CodyHOST
I, I could see one.
CodyHOST
You're, but you're not gonna tell me Kamari, Ben Hanks, Flowers, Dejon, uh, the kid you brought from Kentucky, the athlete you brought from Kentucky we haven't seen, uh, uh, uh-
Shelton WalkerHOST
Dooley
CodyHOST
... what's his name? Dooley, Kanye Clark.
CodyHOST
And it worked out last year.
Shelton WalkerHOST
And hold on, let me finish.
Shelton WalkerHOST
So Ben Hanks Didn't play much, he was a freshman-
CodyHOST
Yeah
Brandon OlsenHOST
I mean, some people might think it's a scheme, but I feel like it comes from us.
Brandon OlsenHOST
And look, Ben Hanks kind of, Ben Hanks kind of put an answer out there, right? Ben Hanks on Saturday was playing off coverage.
Brandon OlsenHOST
They throw to the flat.
Brandon OlsenHOST
He comes up and lights the dude up and breaks it up.
Zach GoodallHOST
Like specifically against number one outside receivers, Florida's outside corners have really struggled all year, and I won't be able to pronounce his name, but Donovan Olugbode or whatever.
Zach GoodallHOST
I mean, him g- going in and getting that first score, granted I think that was more a mistake on Drake Stubbs than Ben Hanks, although Ben Hanks tried to give him kind of a push off, a jam in cover two, and it, it wasn't very good.
Zach GoodallHOST
But Stubbs bit.
Zach GoodallHOST
He came down and should've been back in deep half coverage to defend that Um, but it was predictable that he was gonna go in and have that game, 'cause Deuce Alexander did the same thing, KeShawn Singleton did the same thing.
David WatersGUEST
They've got four guys who they're, who, who they're kind of rotating at corner right now.
David WatersGUEST
You have Ben Hanks in his second year, Javari Flowers in his second year.
David WatersGUEST
They were two young guys that we were kind of counting on taking that second year jump.
David WatersGUEST
They've regressed since their freshman year last year.
Brandon OlsenHOST
You had...
Brandon OlsenHOST
Ben Hanks redshirted last year.
Brandon OlsenHOST
Cormani McLean showed flashes, but like, again, like we've talked about with Cormani, like it's year four.
Brandon OlsenHOST
There's no more upside conversation at least, right? Like they're still upside, of course, but we're done with the conversation about that, about what you can be tier four, put up or shut up.
Brandon OlsenHOST
Cormani McLean played 63 of the 67 snaps.
Brandon OlsenHOST
Ben Hanks III played 61 of the 67 snaps.
Brandon OlsenHOST
It was those two out there the whole time.
Brandon OlsenHOST
You're just getting carved up.
CodyHOST
They're already getting beat.
CodyHOST
But I can tell you, Cormani McLean, Javari Flowers, and, and, uh, Ben Hanks, the, th- they haven't played 15 yards off and been zone corners their entire life.
CodyHOST
They played bump and run against the best athletes in Florida, and they were fine.
CodyHOST
If they're gonna get beat, at least put them bump and run and send five.
CodyHOST
Let your athletes play.
Shelton WalkerHOST
We were critical, we were critical of the coaching staff last year of having this top talent and it not living up to expectation, right? And, and, and, and it, and it being developed.
Shelton WalkerHOST
Like I've got the same concern now of like Ben Hanks, Paganza Hayward, Javari Flowers.
Shelton WalkerHOST
These are top 150 players that are not looking like-
Edgar ThompsonHOST
Five-star Kamani McLean.
Edgar ThompsonHOST
Ben Hanks was a top 75 guy.
Edgar ThompsonHOST
Dijon Johnson was top 100.
Edgar ThompsonHOST
You flip him from Ohio State.
DanHOST
I don't think the linebacking group was particularly good, and You miss Bryce Thornton in the game.
DanHOST
I don't know how much that makes a difference in how that defense was playing, but I saw that Missouri touchdown, and it was the deep bomb that they had that was, what, 50, 60 yards, where it got snapped to Austin Simmons, and nobody on the entire roster even knew – or the entire field knew that the ball was being snapped on Missouri's offense, and we just get – Ben, not Ben Hanks, drink stubs was put in a blender and then just a deep route.
DanHOST
I mean, you're going to get beat sometimes, but just the awareness sometimes in some of these guys, the defensive backfield has been been odd and then to continuously get beat.
DanHOST
even eight, 10 yards off the line of scrimmage as often as they are.
18 MINS LATER
DanHOST
And then we said defensive back depth was going to be weak this year.
DanHOST
And maybe we just didn't get some of those jumps.
DanHOST
Like Ben Hanks hasn't probably been playing the player that a lot of people thought he would going into this season.
DanHOST
Had a great offseason.
Hunter BedardHOST
Toast all night.
Hunter BedardHOST
I think this is the third week in a row I've had to apologize for my Ben Hanks preseason take, and I don't see that apology stopping.
Hunter BedardHOST
I'll probably do it every week until the end of the year.
Hunter BedardHOST
To answer Graham's question, I like to think I'm level-headed with this stuff and give him time.
