[QUOTE="danny daniel, post: 93204, member: 1376"] Both safeties have played hard in every game. I applaud them for giving their best effort. Both have helped us win games and have made some good plays and have gotten key turnovers. Fact is they also often miss tackles and get caught up out of position or lost in the traffic. Some of this is no doubt scheme where both are heavy in run support. Neither can catch anyone with speed. Bad angles and tight coverage are problems. I have witnessed 6 long runs (2 in Spring game, Wofford , Ga So, Pitt, Fall Scrimmage) where there was no safety in a deep position to make a tackle or even to miss a tackle. Roof wants to stop the big play but often has the safeties up close and spread wide so they are not in position to help on a long run or pass in the deep middle. If you want to stop the big play I would think you need a safety in the deep middle (and one in run support). Apparently only White is fast enough to give meaningful chase (Wofford and Pitt). Its like playing baseball with an extra infielder and no centerfielder. Our DL problems may be forcing Roof to use both safeties in run support and by necessity actually asking them to do more than is practical . My criticism may be unfair to the safeties in particular and maybe should be directed to the D in general including the coaching scheme? [/QUOTE]
