Hyde show cased his man to man cover ability in the red zone a couple of times in this one and really looked his best matched up in press coverage over the slot. He did some good things at his safety spot and also had some rough patches, including blown coverage for a TD. If he can clean up the mis-reads and mental mistakes he could be a very good safety for this unit. Tools are all there.
Castillo had another rough outing getting picked on quite a few times in the red zone. He simply doesn't have the athleticism or size to win in jump ball situations very often. If he misses a jam he's pretty much beat because he doesn't have the make up speed to catch up or the ball skills to make a play in man turn while trailing. Not a guy you can really leave on an island very often.
Prater had a pretty quiet game in terms of balls thrown his way. The one critical one was on the 3rd and 20 and it really hurt. He picked a poor time to get a little lazy and Jantz fired a perfect ball into the hole in the coverage. Other than that ISU really didn't throw at Prater. Did miss a tackle on the big screen to Horne as well.
Sleeper wasn't overly impressive in this one either. He missed some tackles in the run game and had a few break downs in pass coverage. Got beat deep early and is lucky Jantz didn't see it. Did settle in a little bit as the game went on and didn't open the door for any more over the top stuff. Needs to raise his level of play next week.
Prater
+1 Nice job recognizing QB scramble and filling hard quickly as he put a pop on him after only a gain of 5 or so. S6
-1 Had a clean shot at the WR on the screen and fails to wrap up here, hit was too high. This ended up being a huge play that set up a TD for ISU. S9
-1 Doesn't squeeze the vertical very well here in his cover 2 drop after letting the WR get outside of him. It's 3rd and 20 and he gets lazy playing trail on the vertical route and Jantz fires a perfect throw into that natural gap between the CB and S in cover 2. While it took a great throw to complete this, Prater was too far off this route under the circumstances. S10
+1 Great job filling in the option and just whacks pitch man for little to no gain. S12
Overall: Push
Sleeper
-1 Got beat badly deep over the middle. Looked to have been passed the slot WR by the shallow defender. Turned his hips the wrong way and was beat for 6 if Jantz had thrown it. S1
+1 Very nice job in run support here as he reads the sweep and closes to the LOS very quickly and limits the play to a short again. S3
-1 Flew up in run support, but didn’t break down and wrap up and what should have been a 1-2 yard gain ends up a 6 or 7 yard gain. S8
-1 Not a very good job of playing his responsibility here. Chases the TE in the slot inside when he should have released him to the inside help quicker. Was unable to get back to take away slant from Prater’s guy on the outside and it goes for a 1st down. Crucial mistake here. S13
Overall: -2
Hyde
+1 Nice discipline and read the QB’s eyes very well here as he stayed deep on the post while the QB had a lot of time. S8
-1 Blew coverage here as this was a man coverage and he bailed to help on the underneath route. May not have mattered ISU had the perfect call on there, but you got to make them earn it. S9
+1 Great job breaking up the quick arrow route, man coverage behind the blitz and stopped the drive. S10
-1 Horse collared the back S12
+1 Very good job of reading the route and making a play on the ball in the corner of the endzone. Was in man coverage with the slot WR. Excellent job S12
Overall: +1
Castillo
-1 Very poor positioning and technique in the red zone here. Way too much cushion and doesn’t use the side-line to help him here. Looked lost here and it was a free TD on the fade as he was just outclassed here 1 on 1. S5
+1 Very good press technique this time by Castillo. Gets a jam and goes into man turn and gets his head around after disrupting the WR's release and stayed right in his pocket. Excellent job of using the sideline as his friend this time. S10
-1 Didn’t get a jam at the line and was trailing immediately on the fade. The WR tipped his hand by looking back pretty early for the back shoulder throw and Castillo didn’t pick up on it and it’s an easy TD. Got physically overmatched and didn’t use very good technique here. S12
Overall: -1
Miller
-1 Poor job coming up to stop the QB draw, didn’t close the gap quick enough and then got flat footed and just stood there as Jantz breezed by to pick up the first down. S1
+1 Nice job on the blitz here getting in the backfield and making a TFL on the designed QB draw. S12
Overall: Push
