re: nevermind

I think it is a combo of depth and leads. Regardless of what the coaches say, I watch what they actually do and it seems like LSU has 5 DLs, 4 LBs, and 5 DBs that play 85% of the snaps. This tells me there is a significant drop off in the coaches mind on most of the 2nd team D players. I think the offensive coaches have not passed perhaps as much as they would like to rest the defenders.

Mills will help somewhat. Hopefully other defenders will step up and earn more significant snaps.
