Has Bo had a pissed off post-practice presser yet?

Green is not all that athletic. He did a fine job the last couple of years, but we have a lot better players at the CB position now, so he's about 3rd or 4th string at CB.

I can't get past that play in the Georgia game where Green got burnt. It was fundamentally wrong in every aspect. After the receiver blew by him, he locates the ball to late and just kind of flails at it. He must have made slight contact or at least thought he made contact with the ball, but it wasn't enough and the receiver caught it. My biggest problem was at that point, when Green knew he either had a play on the ball or the reciever, yet he didn't even attempt to tackle the receiver? Didn't even try? By the time Green realized the receiver caught the ball, the guy had pulled away. Boneheaded f'ing' play. Of course, the other bone head was P.J. Smith for collapsing on an under route when Stafford was already playing shallow. Smith allowed the reciever fifteen yards behind him before he realized he f'd up.

Two things:

1) Why are people questioning Green's ball skills? He has enough to have started at CB for several games last year. He and Evans were easily the best tacklers in the secondary (maybe the whole team), so I think it makes sense to try him at safety.

2) Why all the love for CJax at safety? He had some good special teams plays, but could barely crack the defensive lineup last year. He did worse in ball skills IMO than Green, so why should he be a safety?

I keep getting visions of Green getting smoked in the Wiscy and Georgia game.

Oh I see you already covered that EZ. I guess my question would be for you RedDenver. Where did you see enjough of CJax at any defensive position to judge his ball skills? I'm not saying your wrong, I just hardly remember him playing? Personally, I think he's athletic enough to play either CB or Safety..

Sipple implied the media access was cut back because of the booster that may or may not have been critical of Bo.

The media access has been changed twice - if I've followed everything correctly, the first practice with media availability was moved back because of the fan day incident (Dirk being Dirk, allegedly). Then later that week, the booster article came out, and Bo changed media access again on the following Monday.

I've got no problem with CJax at safety. There's just been some talk in this thread that we HAVE to get him on the field. I'm curious what makes people think that.

EDIT: When I said CJax didn't have the ball skills of Green, that's based mostly on the fact that Green was playing corner and CJax was on the bench. The few times I saw CJax he looked about the same as all the other DB's.

On a slightly different note: there's a lot of love for Terry Joseph that I don't quite get. The CB's have been good, but our safeties have been horrible. I don't have anything against him, I just don't understand the confidence.

our safeties have sucked because lack of talent. not because of joseph. he is a hell of a coach and i would go out on a limb and say he is the best one we have had here in some time. better then marvin.

Cjax was a freshman and Joseph has only been here a year. CJackson has talent. If you want to talk about seeing the field Cjax saw it just as much as a freshman as the backup nickel as Harvey did as a 3rd year soph. The fact that Harvey has been here 4 years and has barely saw the field as much as a freshman, should tell you all you need to know IMO

Ok. I'm not even saying he isn't good or won't be good, but why do you think Joseph is better? Or why is he good at all?

Joseph has only been here a year, so there's not much to go on. I don't know or even have much of an opinion of the guy. I'm really looking for some insight here if anybody has some.

CJax could be phenomenal or he could fade into the background, I'm not taking a side here. Being better than Harvey Jackson is something. I guess I just don't see why there's such excitement for him.

 
If professional respect means anything, TJ could have coached at a few SEC schools had he not wanted to be here.
