Change at corner

[wrangler]

When you were a starter and you're no longer a starter....... what are you called?

A backup

Or other things over the years: reserve, second string, scrub, etc.

Or you can go with "the player formerly known as a starter".

LMAO I love Volnation.

And if you’re gonna make the change, don’t do it against Florida. So yeah.

Exactly. No harm in building depth or seeing what you have …or proving a point before the sec grind starts. If healthy will still get plenty of PT.

I watched the game again and focused on Burrell. IMO, he is thinking way too much and trying not to make a mistake vs playing fast and with instinct. He has the physical skills.

Hadden plays like he thinks he's the cock of the walk. If Burrell had a little of that he'd be fine.

According to Austin Price, Charles and Hadden will get the start this weekend. Burrell will be benched for this weekend, but still, get a lot of action as the game goes on.

Thank the football Gods! 4 is a liability

Historically, and I pray I’m wrong, but the bu will not be better and we will continue to yell obscenities at the screen

Backup, reserve, 2nd team, next man up, depth,

 

[VOLfrombama]

that was kinda funny.

however, in rewatching that Pitt game, how many times was WB out of position? I believe he contested a lot of the passes thrown to the receiver he covered.

He may have been in zone coverage at times and a yard or two away but was he out of position and a receiver got past him for big yardage or score?

I understand many folks like to drag him here for every little thing but I don't recall him getting "burned".

please feel free to correct me - I'll allow it.

Im glad you were still able to kinda appreciate a joke

AP said he "thinks" it will be a lineup change at corner. We will see on Saturday. I think we need to see what Turnage and Charles can do before this Florida game and if they can help.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Doesn't matter much. Our entire secondary is avg.

Hadden isn’t average. I think Charles and Turnage could be good. McDonald is good.

 

[nomads-11]

At this point Burrell has been more a liability than an asset. I say that in CB parlance. Being over 50% effective as a CB may be ok (all things relative) but Warren...I don't think, is at that level. We gotta find someone....and we may have that person, who can deliver more. Now's the time. Hey, this is still somewhat a business. If you're not contributing (not for the lack of trying) then we need to see someone else.

We owe it to the rest of the guys on the team. We shouldn't be losing due to one guy, in one position. It's not fair.

 

[TVOL71]

When you were a starter and you're no longer a starter....... what are you called?

A non-starter

 

[Vol865]

He is not starting, that is not benched. Those are two very different things.

It still means someone else has earned more snaps

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Hadden isn’t average. I think Charles and Turnage could be good. McDonald is good.

Don’t question the narrative. We don’t have any skill on defense: we just get lucky sometimes.

I recall that my coach in "pony league" baseball would say, "I'm gonna start you at splinter monitor" if we didn't start.

There was less drama about that than some here seem to have about "the B word." Jeez.

 

[rdk4121]

Hadden has been nothing short of fantastic so far. We just have to find someone to play opposite of him. If neither Burrell or Charles can get it done, then let's see some Turnage or hopefully Dee Williams getting healthy.

 

[Clevegasvol]

It is possible that Burrell may be injured.

Spot on

 

[Defcon5]

Hadden has looked really solid so far. The quality of the WRs they're going up against is about to ramp up, but he's been great against the guys he has faced.

We’re seriously hurting in the secondary. Not one SEC quality back out there.

 

[fossilfiction]

When everybody else is hitting, he will be sitting. Better?

Only if all nickel and dime packages are removed from the playbook. Otherwise, no, it's actually pretty stupid of you to say since he is playing Saturday.

You mean this one, @Vol in Buckeye Land?

Whoa is us! Everyone else got scholarship players and Tennessee got leftovers!

Similar to posters on here. Everyone else has quality posters and we get stuck with you.

You don’t mean that. You need me. You’d be a mess without me.
