Acho on espn called out Muse the other night

Since when do analysts feel free to call out college players on national tv. Muse is smart and does his job. He’s been a great player for Clemson football and an awesome leader. He deserves more respect than being called a weak link.

Why does everyone get all up in their feels with someone calls out Muse?? I don’t get it.
Muse is a good football player and his commitment and passion can’t be compared....but he can’t cover...He struggles in coverage. Why get mad when people point that out? Tanner isn’t beyond reproach...

Muse has been fine this year. Coach V was in some bad calls early in the Virginia game that left him out to dry but ppl just want to blame muse

Same people got mad when people told the truth about Boulware. Guy was a great player, and was absolutely a massive contributor to the championship team in '16 as a player and a leader. But if you wanted to beat Clemson's defense, you targeted him in the passing game. Venables did a great job of covering it up as well as he did.

He can’t cover anyone in man coverage, but has the wheels to make open field tackles. Really wish the coaches would have moved him to LB.

If he gets a chance at the next level, wonder if they'll move him there.

Yes they will. I actually think he’ll have a nice career too. The coaches have their reasons for leaving him at safety

Muse can cover most of the time. He’s not the best man cover guy ever but he’s not a CB he’s a SS that plays in the box a lot.
He’s graded over 90% this year. That means he can cover. He’s also had some good picks this year reading the QBs eyes.

I imagine there's a reason that they didn't - like the defense is better with him at safety.
I don't see how this continual criticizing of Muse here is not either: 1. questioning the quality of our defense altogether (we don't have someone better than Tanner)) or 2. questioning the quality of the decisions being made by our defensive coaches about who should play where.
You are welcomed to questions either, but I think that is a losing proposition - #1 defense #1 DC

I said the same thing when I heard him! It was weird even though he did criticize Trevor most of the year.

Difference when someone calls him out and when they're just talking x and o. Listen to anyone that breaks down game film. Will tell you the same thing. Doesn't mean he's a bad person or player.
I can assure you, it's nothing CBV hasn't said to him or what he hasn't seen on film himself. No one is dumping on him because they don't like him. Same thing w potter and field goals. Great kid and love him as a Tiger but the fella ain't gonna get drafted to kick fgs. Kickoffs yes.
Tanner is excellent in run support.

Acho mentions a lot of players names during his

breakdowns and analysis of teams. It's cool. Any talk that challenges our players is only more fuel for the fire, though.
I suspect Muse will be making a big difference in LSU's backfield in this one. Talking heads have everyone sold on him getting beat deep, and QB's and WR's salivating, but there's as good a chance that Muse will be running it up inside Burrow's grill on many occasions in the great packages that BV throws out there.
This is going to be some kind of game.
Go Tigers.

I imagine OSU heard all od the same stuff about Tanner, but I don't recall him getting burned in their passing game ? I iamgine the same for LSU.

Indeed Tanner is poor in pass coverage, but he's above average in run support.
I think he has a chance in the NFL as a special teams guy and backup LB.

I understand why some people on here bash him but like you said, he's as committed of a player we've had here and doesnt give up on plays and even more so doesnt hang his head when he makes a bad play. That said, i really hope he plays majority of his snaps at LB and only put him at safety if its obvious run downs or he's there to spy Burrow. I think thats what he's projected at in the NFL anyways, LB/special teams player. I said in a previous post i would like to see us run a 3-3-5 with Muse, Skalski and Simmons at LB. Terrell, Kendrick and Goodrich at DB. Denzel/Turner and Wallace at safety. On obvious passing downs go 3-2-6 with maybe a DB+LB blitz. Just my opinion. I will say that how we defended OSU and their passing game was encouraging to see before we play one of the best passing offense's ever in college football. A lot of people were complaining at how their DBs shut down our WRs but the same could be said about our DBs and their WRs.

Maybe a guy as dedicated and commited to Clemson as tanner, shouldn't get bashed here.
Sports commentators are another thing, but here - maybe we should just thank the guy for his many contributions and leave it at that.

We don’t use him on man but very few times; all these people are just cherry picking a few times he was burned to pick on him.
I could go back through almost anyone’s career and find 4 plays to use as bad examples.
Running down dobbins as an example, and his ability to read what happening is why we leave him at safety
