Did Chavis begin to trust his CBs in the 2nd half?

I may be wrong here. or didn't notice any blitzing in the 1st half. So again, correct me if I'm wrong. I was unable to watch the 1st half because of terrible Houston traffic. I was able to listen to the Miss. St. radio call.

But White and Robinson played major roles in the 2nd half, no? In the UGA game, what did LSU blitz? Once? Twice? Playing a with absolute zero pressure?

There were a few more blitzes in the Miss St. game but was that while these 2 freshmen were in the game? Has the lack of blitzing been more about not trusting the secondary? If he can leave those 2 on islands with DBs, the middle can blitz a tad bit more. Something that seems to be missing from Chavis' playcalling from a regular Joe Fan's point of view.


Also, has Moustache been banned since for his 2 week, Hitler-style tirades trying to convince everyone that LSU is in for 6 straight losing seasons from here on out?


Again, pick this part as you will. I am just curious and am 100% positive that I am not 100% correct with the patterns in the defense we saw in the 2nd half.

I believe so. I saw a few more blitzes get dialed up in the second half. It may have been a collection of White and Robinson along with Martin looking better and Thompson not being awful.

I dont know about trust, but we did blitz more in 2nd half. It also helped that their QB was not very accurate (if we're giving an honest assessment of the game).

Cant argue with facts though, 3 points only given up in 2nd half. Thats awesome.

When we begin games on defense I'm totally comfortable with Rashard Robinson and Tre'Davious White manning up on our opponents best WRs. IMO these two guys have the talent to win more one on one battles than they lose. Will they get beat from time to time? Yes. However they will force the QB to make very good to perfect throws and will also force the opposing WRs to run very good to perfect routes.

Now if there is a trend that begins to develop in the 1st and 2nd quarters when facing a very talented receiver (a la Amari Cooper)the Chief will have to make game time adjustments and get these guys some help especially in particular down and distance situations. But again, I'm totally comfortable with these guys working on the outside on "an island" mono a mono.

I thought my nuts felt a bit heavy today. I'd appreciate it if you stop the stalking.

Also, link to where I said we'd have 6 straight losing seasons.

All I've said was that we have a little talent problem on D. Last year's recruiting class was seemingly good, but it's hard to expect sophomores to anchor the team next year, so I think 2014 is a rebuilding year for us with a new QB.

Here is the problem that I have with all the fans complaining about needing to blitz more:

Who has proven to have the ability to consistently get to the QB if he does call it? Answer: nobody

Statistically, the defense performed better in the second half. They obviously allowed far fewer points. However, a closer examination reveals that the defense may not have actually performed demonstrably better after half time. The "stops" that I can recall offhand included:

(1) A missed FG;

(2) An INT resulting from a grotesque overthrow to a wide open receiver along the sidelines on 3rd and long. I suppose you can give some scintilla of credit to the pass rush, some Tiger may have been in in the general vicinity of the QB, but it was primarily just a terrible throw;

(3) A deflected pass by Martin to an open receiver in the sideline gap of the cover two scheme. I give Martin credit for recovering, but a timely pass on the right trajectory would have resulted in a huge gain.

(4) A fumble in desperation time.

I'm grateful all of these plays occurred, but I don't really know if they signaled a true improvement in the defensive execution, or if they were merely a product of MSU blunders.

rasco and allen have been a big fail uptil now

wished rasco would have produced half of drama he created in recruiting

this defense is not producing like the past..its not happening. you cant just fix things like that

and miles praised chavis in todays presser. i mean common...are you kidding me. what has chavis done to be praise

look at ellis johnson at auburn. what he is doing with mediocore talent is so awesome.
