LOL

Matthieu is best in the slot, close to LOS where he can make plays in the run game and blitzing. Their best cover corner last year was Claiborne BY FAR.

SEC coaches this year said they're less worried about Matthieu when he's outside playing corner than when he's in the slot and is a threat to blitz.

i was dead serious he is way more effective inside than outside just check the NC Game where bama was targeting whenever they threw it. But i would take him over McGee anyday

I was agreeing with you. I know he's better in the slot as a playmaker than outside as a pure cover corner. Coaches actually prefer him outside than inside.
 
Honey Badger is great but he's not a lockdown CB. The draft will prove that. It already kinda has because if he was lockdown he would've went pro. How he's being compared to McGee is beyond me though. Mathieu is a great playmaker and McGee would give his left nut to make as many plays in his career as Mathieu has in one game.


I'll keep my fingers crossed on McGee though. We need him to at least be decent this season. I suspect he might be another Sam Shields type that doesn't get his stuff fully together till he's in the NFL. Some of these Shannon kids, that's all they cared about.
 
McGee is just not very good. I think by the end of the season, he'll have been passed up on the depth chart and not playing many snaps anymore.

Finnie/Gunter/McGee/ then Howard play Nickel/Dime packages.


Anything else you need help with????

Finnie and Gunter will definitely be in the mix bro. Why are you so against starting Howard, or any freshmen against BC??????????????????????? (I've got more ?'s than you) Whoever proves to be the best at our worst position from last year, should be taking the field regardless of class. McGee is the only one of these guys with ANY PT. It's a clean slate.
 
The Honey Badger led LSU in tackles last year.

Let me say that again.

The Honey Badger led LSU in tackles last year.

Even IF he was getting picked on or something, that is ridiculous for a CB to lead the team in tackles.

How many career tackles does McGee even have?
 
There is a difference between being the most experienced and being the best. Honestly I rather put a freshman in there and let him make his mistakes and learn from them than have a senior in there making those same mistakes. He has not shown that he is our best DB. He just has the experience over others. At this point he should not need the coaches to b riding his *** in order for them to get something out of him. Yes it is a motivating tactic but the fact that it is even needed right now says a lot about where Brandon is right now. He should have a stranglehold on his position and should be teaching the other guys. Instead he needs to be motivated. Sad. As long as things are like this we will continue to mediocre. You think Antrel Rolle, Buchanon, Rumpu, ect needed to be motivated at his point in their careers? **** no!

Cityboi has to be trollin. Or is he taking up his Shammin slurping ways again? lol.

McGee is symptomatic of the garbage sewage culture that Shammin left Golden. Underperforming, overrated combine and workout warrior ("fastest man on the team"), but when it comes to games and making plays, turns into a complete puss*cat.

Here you go:

"Mcgee has all the tools to be that player and the coaches are pushing him hard to be an "Elite Corner". If he never becomes and "Elite Corner", which are few and far between, it does not mean he is terrible or sucks. Mcgee would still be a really good college DB."

No. Coaches arent pushing him hard to be an "elite" corner. They are pushing him hard to be a "good" corner because right now, he aint CLOSE to good. He is barely serviceable.

And no, if he does not improve, he would NOT still be a really good college DB. He would be an overrated, underperforming Shammin has been, no different than the battalions of SHammin recruits that never lived up to their hype.

Serious question, is McGee as good a player and as reliable as Markese Fitzgerald?( who was a very solid nickel back and role player for UM)

Says a lot about where the talent level has gone the past decade, doesn't it?

Wow.

Good question.

McGee is our most experienced CB. He's probably the most gifted physically of the CB's, but based on what he's shown throughout his career, and these early practice sessions, its ridiculous to say he's our "best" CB. This is year 4 and he has shown absolutely nothing since his freshman year. A senior should not need these types of buttons pushed, and I agree wholeheartedly that he still wears the stench of entitlement; he sits out with flu symptoms, while Finnie, with a bum ankle, has to literally be restrained and strait-jacketed to be kept off the field. That speaks volumes.....

He is our best DB. People can hope and wish Tracy Howard or insert any other freshman name if they like, but it will not change the fact that by far and it is not even close that Mcgee is our best DB. The coaches are just pushing him to be the lock down corner UM desperately needs. There are very few "Elite Corners" in which a DC can dial up an aggressive coverage/blitz package where they can leave their Field side corner in man to man with no help. Having the luxury of players like Patrick Peterson, Phillip Buchanan or Tyrann D. Mathieu (Honey Badger) who can hold it down allows for the DC to call aggressive plays periodically to stop game changing drives. Last year Mcgee was 0-7 on the plays when Coach D dialed his number.

Mcgee has all the tools to be that player and the coaches are pushing him hard to be an "Elite Corner". If he never becomes and "Elite Corner", which are few and far between, it does not mean he is terrible or sucks. Mcgee would still be a really good college DB.

You could've just said by default and saved the keystrokes.

I would not say by default. All players don't need coaching. Some just have "it" and only need instructions. Tracy Howard would be an example of a player that does not need coaching. Just give him instructions and he is good to go. For players that only need instructions, simply show them one or two times and they have it. While some players you have to "coach" and earn your paycheck. Some of the best football players on the planet had to be "coached". From experience, these player will make you pull your hair out at times because you spend so much time with them trying to polish their game just for them to do the opposite of what you are teaching. Remember a coach will never be hard on a player if they did not have talent or waist much time with them. I am glad that our coaches see the tools Mcgee has and are putting in the effort to make him "Elite". They probably have lost a lot of hair over Mcghee..lol But I think he will do well this year.

honeybadger is no lockdown corner he is just a play maker.

Stop it. You can't be serious.

U obviously havent seen Honey Badger play except for highlights on Sporstcenter if u think he's a lockdown corner. Pat Pete and Mo Claiborne were lockdown corners. Big difference.
