Let me preface this with I loathe talking negatively about any Wake players, but I did not see any progress in Ja’Sir’s coverage game yesterday. The 3rd play of the scrimmage he was beat on a simple route down the sideline for 40 yards. Later was the Surratt play. If Newman/Hartman face that kind of CB play in the ACC, Les is going to be flying to New York to cover Heisman festivities. Was Newman’s easiest throw of the day.
In pass coverage he is still out of position more times than not in zone. Also got beat 1-1 at least twice. Killed us last year and I did not see anything in coverage that seemed to improve yesterday. Now, he did look great in run help and by Clawson, Les, Connor’s reports, he might be one of our best humans we have and he dominates at practice. I would like to know what the breakdown is on Saturday because from the stands it is a huge drop off from what is said about him after practices. Frankly, was hoping he would be much improved this year but after yesterday, I hope Alston/Dicks/? beats him out this year for that 3rd CB spot.
