Firstly great play by Gordan, but take that play out.

Every time I have seen this guy play this year he is making plays. I get Dooley says he is nickel guy. Here is my point. When you are not running nickel shouldn't that guy being playing safety. When you roll to nickel put Randolph or whoever in and put Gordan at nickel. I know that is not normal, but to me Gordan makes plays behind the line of scrimmage knocks passes down and this is second pick this year and he is not even out there all the time. Wagner and Gordan are the guys in the secondary that I believe can make a game changing play. However Gordan can be very physical too. Keep that guy on the field as much as possible, Thoughts?

He makes a big play or a bust, no in between. He got burned last week against Arky...He is right at home though at nickel, imo...Kind of like a quick, miniature LB.

He can be a good player. I just think there are better options.

This, he is good in run support and in the short to short-medium coverage but has been burned a good few times. He's a good nickel guy.

I watched him at Hillsboro once, he was easily the best player on the field that day.

He gets burned for big plays too often. I think he got burned against cinncy, and a few of our SEC games. Can't recall which teams, I think UGA and USC jr were games where he got burned in, I could be wrong about those two but I know he lets up the big play often and that's the main reason he lost out on some playing time.

If he can improve in pass coverage he will play a lot he is by far the best corner we have stopping the run...

This secondary has a long way to go. It had some terrible plays tonight, and some game winning plays. We have some young bright spots that hopefully pull it together as a unit next year. Our front 7 will be better, if the secondary gets consistent our D could be solid.

I recall he had a pick-6 before this season, last year I guess it must have been.

The Dline improving will also help the secondary. Pass rush needs to be better next year. The Dline has made some strides this year. We need to finish up our class strong with these JUCOS we are in on.

I went to Hillsboro with Gordon. I'm looking forward to seeing more big plays from him before he's done.
