No, it's not good for the team that three of the top six tacklers are DBs. Jelani's tackle total (he's also tied for second in solo tackles) does indicate that he's making some plays. I was pretty hard on Jelani last year, but he's done nothing this year to merit being a whipping boy. We'll see how he performs against the Broncos, but the DBs aren't really an area of concern; our front seven is the where we need significant improvement.falconboy wrote:Again in my humble opinion NOT GOOD!!!!1987alum wrote:I didn't see the Ball State game, but Jordan played pretty well against Wisky.

We really don't know how good or bad our secondary is this year until we play a team like Boise tomorrow. A couple of picks vs a 90% run the whole game Wisky team and a lousy Ball St. team doesnt get me too excited just yet. A real test will be tommorow.BelieveNBG wrote:It doens't have to be a bad thing if you've got db's that got a clue. The hope is that our db's come prepared and ready to dish out some good man to man coverage and tackle people. I don't want to see Jelani getting beat for the 400th time this game and once again look like he's retarded out there. If I see Jelani or Smith left out to dry by the safteys again for a long td pass I'm going to I expect him as senior to set a different tone this year and become a playmaker for US not the opposition.
OK Falconboy,
First off...our DBs have 3 interceptions after only 2 games and 2 were by those safeties. Jelani was player of the week at Ball State and had great coverage, which is why no deep balls were even attempted in his direction. Second of all, when a team is ramming the run down your throat, safeties must also key in for the run, which means one on one coverage for the corners and that's something a corner must know how to do. That does not mean the safeties did not do their job and it does not mean they left anyone out to dry. Last, I think our coaches have a clue and our DBs also have a clue, with 3 of the 4 starters from last year. If anyone is clueless...(maybe I will stop here).
more importantly...
GO BG!!!![]()

...which means they had very few plays to accomplish getting an interception. Still sounds good to me.

Well thank you for that visual.Jacobs4Heisman wrote:I don't think Shaun Suisham's girlfriend naked with BG painted on her chest would get you excited about this team.
Since they haven't been tested yet, why assume they'll be terrible? Let's give them a chance before we jump off any bridges.
GO BG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PUMMEL THE BRONCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Oh yeah....................
I am much more nervous about the possibility that Boise State may be able to pound the ball on the ground.falconboy wrote:BTW, Coach mentioned that Boise likes to throw it deep ALOT!! I'm getting a little more nervous bout this game. Coach said Boise doesn't care if receivers are covered or not , they'll just throw it up there. Man , not good for our db's unless we can get some bad throws and pick em off. I'll tell ya , we are going to need a pass rush once and for all in this game. If we have none , we'll get beat deep alot. Boise apparently has a 230lb wideout who's going to be hassle to cover and tackle. It just keeps on getting better for our D doesn't it?
They might.
