re: State of the Tigers address....the rational version

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.
