re: Why our D isn't like those of the past

quote:

---

1. Too much reading and reacting

2. We're not dictating down and distance anymore

3. Remember after the '03 UGA game, and how we had blitzes for every state? I think we've only gotten to Colorado for the season.

4. Pre-snap confusion has shifted from opposing offenses to LSU's defense. Back in the day, I loved seeing our LB's and DB's showing blitz....trying to create confusion for the offensive line. Now I see our players shrugging our shoulders not knowing where they're supposed to be. There was a certain swagger/gangbuster mentality in our defense that I don't see now. (a good example of our swagger pre-snap on defense would be all the Safety blitzes against Alabama the last 3-4 years).

5. No identity for this defense.

6. Opposing QB's aren't afraid of getting hit by our defense. David Greene in '03. the QB's we knocked out last year.

Excellent Post. Sums it all up right there. It's almost like we got non agressive overnight. We were aggressive against Bama, but not against Ark. Aggressive against Oh St, but not against Kentucky. Seeing a trend here?

All the games where we sit back in zone and react to the play we get beat.

And so help me God- if we do that this week, I am going to going crazy, and this website might burn down the internet with all the riots going on here.
