1. Your best defense is your offense. We have a vanilla offense. I understand Lee is young, but he has had two years to learn. How to play LSU???? I would put eight in the box and you would have to beat me with the pass.
2. Defense is weak weak weak. The biggest difference is the play of our corners and safeties. The co-coordinators have chosen to play soft on the corners. We always spot about a 5 yard cushion. Good teams will pick you apart with the quick pass. Your defensive line is now non-existent. What happened to tight coverage and the bump and run? Now about the blitz. We have the same blitz package just about every time. We use to blitz any single one at anytime. Safety blitz? Corner blitz? Left outside linebacker, etc. We send our linebackers most of the time if we do decide to blitz. The center of our field is open most of the time. We look confused on defense. We are always looking at our arms. Our corners are not that bad. It coaching that has them confused. Remember a lot of these guys made big plays in the national championship game.
3. We should beat all average teams. We will lose to the good ones because of the defensive schemes we run with our corners and lack of pressure from all over the field. Offensively, we should be better. Last game interceptions were the fault of the quarterback and no one else. He threw into double and triple coverage. We will win most remaining games, but lose to Bama and Ole Miss. Nutt and Saban are good coaches that will pick our corners apart with the soft coverage and throw over the middle which is always open.

I basically agree with your statement. I realize on offense we have little choice but to hunker down and take it for now until Lee gets better. The defense is what really bothers me. I find it frustrating that there appears to be no fix for the problems we continue to see week after week.
Les is accountable for these deficiencies, and needs to try to fix it, and not just write off the defense as a bad year. Clearly, the CDC's are not getting it done with some pretty darn good players. KC.

georgia must be in melt down. i mean their defense gave up 497 yards to a vanilla offense.

I disagree with alot of your post.
I found that LSU did blitz against UGA. Stafford hit his hot guy often and easily.
I did agree that LSU needed to put some pressure more, but I am not so sure anymore. Some more thoughtful blitz packages may be in order. Personally, I am starting to believe that making a team "pick us apart" is better than having them make 5-6 plays over 20 yards in each game we play.
#4 was on tight, bump and run coverage when Green burned him. Perhaps we cant play that type of coverage because our Dbs are not as good as advertised? I dunno the answer to that.
We also didnt only blitz linebackers. #7 was coming on a blitz a couple times when we got burnt. I think I would never blitz him as I think is may be the best coverguy LSU has.
Anyhow. alot is wrong. Im sad.

You don't learn to read defenses until you actually get some playing time. For all the talk of Flynn being a 5th year senior last year, he struggled reading defenses. Stafford royally sucked his first two years. McCoy struggled last year. We all know how much JR struggled reading defenses in his early years.
There is no substitute for experience. There are very few young college QBs who walk in and light it up. Bradford comes to mind last year. But for most, it takes playing time before the light bulb comes on.
I'm not saying the light bulb will ever come on for Lee, but it is too early to pass judgment on him.
