Mathieu, Claiborne, Simon and Reid. I don't think I've ever seen four members of the secondary have such ball catching ability. All of them could be receivers. What a g-damn amazing season and collection of playmakers this has been.
They stick the Badger at WR for a few plays next season ... And he'll walk away with that Heisman Jan 2013 ... Mett and company :crystal:
Outside of that awesome INT against Bama, I don't think Reid has the same pass catching ability. Also, Simon has dropped alot of INTs this year. Ron Brooks belongs up there. Also, add in PP7 last year and it's amazing the amount of pass catching DBs we've had lately!
They all seems to follow the basic principle of catching a football (for WRs or DBs)... Catch the ball away from your body... You see way too many lazy receivers catching a football in close and any contact makes them miss.
Simon's pick vs Georgia was a thing of beauty. He became the receiver on that play and caught it in traffic and got it at it's highest point (same way Claiborne usually does).
Cooper has done well with this crew. If you are a DB coming out of high school and LSU offers, why would you go anywhere else?
And a guy like Craig Loston who everyone thought was gonna be the dookie can't even see the field because everyone in front of him is stellar.
