'22 AZ CB Benjamin Morrison (Notre Dame Signee)

[T-Boone]

He should come back and be a captain. If he goes this season I think he dops to 2nd round.

 

[rtrn2glory]

He has zero chance of being a first round pick with the injury IMO. It'll come down to if he thinks his stock is as high as it'll get

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Anyway we can get Benmo Moore and Gray all on the field together? Asking for a friend

Yep. 2025.

Did he already have surgery? Supposedly if you don't have surgery you can get relief as it'll partially heal in a matter of weeks, but it won't fully heal without surgery.

 

[Terry Jillery]

Yes, he should come back. But will he? Probably not.

I’m almost certain they said he did within a few days after it was announced he was done.

 

[calvegas04]

Does he even travel or help with the team?

He was on the sidelines.

A few of us have had this surgery. He could have played on the torn labrum (probably did), but it does inhibit agility. Also going to ache like crazy all the time.

He had surgery, though. He should be shooting to be a full go for OTAs. He can end his career if he comes back too fast.

Word. Wasn't sure if he had the surgery or not. If not, I was going to say he might be able to play on it in the playoffs.

 

[jprue24]

Yeah, I get that. I wish the injury wasn't what it was. I think he made the correct decision to have surgery, but I'm not an all-american, 1st rd draft pick on a team with a great chance (at the time) at making the playoff.

Moore might have just be better than an injured BenMo, too. Yes, I'm trying to start that rumor right now.

Moore might be. Not sure Gray is. While he had a timely pick late, USC picked on him an awful lot.

With as much he gets left on an island, Gray is going to lose reps against NFL level WRs. Combine that the fuckin work he puts in against the run. I think, if he gets beat, he gets beat.

Gray is better than a whole lot of DBs that have came before him.

 

[PANDFAN]

Grey has been pretty consistent minus 2 games including this one But he never stopped fighting.... our db's are put on islands a lot , it's going to happen

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Gray is better than what he showed yesterday. It's ok to have a bad game, especially when you make the winning play at the end to make up for it.

What they were asking him to do play after play was downright criminal. Basically running gassers up and down the field with no help. Consistently left on an island with no safety help and Riley would rotate a “fresh” WR to run deep against him. It was especially stupid not to give him any relief after his 100 yard pick 6.

 

[stlnd01]

Gray is good enough in coverage. Not perfect, but good enough. He also tackles like a hellion. I’ll take him.

Great points!

Another cornerback would have helped team immensely yesterday…but you know what happened there!

Good observation.

Are you sure? I don't remember ND ever rotating their starting outside CBs.

Well as @IrishLax said, USC was intentionally running Gray downfield play after play. So yes, I think they probably would have given him a break at some point. Even just a quick reset after a bad drive would have been nice.

Was there something wrong with Hobbs?

This this this

CG had been nails all year. Even Saturday while he was picked on some and had some breakdowns, he made a couple really nice plays outside of the pick 6. For the first time all year against USC it looked like we had some confusion and miscommunication in the secondary too.

clark and watts each appeared at times to be out of position (confusion like you said)on a couple of their deeper passes...there was also some pick plays they were running as well

 

[NDohio]

DB play would have also been better Saturday if there was more pressure put on their QB.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Coming back is about the "us."

He needs to see what is best for "him." The NFL clock starts ticking now and the time goes by fast, if he really wants it.

True but Maiava was getting rid of the ball quick.
