DTN's Community Projections // Jamar Wall

DTN's Community Projections:


Jamar Wall

#3 / Defensive Back / Texas Tech Red Raiders

5-10

195

junior



The Facts:

Jamar Wall is a two-year starter for Texas Tech, and is expected to start his third and final year for the Red Raiders.  Wall was 5th on the team in tackles with 61, 2 interceptions, and led the team with 11 pass break-ups.

What I Think:

If Texas Tech is going to have a solid secondary, I think it has to start with Wall, who may need to completely shut down his assigned receiver.  With essentially two brand new safeties and quite possibly a new cornerback opposite Wall (it could be LaRon Moore, Taylor Charbonnet or Brent Nickerson), Wall has to be one of the guys that leads this defense.

Jamar

Is undoubtedly the key for a successful secondary this year. If he can up his play just a little, it will take a little pressure off the other DB’s. He has been really good so far for Tech. Let’s hope he is GREAT this year.

If he is your best DB

it would be a safe assumption he will be assigned to the opposition’s best receiver, which means he will be challenged a lot, which could lead to some gaudy stats.

If he is up to the challenge, however, opposing teams will avoid him, and his stats will therefore take a hit.

Our defensive backs play a side. He won’t move to cover the best receiver.

which means the bad guys line up their best receiver opposite Wall and avoid him, so his stats take a double hit. Even though they will be throwing into the double team/cover 2 on the other side, with the inexperience both at safety and at the other corner, there will be more than enough opportunities to be able to avoid Wall.
