El Capitan

[Jackofalltrades]

I have ZERO issues with our CB's.

Safety on the other hand...

Said it before captain its a liability in coverage and teams do try to pick on him, lucky we got some coaches who as well seen this and adjusting by not really leaving him out by himself and using him to blitz.

On one drive, Captain goes head to head against Percy Harvin, getting owned I thought right on our bench. The next drive, Captain goes and straight RIPS the ball out of Percy Harvin's hands.

Defense has too many problems to count. Captain is the least of our problems IMO. Not a great corner but makes up for a lot with his hustle. I think Butler has more natural talent/ability that Captain so I think he eventually becomes our #2 corner. Its incredible how much our defense regresses without Jon Beason and Thomas Davis on the field. Our corners do a pretty good job on the WRs. The LBs however are atrocious. They can't cover, can't read an offense, don't make adjustments at the LOS, and are some of the slowest 4-3 LBs I've ever watched. Their pursuit to the sideline is horrible. Getting Beason back next year and possibly adding another talented linebacker through the draft or FA should provide the improvement we need to start winning games.

I like Captain, but he still gets caught of position too often.

That is inaccurate.

Was writing on my phone, but not to take away from 41 he had a helluva game sunday.but him in coverage scares me, qbs do look his way a lot.

[Jackofalltrades]

They have to pick on him, Gamble isn't giving anything up this year.

[Razzy]

That is inaccurate.

Really? If I had the game tapes and I could go back and find several plays where Captain is either playing way too far underneath or is 5+ away from his receiver. He has a bad habit of trying to jump routes early.

[Jackofalltrades]

I'm not saying he's perfect, but do people expect all of our CB's to be shutdown guys? He gives up catches, but rarely gives up big plays, is generally a very good tackler and is a very solid cover guy. He's too aggressive at times, but doesn't warrant the trashing he gets on here. Everyone raves about Butler but he's failed to overtake the starting role.

How 'bout that Week 8 prediction?

[jasonluckydog]

Captain is a Gamecock, nuff said.

[jasonluckydog]

that's a good thing

[Razzy]

Agreed, Captain makes more plays than he misses and he does seem to get thrown at more than anyone. I just want to see more consistency.

Yeah, that week 8 was a stinker.

I've been defending this guy for a year in the stands and on this board. His energy has been infectious. 41 is a number I key in on often.
