What happens to ashley with the new regime? Does he stay and continue to make badass corners or do we kill a good thing?
Yep Brown coached Ambrose with the Saints and brought him on as an intern.I would think that if Greg Brown is on the new staff they would probably retain Ambrose. Wasn't it Brown who helped bring Ambrose to Boulder ?
granted, he has not been around here for a very long time, but out of curiosity, from everyone's perspective, what has he done thus far to be a such a good coach? It seemed to me, even with two shut down corners, teams threw ALL over us this year.
How many people played safety for us this year? How many of those were playing for their first time when they were suddenly the starter?
jalil got burned a few times, but usually against top notch competition (nebraska game excluding, but then, everybody **** the bed in the fusker game). Jimmy was more or less a shutdown corner. our 4th string nickle and 3d string safety got torn up pretty good tho. and putting our 4th string CB on ryan broyles didn't work well either. Not Ambrose's fault tho.
Someone is going to have to define "shutdown corner" for me. Many said we needed more D-Line pressure but when QB's are dumping the ball in 2.4 seconds even unblocked D-Line won’t stop that pass. Opponents and receivers were open all year long and it was a serious problem.
One very noticeable play at Nebraska showed Nebraska double teaming perfectly each of our four DL pass rushers. That left us with seven pass defenders "defending" against just two receivers and they completed the freaking pass! Define shutdown corner for me.
Terrel smith was a tackling machine against nebraska
For one thing, players and recruits really like him.
As much as we need to clean house with the Boise staff, there needs to be SOME continuity. These guys have been through a lot.
