Attrition apparently already starting.

The thing is, I think that if we had back-to-back 10 win seasons to start with Frost, he would get all the good jobs and what not, nothing would be said about Riley recruiting I fell.

The problem I have with this argument is we have no idea if any coach could have back to back 10 win years with the team Frost inherited. The hypothetical doesn't work for me - I believe for Frost to win 10 games, Riley's recruiting/retention/development would have had to have been better. In that case obviously people wouldn't bring it up, but that's because it wouldn't have been an issue if it was better. But it was bad, which is why (among other reasons) we didn't win 10 games.

Really..??   I agree he has bought in and has improved but still a liability back there in my opinion..

Bootle used to be our lock-down cover corner. This year, that's Lamar.

The one thing I'll say is this: I think Lamar does best in press man coverage, but he struggles when he has to play off and come up to make the play. But he's played really well, and not sure if you saw, but he was recently projected as a 1st rd NFL pick...

I'd rank Cam Taylor-Britt as our best defender. Name another player who has performed better this year than Lamar

I like Cam minus last week when he forgot how to tackle.. I'm not a big fan of bootle as well but ill take him over Lamar all day..  I'd love to see a break down of his blown coverage vs break ups..  JMO.

 
Jackson has been burnt a few times this season, and does not like contact. It happens every game where he doesn't come to hit. Stats are usually useless as a CB. Prince and Dennard both had 0 INTs their SR seasons but both were great college corners. Jackson for sure has improved though from past seasons. 

Taylor-Britt, Khalil Davis, Darrion, and JoJo have been better if you're asking me. But that doesn't say much on a real bad defense.
