I think it completely changes our defense. Possibly the 2 best corners in all of college football playing opposite each other gives our pass rush even more time to get home. Not like they really need it.

I did not play football. Never once said that.

I played soccer in college. I live next to a former VFL linebacker. It’s how I’ve gotten to know Tony and other older VFLs. I watch games with plenty of former players. Been lucky.

Ohh okay. I apologize. I knew you said you played college ball I just assumed. Very lucky man!

Boo caused the pick 6, and had a big hit. Boo moves differently from the other star/safeties. I hate he had a bad offseason. He’s a playmaker, and we don’t have a lot of that back there.

Just watched it. He didn’t “cause” it. The ball was thrown way behind the WR and boo tipped it to Hood.
Boo absolutely moves different and can be a difference maker. But he’s just not right now. Plus with the off-season stuff to go along with him not wanting to be here( his momma saying once portal opens they ain’t gonna be heard from) it’s just hard to get behind the kid.

Tired of hearing all the Boo Carter stuff. Everybody on the team can't be an altar boy. The STAFF is managing Boo and likely other players who have "issues" that the public is not aware of. Boo knocked the crap out of a guy on a bubble screen that should have been reviewed as a possible fumble. It's in our best interest if he's doing what he's capable of for the team. It matters NONE if some of you people don't like him. Just my two cents.

I would caution folks to think McCoy is going to play at the same level as last year. He is only 9 months removed from ACL surgery, no fall camp to speak of and no game action. It is going to take time and expect him to split reps with Redmond initially

Will the staff look for another portal cb given the success with McCoy and Hood on back to back years. I think they will as it also give younger guys time to develop. Just my $.02.

If McCoy returns this season, that will highly impress me from a character standpoint.

As noted, he's only 9 months removed from the ACL, it would be fully understandable and still is, if he doesn't play this season.

But, if he does play, with nothing to gain besides being on the field with this team, is a risk that some of us may not take. He does have a NFL career opportunity in front of him. We all know he has people in his ear who are telling him what he should do and shouldn't do.

I don't believe, I at that age, would have the maturity to process all of this.

I'm a McCoy fan rather he returns or not. Of course, I love the idea of him playing and helping this team. But, I'm not going to be angry if he doesn't make it back.

I do think Boo is playing himself back into a starting role... But to claim he's better than Hood is absurd.

Hood & Farooq are imo the 2 best secondary guys we've got right now...Redmond getting that baptism by fire and it'll be good for him long term.


Ideally we get McCoy back and he's 100% and Boo beats out McMurray or Turrentine to start at S or STAR.

Farooq might be solid enough in defending the pass, but the kid is very iffy with tackling.

Sounds like Mccoy is ready to go and it's up to the medical staff.
