New Story: Venables on his cornerbacks: "We're not very good right now"


Aug 13, 2016, 5:48 PM

 
Venables on his cornerbacks: "We're not very good right now"

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney told the media following Saturday’s scrimmage in Death Valley that this offense was about game-ready. The defense, not so much.

Venables seems to be satisfied with the DL and LB, which is


Aug 13, 2016, 5:56 PM

nice to hear. Just need Mullen or Fields or Carter to step up and we should be okay.

Dont know for sure but in reading this and BV continually saying young CB struggled, 10 played well and need to find another option at CB... I think Fields is out and may struggle to be in 2 deep by the end of the fall once Edmond and Baker are back along with Mullen. Sucks but thats football.

I want Fields to suceed


Aug 13, 2016, 6:25 PM

His dad was one of my favorite Panthers to watch, very viscous with every hit. He was the fastest recruit at the opening as a recruit so we know he has the speed. However, he hasn't put it together yet and has not developed like the coaches had wanted to this point. We have had a lot of questions answered in the Fall it seems like with key players developed and looking like top contributors but Fields is probably the biggest disappointment on the team in a needed position. Hopefully the light bulb goes on.

I love how BV can, in one sentence, say he's been pleased with so & so and then without missing a beat, end the thought with, "they're not great, but they're okay."

He's great.

that was blunt.

Keep working hard tigers. Plenty of time to step up.

Go tigers.

I'm hopeful the can wreck havoc in the backfield causing rushed throws that are early and off target.

If the Secondary can hold on just a bit, early, they'll get better as the year progresses.

If you actually watch the interview with Venables he says several times they'll be fine at the second corner position. Listen, it's not easy for any corner to matchup with Mike Williams and the rest of those receivers with DW4 throwing it to them. My guess is that they were put on an island with no help too just to test them. Good practice because Auburns QBs can't hold DWs jock strap.

I was thinking the same thing. You can't get any better experience than going against the best receivers and QB in the nation. Go Tigers!

Not true

the Auburn QB is very capable of holding a jock strap

This time last year Dabo kept telling everyone there wouldnt


Aug 13, 2016, 8:15 PM

be much drop off from 2014 with the starting 11 in 2015, it was just a matter of finding depth. Very few people actually believed him, but he ended up being right on both counts.

The message is definitely different this year. I don't see the same optimism out of Dabo in regards to the defense this year. I'm not saying we won't get there, but the message coming from the coaches right now is clearly that this defense isn't ready yet.

Aug 13, 2016, 8:44 PM

I'm gonna go with " our offensive onslaught will saw defenses in half , and our defense is tired from all the sawing ..." .

Re: This time last year Dabo kept telling everyone there wouldnt


Aug 13, 2016, 8:45 PM [ in reply to This time last year Dabo kept telling everyone there wouldnt ]

I agree with you on this statement on how Dabo kept saying that last year. Only thing I guess I am hoping is that every other season Clemson was trying to prove we were an elite team. This year everyone is already picking us as a Top 2 team. So I am hoping maybe our coaches are trying to down play a little. At least I am hoping.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yep, I've learned over the seasons that Dabo tells the truth


Aug 14, 2016, 12:31 AM [ in reply to This time last year Dabo kept telling everyone there wouldnt ]

, not quite as harshly as BV, but he is giving an honest evaluation nonetheless. One thing I like about him.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

it may be the offense is that good


Aug 13, 2016, 9:36 PM

That it makes an excellent defense look slack

Re: it may be the offense is that good


Aug 13, 2016, 11:32 PM

Let's be honest. ..this offense without Mike Williams, Deon Cain, and Adam Choice made Alabama's best D in a long time look slack, so people need to realize this very well could be partially the case. I do think there are likely mistake being made that coaches aren't happy about, but I think they are looking for our D to be able to stop our O when they ate on point.

Is he ever. The way they talk about him and Shaq Smith, there's clearly been a separation between the two since the start of summer as far as grasping the game at Clemson's level.
