thanks. given Bonner's flashes at setting the edge, it would be great to see more of him at nickel. he is less limited physically than the normal nickel.

Quote:CELEBRITY CUTOUTS: Even without live fans, Stanford Stadium will not be completely empty in 2020. The Cardinal’s support system on gameday comes in the form of nearly 300 cardboard cutouts. Sections 112-114 are home to family members of Cardinal student-athletes and coaches. Section 123 features gridiron greats such as John Elway, Andrew Luck, Christian McCaffrey, Jim Plunkett, Richard Sherman and Bill Walsh. Coaching legends such as Tara VanDerveer and Mark Marquess and iconic athletes and Olympians such as Katie Ledecky, Mike Mussina, Kelley O’Hara and Tiger Woods can be found in section 124. Notable University alumni such as Sergey Brin, Chelsea Clinton, Herbert Hoover, Sandra Day O’Connor, Larry Page, Reese Witherspoon are cheering on the squad from sections 103, 122 and 124.
Did not know this was how it worked and am surprised they aren't taking donations to put more "fans'" cutouts in seats (I believe some other universities do this).

He was picked on and exposed for his poor pass coverage. I worry when he's on the field if we're playing man.

Any concerns about a true freshman long snapper?

His pass coverage was not poor. In fact I thought it was pretty good. Sometimes the other guy is better and/or luckier.

Coverage ok but ball instincts not so hot.

my take is akin to CI's. also, I am advocating putting Bonner at nickel, not at CB. Bonner is bigger, faster, seemingly a better tackler and better in coverage than our current nickel.

IIRC he was beaten twice for TDs. That's poor pass coverage

As a run nickel, similar to what Hoffpauir (RIP) played

"Beaten" by absolutely insane catches by a future NFL player, on which he was there stride-for-stride the entire time. Dude will be fine. These are his first football games in 3 years. You can think of him as an old freshman.

I agree with this assessment. The thing about playing cornerback, it seems, is that sometimes you can do everything right and still get beat. The opposite side of this coin is when the receiver drops a ball or the quarterback wildly overthrows the target and the cornerback hops up immediately to celebrate as if he'd done something. Sometimes the results lie.
