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!

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

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
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.

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.
