I know he was burnt against Tenn twice and we discussed him then, but I have a little different question.

How do you think NCST will plan to use him tomorrow against us?

Will they
1. Try to shut down one specific WR most likely Dorsett?
2. Try to shut down a specific side of the field, like Morris's right hand side where he has the best vision out of the drop?
3. Use him soley as the Field Corner to cover the WR who is in the most space?
4. Other

My guess is #3. We don't really have a premier WR that needs shutting down, so I think he will stay out at Field Corner and cover the most ground and they will likely cheat the safeties away from him to help out against the run and in zone.

I think we are going to need to run the ball, throw to our backs, and actually get the Tight Ends involved to be successful this week. I think our WR's might struggle by one getting covered by a really good experience CB and that allows the other to be double teamed if Amerson doesn't need any help.

I would also like to see Dorsett go deep on Amerson early if he is in single coverage press, even if we miss long it gives them somethign to think about leaving him out on an island.

I expect him to defend Hurns all game unless Dorsett and DJ go off like last week. But I do think he will be pressing most of the time trying to use his size and strength to throw off the timing of routes between Morris and the receiver. After watching the Tennessee game I think Fisch will target him a lot with double moves by the receivers, mainly Dorsett and Johnson two of our fastest receivers.

just because we finally had a couple receivers show up big doesn't mean all of a sudden nc state will follow one of them around and shut him down
 
Duval, Thats what I think, they will leave him on the wide side of the field, in press and without safety help. It could be a key matchup, even jsut the one on one blocking him in the run game will be key.
 
They better put him on Davon Johnson because he is about to blow up. That is Morris' new safety blanket.

I'm not too worried about Amerson because they'll be getting a heavy dose of our run game.

James and Duke will wear them fools out.
 
Q - Hey how do you think NCST is going to use their best defensive player.

A - Umm we gonna run the ball real hard.

Dorsett and Scott are gonna tap dance all over that fool like so many wanna-be starlets at Carnegie Hall.
