No injuries to report. Pimpton went down, but went back in shortly after.
Wanted to see his guys handle this as a real game opportunity. Said he thought “some” guys did that.
Thought HP did a good job at inside LB. They ran at him a few times and he handled it well.
Thought Lacy did really well. Showed he’s more than a practice stand out.
Said they need to work on not letting the ball over their head. Coverage mistake cannot continue to happen.
Thought they were good off the edge, but need to get better inside on the dline.
Gabe Reliford had 2 sacks, but it was against freshman. Want to see what he can do against Emery Jones and Will Campbell.
Expect Kylin Jackson to do well covering TE’s, which he did, but want to see his run fits.
Thought Nuss was really good. He was clean and efficient and did what they expect him to do.
Said one of the long touchdowns, they were supposed to be in cover three but were in cover two because of a mistake. Says that flat out cannot happen.
Think the second and third team dline had the upper hand on the oline. Collins and Swann were constantly pressured and thought that’s why they didn’t have great days.
Thinks if they can get DT help in the portal and figure out what to do at corner, they can be a good defense.
Says Kylin Jackson is working his way into a bigger role, but there’s more room for growth.
They’re going to put together a defense that gives them a chance to win the SEC, but thinks the future of this defense is great with the new coaches and their recruiting abilities.
Think Da’Shawn Womack is “ready to play”. They like his energy and thinks he’ll make an impact on the defense.
Says Zavion Thomas had really settled into his role this past week. Same with CJ Daniels.
Says Dashawn McBryde and PJ woodland have had really good springs.
Payton Todd has not been as good as he would like. Said he wanted him to step in today and make him think there was no competition there, but he did not perform well.
Said Blake Baker was very vanilla today. He played 2 coverages and sent a couple blitzes, but he didn’t wanna show the country everything.
