What stuck out to me was his straight line speed and his ability to run through his pads. His hits are absolutely violent despite his shorter frame *like a Worm on the defensive side*. He looks like he's trying to murder someone. He finds holes in the OL really well when he's running the ball and when he's blitzing. Solid punt returner as well. Good hands make him an interception magnet and he reminds me of a Honey Badger type. Have him roam the field in various spots. If used correctly he could be a terror that has to always be accounted for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the potential to be like one of LSU's usually dominant safeties IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a fine line. you want a safety to be physical but a safety has to be a sure tackler as they are the last line of defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbird 60,529 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I just wish we could have another all-american safety sometime. It's been 25 years since Brian Robinson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought Smoke was going to be that guy who could be an All-American. So far he has shown potential but that's about it. How do you see his career going forward?

He and Sherwood both have the tools but just need the opportunity/reps to shine. It's hard to get In a rhythm at safety when you're in and out of games so much. I think next year we will see an overall upgrade at safety when Smoke and Sherwood take over. That said, don't sleep on Zion either. He will be a good one. The scheme Steele uses doesn't lend itself to anyone in the secondary to really have stand out, gaudy stats. They may be great, but won't get the awards. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been surprised with D.T. #24 play this season. He just seems to have taken a step back to me. I had high hopes but I am ready to see more of Smoke and Sherwood. I think next year our secondary as a whole takes a step. Kind of like the LB group this year, less experience, but better athletes. It will hurt losing Dinson, but he isn't irreplaceable. J. Davis will be gone and possibly Iggy. If Iggy comes back we would have Iggy and McCreary at CB at I am guessing, Tutt at NB, and Monday and Sherwood at Safety..? I like the sound of that. Same LB corp and a solid D line that will obviously take a step back but should still be solid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many coaches think George is especially special. Both will come in expecting to win a starting CB job & no worse than the top slot CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been impressed with McCreary this season and I know JMR wrote about him in most of his "Things I thought I saw"; Tutt on the other hand is a great open field tackler, don't know if I've seen him miss one yet.

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Sherwood looks like the better player between he and Smoke, at the moment. Both have a load of talent. I’m hoping Askew continues to improve to give us a third safety we’re comfortable with. If Domio is what you hope for in a JUCO corner (or George or Appiah), the starting secondary is going to look fine even without Iggy. Domio/McCreary/Tutt/Sherwood/Monday is a secondary with length and speed. That’s a group of movie monsters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
