re: Times Picayune Article: Miles says no QB controversy

Did anyone stop think about maybe the defense would have been better had it not have to be on the field so much after turnovers? People are saying we had to play from behind a lot last year.

INT's had a lot to do with that. Lee put himself in that possition many time, that's why he had to sling it even more and play from behind. i.e. start the game against georgia with a pick-6, pick-6 to Bama, pick-6 his first pass to Auburn.

No one defends our defense in playing from behind eithor. Playing from behind also affects a defense because teams run on you more and wear you down even more once they have the lead and our defense went through that a lot last year.

That being said, the mental lapses by our defense didn't exactly help Lee out eithor, they went hand and hand. No 1 unit(except for the 99 Rams offense) wins championships. It's about the team that is most solid at every unit any given year.

Who knows,if RP hadn't been so stupid and remained on the team, I think we had more of the peices in place than anyone thinks except the co-dc's. I think we had the enough players on defense to maybe hold up just enough in some games for us to play anyone.
