I feel compelled to bring him up because I have been so critical of him in the past but ...wow does this kid have wheels! I still find him to be a weak link size, cover,etc. wise but that was impressive catching that running back from behind on Sat.
A lot of our back end struggled a bit in terms of tackling Saturday. I love Barron but he was a step slow on a number of their chunk rushing plays.
me thinks with Taj, etc., this team is in the middle of some sort of overhaul of the new replacing the old, mostly because of attitude, culture changes and differing loyalties. An in season Marrone light situation. Just a guess...On the one big running play in the 4th quarter, it looked like Barron charged toward the LOS after the snap, not sure if it was a delayed blitz or what, but he ended up way out of position. Then Simmons overplayed his responsibility. Two safeties gone, just like that.
I think that was the play that Greenwood ended up catching him.
Safety has been depleted. LaBrosse leaving, Carter MIA, Barron leaped Hanna, haven't heard from him since. I guess Greenwood was in for Coley on that play? (and Coley is in for Carter)

Barron was gassed at the tail end of the game... He's playing lots of snaps plus all specials...A lot of our back end struggled a bit in terms of tackling Saturday. I love Barron but he was a step slow on a number of their chunk rushing plays.
Find it hard to believe we can't get someone else in on specials.Barron was gassed at the tail end of the game... He's playing lots of snaps plus all specials...
That's a good right-on feeling...Feels like the safeties are the weak link on this D.
Considering how young he is and how he's already changed positions, yeah, he's doing just fine.I actually think overall that Barron has played very well.
