Bud Foster proved again last night that he is the best defensive coordinator in the game. Whatever he decides to do I'll agree with 100 percent on principle alone.
One thing to keep in mind though, Bonner is asked to do a lot in Foster's scheme. He gets moved around a ton, he's responsible for making the calls in the secondary, he's responsible for providing great run support, playing man coverage, and playing zone coverage. It is not an easy position. Foster and Gray ask a lot of their free safety, and play so aggressively against the short routes and in run support that the free safety is put in unfavorable positions quite often.
Could Bonner have made more plays then he did? Of course. Is there anyone on the roster who could improve on Bonner's play? I doubt it.

It is for this year, but next year we get Malleck back and I think Loeffler is drooling at the thought of a 2 TE set with Malleck and Cline. I think we will be ok. Worst case #SamRogersToTE
Good points- the floater in the EZ and the underthrown bowl deep ball seem to ruined his timing. Just wish he'd locate the ball. WHen he did on the one breakup, he made a great play
He was great last night. He hasn't been great this year.
I have no interest in reading what they have to say, but in general using 3rd down numbers to argue about the strength of a defense isn't all that accurate.
I agree with both these comments. I just wanted to point out that it wasn't like Bonner was playing 12-15 yards deep...he was close to the line almost the entire game and in single coverage. There are very few safeties who do well in those situations
They won't update until after this weekend.
Looking at the first PI call, it was very much a ref's call kind of PI. His left hand hit the shoulder of the WR first, but he didn't grab him, turn him, or push him in any way. If the Kyle Fuller leaping over the WR to knock down a pass in the EZ isn't a PI, that shouldn't have been one either. But, again, it was enough for the ref to throw the flag.
The second PI, Bonner could have made that a complete no call by turning his head to look for the ball. The WR slowed down and he didn't...but, like others have said...I'd prefer the 15 yards to a catch if that ball had been placed in a better spot.
Bonner had some rough match-ups last night, but he was also able make some key swats. I didn't hate the PI call late in the game. It looked like he was trying to limit the possible play. Unfortunately, the ball was severely underthrown and he probably should've gone for the pick. He'll shape up...I love our secondary.
Hey look everyone Mama Giraffe was right (GT got upset). And wrong (GT lost). Perfect journalism as always!
Rumor is they cancelled because the SEC is going to 9 conference games soon.
#ALLMAROONEVERYTHING can't lose!
Move Kyle to safety and Exum to corner.
It did? I've only ever seen it here but I don't use the twitters and the snapchats like the kids do these days.
UVA's defense will be a nice complement to their wine next weekend. BECAUSE THEY'LL BE SLICED AND DICED LIKE CHEESE CUBES AMIRITE?
If anyone can find an updated standing on national defensive categories please post it...my search came up dry. I think its possible we could become #1 in rushing and possibly total defense very soon.
Whatever works. When we unleash Logan, this is what happens. He's our best weapon and it's not even close.
I enjoyed the game last night. Defense was phenomenal, offense played pretty well. Kudos to the entire team and coaches.
It's not hating, it's calling it how we see it. There's a big difference. He played extremely well last night. One of his best and most complete games since maybe 2011. Hopefully he keeps it up. I don't know what to expect next week but I know I feel a lot better about him after last night. Yall can say whatever yall want but it's been clear that he hasn't played well this season and him playing well last night for the first time this season just proved the criticism he got over the first four games was valid.
I don't think any so called "Logan hater" wants him to do bad. Personally, I'd much rather give him compliments than criticize him but my reaction is based on his play. He played great last night and I really hope it keeps up.
Stat of the game!
I agree. He was really the only weak link last night, but to be fair to him both PI calls were on horribly thrown balls by Lee. The first one (like all of his long completions) was a back-footed underthrown prayer; yes, Bonner should have turned to find the ball, but good lord did Lee miss the mark. The Endzone PI was a floater that I think Bonner assumed was going to get to the receiver quicker than it did...when he arrived to break-up the pass, he almost had to catch himself by draping over the receiver's back.
Let's pump the breaks on benching Bonner right now. I sympathize with everyone wanting to find a home in the secondary for X, but let's let the coaches do what they do best.
I think I just shat myself laughing! Didn't think today could get any better! Happy Happy Friday!
Can't wait to see Pittsburg drop 50 on the french and their 4th in the nation d-
Let's analyze this.
BYU has offense similar to that of ours last year. A dumpster fire. No identity.
Against Oregon, they actually did do pretty good on 3rd down, 3-10. It doesn't mean anything if you give up 59 points and 557 yards.
VMI is TERRIBLE, worse than WCU. They got shutout against Richmond, beat Glenville St. by a TD (and almost lost) and lost to North Greenville by 13.
Outside of Oregon, UVA hasn't exactly been tested. Enter Pitt.
