Dabo Swinney on LB Tony Steward

Read Update »

6 tackles in 24 plays, right. Oh, and his tackles are at


Sep 18, 2012, 11:26 AM

the line of scrimmage, or pretty dang close to it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He looks more comfortable at MLB then WILL


Sep 18, 2012, 11:29 AM

I'd move Steward to MIKE and Anthony to WIll. I believe those are their natural positions.

Sep 18, 2012, 11:49 AM

Oh reary? What's his ERA then, or slugging %?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Anthony - Sam Tony-Mike Tig - Will


Sep 18, 2012, 1:13 PM [ in reply to He looks more comfortable at MLB then WILL ]

That is the secret sauce.

Should I fedex that lineup to Venebles?

Hes not quite there (Steward), but neither is any
of the other LBs, sooo....

When Dabo says "he's still not quite there" I wonder if he


Sep 18, 2012, 11:32 AM [ in reply to 6 tackles in 24 plays, right. Oh, and his tackles are at ]

means physically (knee) or mentally, as far as picking up the defense. I know coaches see a lot that I don't, but to my eye, he sure looked like he had a great grasp of the defense, as he was making plays and always around the ball. Maybe his knee (or confidence in his knee) isn't there yet, at least enough to let him take a lot of snaps.

translation. we are going to play Wright b/c he is a senior, and we like him.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think his mind is almost convinced that his knees work.


Sep 18, 2012, 12:06 PM [ in reply to When Dabo says "he's still not quite there" I wonder if he ]

We'll see him early and often and EJ will too.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpgringofhonor-clemsontiger1988-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He looked way better than any LB I have seen out there


Sep 18, 2012, 1:15 PM [ in reply to When Dabo says "he's still not quite there" I wonder if he ]

Outside of Tig & Stephone...

Corico looks lost and Quandon gets into perfect position and then wiffs.

Steward would be a great MLB for the FSU game.

2024 orange level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Still not sure if he is confident in his knee


Sep 18, 2012, 3:04 PM [ in reply to When Dabo says "he's still not quite there" I wonder if he ]

Didn't want to cut with the RB on the swing pass against Furman...he kept running straight and tried to slow down with both legs instead of cutting with the R.B....it's something I still do (not that I'm cutting with a RB, just cutting in general) after blowing out my left knee.

DB doesn't tend to throw his players under the bus***


Sep 18, 2012, 11:50 AM [ in reply to 6 tackles in 24 plays, right. Oh, and his tackles are at ]



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Dabo needs to play him.


Sep 18, 2012, 11:30 AM

He can't be any WORSE than some of the LB play I've seen so far this year, and he doesn't bump tackle running backs.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Have you let Dabo know? ********


Sep 18, 2012, 11:35 AM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Dabo doesn't care about my opinions.


Sep 18, 2012, 12:02 PM

That's why I express them on a message board.

Saving his coming out party


Sep 18, 2012, 11:41 AM

for fsu?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Saving his coming out party- that would be wonderful


Sep 18, 2012, 11:51 AM

I sure hope so

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-74tiger.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Meeeee toooooo.


Sep 18, 2012, 12:03 PM

I would have used him sparingly until he became comfortable on those knees. I think them having kept him back is to the benefit of everyone except the fans.

GO TIGERS!!

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpgringofhonor-clemsontiger1988-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I hope so, our defense needs some kind of spark


Sep 18, 2012, 12:57 PM [ in reply to Saving his coming out party ]

some kind of energy and excitement to jumpstart them. They've played horrible all year so far.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Anthony had to tell where to line up


Sep 18, 2012, 12:02 PM

Steward will be a beast before the year is over. He's still learning the defense. What I DO like, which is something that you cannot teach, is instinct! Plus, he actually tackles.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Anthony had to tell where to line up


Sep 18, 2012, 1:17 PM

Yeah, like built in automatic LB instinct?

As in, doesn't matter where you line him up he finds the ball and hits somebody on the play?

Looks way better than the alternative at this point.

If we beat FSU it will be 59-56

Sep 18, 2012, 2:51 PM [ in reply to Anthony had to tell where to line up ]

Then tony pointed at the guy that was going to get the ball . and what do you know that guy got the ball .Tony has good instinct

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I don't know


Sep 18, 2012, 12:04 PM

How can the coaches watch the constant underperformance of Quandon and then say Tony is not quite there? If its his knee, then fine. But if he means as a player, I highly disagree. He can't be worse than QC and Corico

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: I suspect it is knowing his assignment and where to be


Sep 18, 2012, 12:24 PM

there are enough experienced guys who screw up the D occasionally. trying to work a learner in is a bit hard to do

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-74tiger.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

QC is a differnet position


Sep 18, 2012, 12:30 PM [ in reply to I don't know ]

and Steward should overtake Corico Wright soon enough. However, Willard is the starter and has improved this year.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: QC is a differnet position


Sep 18, 2012, 3:08 PM

Yes, but Quandon should not be at a position at all and Steward would probably be better if he never played the position in his life.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: I don't know


Sep 18, 2012, 1:18 PM [ in reply to I don't know ]

Maybe he dogs it in practice and is just a gamer?

I don't know.

A blind man could tell you he is one of the best players we have.

sigh... let him play!

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

null


You have to get your best 11 on the field...


Sep 18, 2012, 1:21 PM

That LB rotation should be

Tig
Anthony
Tony

I was so happy to see Quandon playing lights out against Auburn on one of those stretch plays where he beat the block and was in the backfield... Whiff! Another ten yard gain...

Wouldn't you immediately figure something else out if you are Venables? Its time for Plan B already.
