Tyler Barron never saw ...

I’m not sure we can pla a 4-3 against ‘Cuse. They play 4 wide quite a bit. We will likely be in Nickel for most of the game.
Think we will be okay if markeith, Pruitt, popo, and brown get snaps.

This board is going to hate the game on d forsure. Syracuse is going to get their yards. We need 3-4 stops and the offense not to be off

Hence why we need Damari for this game. And I would take my chances with Pruitt being on field more vs dropping down ZP and having Harris playing more at S or an extra corner on the field not named OJ, Brown, or DJP. But it's definitely gonna be a chess match. Cuse will score some points. Th game ultimately comes down to our offense. Offense plays at above average level we will be in Charlotte.
 
Guidry actually made the adjustments thank God:

1. Benched Baron
2. Put Mesidor outside
3. Got Moten more reps at DT
4. Went more 4-3 alignment
5. Got Pruitt more reps at LB

If Alston is ready next week no reason for Baron to play at all. Time to start Moten next to Barrow. And keep the 4-3 with Pruitt starting alongside Kiko & Wes. Would love to see Popo play over Kiko but with the politics involved to keep his lil bro Francis happy that won't happen. Guidry deserved to be roasted after Ga Tech but he made great adjustments. Let's see how he handles the pressure of Cuse.
They’ve played 43 quite a bit all year. Bust most teams don’t allow for a lot of 3lb. Popo does not generally play instead of kiko he plays over Wes or alderman. Not to say he cannot play middle bc but he generally plays WITH Kiko or chase smith.

Syracuse the main question is what they do with damari. If he plays outside then I guess porter moves back in and meesh to safety with markeith back to the bench. Right now 15 comes in when 0 drops down
 
What about Bain , I think he needs more rest every time I ask or critique his play people here say he’s healing and needs time to rest and recover with therapy on sideline with Pilates type strength exercises?

What’s the deal with his condition?
Bain is a sophomore and being doubled. I actually think yesterday was the best he's looked since he has been back. Bain is getting there. My honest opinion is moving Mesidor back to end is the true key, HE is the difference maker and can do multiple things. I've just been out on #9 for a few weeks now if not months. Ive grown to strongly dislike him as a player. He's selfish. I don't think people really understand how much he was out there doing what he wanted to do and not following instructions. You can be a one dimensional pass rusher IF you get home and sack the QB. He wasn't doing that so what you had out there was a statute with helmet and pads on. Shoutout to the espn commentator who called him out for his boneheaded play. I just expected better from a fifth year senior. Once Alston gets back, he shouldn't play another down here unless an injury occurs.

He plays next to Kiko because the politics of the Mauigoa bros keeps him on field constantly. Popo is a true MLB. Damari should be playing nickel with OJ & DJP on the outside.

I don't think we can play without a nickel back on the field against 'Cuse. Pena/Gadsen/Allen are all matchup nightmares against a LBer trying to cover them. Better off with a nickel corner covering Pena, a safety on Gadsen, and a linebacker on Allen versus a linebacker trying to check Pena out of the slot.
 
Idk if Messidor wanted that move inside but it was awful for him as he’s been irrelevant until today…

It’s a bad wake team no doubt but it was nice to see the Dline wake up that second half
he came here to not play inside.

hes not strong at the point of attack inside.

hes solid on the outside and still gets pushed around a bit but better on the outside
 
Shame on him for not going all in and putting the team first. He has first round measurables but none of that matters if you can't play in the scheme of the defense and do your own thing.

lot of hyperbole in this thread...

gonna 100 percent need Baron next week to generate pressure against CUSE.

UNlike wake they have a legitimate passing attack.
Baron is a net negative. If Alston can play he can the same value in pass rush without being so terrible vs the run.
