Can’t wait to see this guy get better and better

Could be the stud I have been asking for for years.

Wow. It took him a while to recognize the play, but once he figured it out he cleaned it up in a hurry.

Guy needs more reps.

Damn. Freaking missle.

It's his pass defense.

He wasn't very good in coverage on Sunday night. My guess is that's why they're not putting him on the field more.

He’s certainly not ready to make calls.

we've been not mixing in much man coverage lately. Almost exclusively zone it seems to me. Am I mistaken? Anyway, yeah, he seems to struggle a little with zone coverage in space.

I'm thinking that mixing in some man underneath might make coverage easier for a guy like Gay and help get our best athletes on the field more.

I know I said it before, but man underneath and quarters over depending on personnel might be a good thing.

I mean like...if the back's his guy or the TE, hes faster and more physical than Sorensen.

He’s going to be soo good when they get him up to speed, mentally.

His star power is easy to see when he’s out there.

Once the coaches trust him to play 3 downs, he’s going to be a game changer.

He was very good on sunday..made loads of key tackles and his speed is incredible to watch.

But what about ben kneeman?

When I look at this play i see him taking the first step in zone by spying the QB before rocketing to the other side of the formation to make tackle.

So Gay only had 1 snap vs TB. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than myself will explain how that's because we were expecting to face the pass and they don't trust him yet, but it's still a little disappointing that we're roughly 2/3 of the way through the season and we're just not seeing the development we had hoped for from him. Not totally unexpected with the lack of a complete offseason, but disappointing nonetheless.

On a positive note Thornhill had 41 snaps, so usage was back up again for him which is good to see.

Honestly, I'd say there was something else going on maybe.

Because we've faced similar opponents and he's gotten more than 1 snap.

On a completely different note - Armani Watts played 2 snaps and gave up a TD on one of them. :facepalm:
