PoVey never passed the "eye test," but he sure is showing up today.

He ran a faster 40 than Jackson, and CB thought Jackson was an athletic specimen

Jackson's time and other measurables are closer to Johnson's than that of DBs.

CB thinks all white guys are somehow by rule, inferior.

Povey was very solid. The Povey haters were ridiculous.

This he was probably our most consistent defensive player last year.

BarraCouga

He was solid last year. He didn't do nearly as well at CB earlier in his career.

It's not like he begged or was even trying out at corner for us

Still doesn't make sense to vent your frustrations on a kid that stepped up

I pretty much ignore (figuratively) anyone who thinks they know better than

Yes, everyone should shut it about Kaufusi at OLB

On defense, In Bronco I trust

he was mis-placed at corner but did ok at safety. i'm surprised his raw #'s are

Not really misplaced. Played there out of necessity.

Ebolarama

↑ This. He took one for the team by playing out of position.

Very serviceable Free Safety

It's a shame he got ridiculed for it rather than praised for doing the best he

A very solid free safety...who sacrificed by playing out of position in 2013.

BarraCouga

3/27/15 11:50am

He was our best, most consistent safety last year. Anyone who disagrees is

What an indictment against the other safeties

Deadpool

3/27/15 11:53am

What an indictment of CB's (in)ability to identify talent at safety

FiveTen-BuckEighty

3/27/15 12:00pm

He was, as you put it, serviceable and solid

PoVey was not our weakest link on D either of the past 2 seasons.

Left Shark Coug

3/27/15 12:10pm

Our best, most consistent DB.

In my opinion, Povey is a case similar to Halford

CaughtForaTouchdown

3/27/15 1:17pm

This is not true...he is slower than the LBs (see here)

Thrill

3/27/15 11:33am

I wish he could have just knocked down one 4th down pass in the bowl game.

Six Foot Seven

3/27/15 11:34am

I wish any player could have gotten a 4th down stop in that game. Ugh!

Results like these don't directly measure performance

He wasn't a good cornerback, but not like we had many options last year. He was

You do know one can "train" for these drills don;t you?

CarolinaCoug

3/27/15 11:40am

The "He took one for the team" is a bunch of BS. There are plenty of players

MHOP

3/27/15 12:21pm

Actually, the charges of nepotism are what's BS

FiveTen-BuckEighty

3/27/15 12:26pm

He was hurt and gave up football. His BIL talked him into trying out again

MHOP

3/27/15 12:34pm

Innocent until proven guilty. And you just executed a man based on opinion.

BarraCouga

3/27/15 12:40pm

Nice flip - I'm not making any statement about nepotism

FiveTen-BuckEighty

3/27/15 12:42pm

Had no problem with his play as a Senior. Just stating my opinion.

MHOP

3/27/15 1:01pm

uggh - his stats, performance on the field and pro day stats

FiveTen-BuckEighty

3/27/15 1:26pm

I think he got less playing time than he should have.

Thrill

3/27/15 3:00pm

I wish I could thumb's down this more than once. What a crock.

BarraCouga

3/27/15 12:38pm

What is incorrect? BIL...check. more reps in practice...check

Could someone else have played better? Possibly. Was it reasonable for him to

MHOP

You just accurately described Christian Stewart.

Lance71

3/27/15 4:13pm

I don't mean to offend you, and I'm sorry if I did.

MHOP

3/27/15 4:24pm

Maybe you should file a defamation law suit on Coach Howell's behalf against CB

Got burned a lot at corner, but solid at safety.

what exactly makes him not pass the eye test?

I agree, that would be my guess too.

VAcougar24

3/27/15 2:16pm

He was white, a walk on, and posting corner. That's all this board needs to know

BarraCouga

3/27/15 4:25pm

he also posts cool photos of fly fishing on Twitter, so I like him

DogBoy

3/27/15 2:24pm

He has to fly fish to get away from a lot of you guys.
