HappyToBeADuck No. 3 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Shawn's, he is a surprise. We hear coaches speak of the next man up mentality. This young man is working on next star up. He has the quickness to get after the Cougars running backs sneaking out of the backfield. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Duck No. 5 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Where does Bassa play next year, with Flowe back? The coaches say he is going back to safety, what physicality he will bring to that spot! Will he fit best at the Nickel or the Boundary safety? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And THAT is a big problem right now, of the pass coverage of the LBs. Not only can he help there, but he is an ideal "Spy" to reign-in the mobile QBs.

The guy is a gamer, who knows the game of football, love the guy! Heyward picked up a gem for us with this guy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
