With a better QB Lazzard would've had 200 yards. It was obvious they were targeting Mabin. This is a real concern, a better team will eat him alive.
Mabin still a liability
- Thread starter Suburbian Hawk
- Start date
Mabin is fine. Get off his nuts.
We have had far worse cb's than Mabin on both sides of the field and still had solid defenses. It's a team defense and not just one guy on an Island all the time. While Mabin will be picked on, He is far from a slug, King being dominant really gives the staff some nice schematic advantages they can use once they get into the meat of the Big schedule
Mabin is fine. He is a well above average corner.
The difference is he gets ALL the shots against him AND the average fan has absolutely zero clue how coverages work and many of the breakdowns in that first game likely weren't even entirely his fault and looked worse than they actually were. Add to that the fact that the back shoulder fade is nearly impossible to defend he's done an admiral job this year and he's going to be just fine

You are delusional. Mabin is not fine, he was exposed last night by a garbage quarterback. A better QB and ISU has 300 yards passing, most against him.
Go back and reread my post. It is specifically for uninformed people like yourself.
Lazard got a majority of his yards once the game was over. I'm assuming Iowa played a little deeper and loose in the their coverage
Mabin needs to get his head turned around. I think he's in position most of the time but he lacks ball awareness. He's good, but could be great.
If Mabin is the weak spot then the D is in good shape
I'm curious. What game were you watching?
Shut up. Iowa gas arguably the best corner tandem in the B1G, one of the best around. They have 50-60 starts b/w these two guys
Mabin is an OK corner, far from great. He is exposed a lot because of teams avoiding King. But, also is not getting great safety support. They miss Lomax. Snyder is not great. Taylor is OK.
So you want to bench him for the freshman, right? Ah, then they'll start throwing at King all the time! Smart thinking coach.
The one where Lazzard constantly abused him for over 100 yards. Plus last weeks pitch and catch fest that Mabin was involved in. As well as most of last year.
Mabin is an average corner for a power 5 school imo, but i thought King was supposed to match up with "Lazard" the whole game not mabin is what I heard all week.
He's been starting for 3 years don't know why nobody can spell his name just like everyone spelled "Gesell" wrong for four years.

We spell Lizard's name wrong on purpose as an insult. He deserves no less.
Totally disagree. Mabin played well yesterday, you are not going to stop a talented receiver like Lazard all the time. We also need to improve our pass rush, which is a big part of a good pass defense. I think we will. Go Hawks!
You have a very poor understanding of defensive back play. Delete your account
Their starting QB had 86 passing yards and came out late 3rd quarter. Their backup had 79 passing yards in total garbage time. Half of Lazard's yards came in garbage time.
He had a rough game vs. Miami and that worried me. He played well last night. True that with a better QB, Lazard would have had a bigger night but he (Lazard) is the best player on the team and will play on Sundays.

OP has quickly become the dumbest poster.
And the 'bum' has been a starter for the past 15 regular season games. Over that time the record is 15-0.
This thread and some of 'our ' posters are unbelievable

I have seen a few hint around this and someone who knows more about defensive back play can help me.
How much are the safeties the problem? I haven't been thrilled with Mabin at times but I feel like he's not getting a lot of help.

Mabin IS fine and your lack of football knowledge is showing.
Greg Mabin will get a shot in the NFL. He is far better than you think.
