong about anything, what a joke. You're fun to mess with, fact check that.
