It’s fall preseason and that means I am watching film!
Kid didn’t look good. Looked like the heat got him. He wasn’t thinking straight, taking bad angles and he dove way too often. I keep thinking about that not-so-old adage, “You can’t do epic shit with basic bitches” and it has me thinking he needs to be thinking about how he stays focused and trains right outside of what is happening with the team. The #1 thing the kid needs to do in-play is stay under control. Bring your feet. Don’t lose them.
The number one thing the kid needs to do overall is show the passion. You watch the film and there are moments he pops. He looks the part for sure. He has the size and speed to be that guy in the secondary, but he has to show he’s hungry. He looks well fed. He does not always finish plays the way he should and needs to read the QB better on the broken plays.
All of this is fixable. I still believe in the kid and believe he has a D1 chance. The window to make the most of that is closing, so he needs to act now. The season starts next week. He needs to bring it.
