Turner has actually been above average this year. Bucky Irving leads the p5 in yac and missed tackles forced. Good in coverage, solid in run support, etc. Needs to be a more consistent tackler but he saved like 3 touchdownson saturday.
I said it in another thread. Turner and Cook seem to diagnose the plays well. This gives me a little Hope on Morrell as a coach. Cook is a limited athlete and is exposed in space and Turner just needs to meet ball carriers straight up, wrap both his long ass arms around guys and do the BBK gator roll to get guys onto the ground. Those diving shoulder tackles and swiping leg trips need to DIAFF. They don’t work.
UWs secondary is full of pussies that don't like to tackle. They showed it over and over in the preseason games. Guys were literally backing off of tackles and looking at each other like "I thought you had him".
They've tried to toughen up a bit, but guys who don't like to tackle try to do it by grabbing or tripping from the side. A lot of the poor angles and over runs look almost intentional to me. They aren't trying not to tackle, but they're trying ro do it without hard contact.
