He's hurt. This increases our chances of making plays on the backend
In his defense, all of the safeties have looked prettt horrible.
I didn't know he was hurt. What is his injury?
I hope he is ok right after the season is over. Every one of our seniors needs to catch the Moultrie knee until right after thanksgiving. It's time to start building for the future, and since Dan Mullen is too hard headed to realize that God will have to intervene for our youth movement to begin.
Guess that means B. Bryant will have to start. I was ready to bench him after he mailed it on the goal line last week. Probably have Bryant and McLaurin at Safeties. I'm ready to stick Peters out there at corner and let him sink or swim.
At this point, what difference does it make?

What are the defensive responsibilities of our safeties? If it is to be 7-10 yards behind receivers as they settle and make catches in the middle of the field then our safeties are doing a hell of a job.
In most positions, I would agree with you, as we typically have low upperclassman talent backed up by even worse underclassman talent. But at safety, I think McLaurin and Bryant have the athleticism to be good, so that is one position where it might actually help for the future.
But I'm not to the point where I think wins are meaningless this season. Our next three games (and probably only our next three games) are still winnable and 5 wins still a very different feeling from 3 wins, and I don't want to enter into next season having lost seven of our last eight games.
But if we lose Friday, then we're probably going 3-9 regardless, and I'd much rather get young guys as much experience as possible, even if it ensures we go 3-9 instead of 4-8.
Two of his interceptions are results of him not being where he actually should have been on the play and getting very fortunate that a receiver dropped a ball that hit him right in the hands (Auburn) and our dline getting pressure and forcing a terrible throw (UMASS). He may be the best we have, but the season is toast and losing him won't be that big of a drop off from our younger players who need reps (and if it is a big dropoff then whooptydoo)
Amd we need 2 for next year. Bryant and McLaurin haven't been good, so our expectations were clearly wrong, but that doesnt mean that they won't improve, maybw tremendoisly improve, with reps. Maybe they only become league average by their senior seasons. At this point, I'll take it.
Why are we saying McLaurin & Bryant need reps like those 3 don't rotate pretty much every series.
