Safeties - Jadar and Jayron
Nov 10, 2014, 3:57 PM
|

I'm not sure I understand why TJ Green is going to start while Robert Smith is out.... all preseason and even early regular season we heard alot about both Jadar and Jayron.... and of course everyone knew Robert Smith was solid if not great.... I never heard a word about TJ Green, and I havent liked what he has shown in games at Safety... why not let Jayron and Jadar play at the same time? They are obviously the 2 best options at that position....I know there are difference btwn free and strong safety, but enough to let a total green horn star against GT? Bad Idea!!

Thats why Coach V needs to put his butt up in the coaches box..Between constantly running on the field and not putting the best 11 that YOU see into the game he is dropping the ball on this whole defensive coaching thing..

Apparently Venables is very specific about the 2 safeties

Plus, Green is a better tackler and Johnson is a better cover-man. Tackling is more important in the GT game.

that's a good point, and Green does tackle well...hopefully he can keep his butt in the right spot saturday also... Paul JOhnson is great at finding those holes

While the GT game is a little scary I don't forsee our D line giving GT a lot of running room. Green just needs to play his area and make sure not to get beat deep also he gives the team a good big option with him and Kearse against GT's 2 big options on the outside.

I would guess that they don't cross train the 2 Safety positions. Kearse and Green are our SS, and Smith and Johnson are our FS. Now, I get what you're saying about the preseason talk about the Keare/Johnson battle. But maybe since Kearse has taken a stronghold of the spot, Johnson has taken reps exclusively at FS.
Good point, though.

2 different positions-- Green has played quite a bit

and you obviously haven't paid attention to what the coaches have been saying about him the last 2 years.
Any saftey is going to be susceptible to the play-action against these guys. I'm sure he is being warned about relentlessly in practice this week but Robert will be headed in with fresh legs to start the 2nd half.
This game is going to be dependent on our O. GT is going to get their points particularly playing at home. Our D guys have to play their responsibilities and disrupt their timing-- we need to make them put the ball on the ground.

they were raving about his athleticism, they recruited him

as a safety, he played special teams last year and they like his athleticism enough to have him as the KR this year.
they have liked this kid from day 1 even though he wasn't as highly recruited as some of the others

where did I say he didn't---- since the kid stepped on campus, they have talked about his athleticism, they RECRUITED him to be a SAFETY. He played WR last year because he wanted a shot on O and the team had a shortage on #s there. He was good enough as a FR to avoid a redshirt. He's been at safety since the spring and has been spelling Robert the whole season.

Green is a good tackler, that's probably why...***
