Our freshman cornerback

[mudhen]

Man, talk about a baptism by fire, Ty Redmond got thrown into it against Georgia. I watched the game again, and considering that Ty is a true freshman, I believe that he did as well as he possibly could have and hopefully learned a lot. No doubt the coaches are going to use the film to give him a lot of insight for the future. Go big Orange!

I thought he played pretty well and that TD against him the receiver pushed off.

 

[Orangecrush#27]

He made some plays himself. Shows hes a got Some fight to him. Going to be a great cb for us if He stays on the right path.

That would have been difficult for experienced DB’s to defend. Kid held his own, pretty good for a freshman.

We had another freshman back in the Fulmer era that Florida burned a couple of times in one game. Was his first name Ronald or maybe, last name Moore?

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

He's got first round pick written all over him. He's this good now, imagine how good he'll be 2 years from now. And he has the size and length NFL scouts drool over for a corner.

 

[ftsandersvol]

With some of the throws Stockton was making a Pro Bowl NFL DB couldn’t have changed the outcome.

 

[wmcovol]

He’s gonna really get tested but he’s gonna be fine.

He’s a future All SEC CB

 

[Eastknox865]

The young man is going to be great. As a coach, well you shouldn't have kept leaving him on an island by himself especially when he is on the Georgia sideline. Blitz the safety on the other side and leave the kid help.

 

[Ghost of Archvol]

Yep, thought he played well. And yes, that 4th and 6 TD, the receiver did push off for separation.

 

[VawlIn]

He’s going to be great if he can improve his ball skills. It’s just something the coaches are going to have to work with him on

It's not like he was nowhere around, it was a great route, great throw, and great catch.

 

[hound dog hillbil]

That dude gave his all, cant expect more

 

[INKYBERRYVOL]

Redmond, Hood, Gibson, McCoy and throw in Boo. That is excellent athletic talent in the secondary.

If McCoy and our DTs can come back we can be something special (yea, I said it) on defense. An offense that mixes long drives with splash quick TDs with a solid defense can go a long way!

 

[Orange Navy]

Just curious. Why didn't we see more of Boo at STAR and McMurray at Corner? I agree with the positive comments about Redmond. However, I read that he had more snaps than any other defensive player? That doesn't seem right for a true freshman.

Boo makes too many mistakes in costly situations. They need to find a replacement in the portal and move him to offense in the spring

I think his technique is the biggest thing right now. He’s got really good size for a CB. I feel like he can play routes from a trail technique and just stay in the hip pocket of the receiver.

On the TD, i think he should’ve been over of the receiver because when the push off occurred, there was too much space between him and the WR.

Corner is mastering the subtle nuances and yes, skills is the separator amongst good to great CB play. I do like his physicality and he has a bright future if he keeps fine tuning.

These reps he’s getting now are so valuable while McCoy and Gibson are out

That muffed punt. And then on that 4th down at midfield, he gave up inside leverage way too easily on the slant imo. He seems to be not fully in which he absolutely cannot have

When playing trail, he let the receiver stack him and have too much space between himself and the sideline. The throw looked great, but Stockton had a huge target zone that the Wr just had to manage.

Yeah I didn’t think he should’ve played trail. I’d have played off and drove on anything in-breaking, slant/post/dig. In that situation, play top-down but nothing over your head.

You are asking a lot of a true freshman.

He didnt push off anymore than brazzell did

You really think he stays after this season?

 

[Milehigh_Vol]

even if the WR pushed off, that throw is hard to defend. I think he was in the right place, just amazing throw.

Agreed, but it was a man beating switch-release route with the more dangerous WR (Branch) going inside. I can’t remember if the CBs passed it off or carried their assignments, but either combo is really hard to defend in man over the top, especially when the offense needs only 6 yards. I remember UT playing a simulated pressure inside with guys from the line dropping, which tells me Banks was thinking slants or crossing routes near the sticks. Vertical leverage could leave a stop or square in wide open.

In man coverage against a man beater, the CB was right there. Hard to ask more of him.
