Bulletin Board material for Aranda and his players from critical anonymous assist coaches

The big weakness for LSU is both at linebacker and in the pass rush, as opposing coaches say the key will be for LSU to manage some type of pressure on Tagovailoa from a base defense. If not, they could import clones of Honey Badger and Jamal Adams and still not cover these Alabama receivers for six seconds.
“The issue with LSU is that they cannot create a pass rush on base downs,” said an opposing assistant. “That’s going to be Achilles’ heel defensively.”
The LSU defensive front is massive, and perhaps too big. If Tagovailoa has good mobility coming off his ankle surgery, they aren’t much of a threat to sack him. (They also wear down easily, as the spree of, ahem, cramping at Texas showed.)
“There’s no way that defensive line sacks a healthy Tua,” said the coach. “[LSU DC Dave] Aranda won’t be able to drop eight, because if they do that they won’t get to Tua. He’s going to have to change his identity from this year, which is base defense.”
LSU has a reputed high-end pass rusher in K’Lavon Chaisson, but he’s got just two sacks this season and hasn’t lived up to his first-round hype. The lack of pressure will stress LSU’s corners, a typically elite group.
“The matchup for them is going to be if they can cover them in man,” said an assistant who faced LSU this year. “They don’t play zone well, that’s what happened in the UCF game last year, and they couldn’t cover them. That’s going to be the game, if they can cover the receivers in man. I’d imagine Bama thinks they can get them out of man and soften them up in quarters like UCF did.”
There’s little doubt that LSU safety Grant Delpit will be a first-round pick. He’s a sure tackler and is the type of linebacker-hybrid safety the NFL is looking for. (He has missed practice this week with an injury, although he’s still expected to play.)
The issue for LSU against Alabama is that Delpit is not a capable player in man coverage.
“He’s a terrible man-coverage player and they’re doing whatever they can to keep him out of coverage,” said an opposing assistant. “He was in man very few times last season.”
Added another opposing coach: “He’s a great athlete, he just can’t be left in true one-on-one situations against one of your top three skills guys. That’s not his world. That’s definitely his weakness.”
This factor helps offenses diagnose what LSU is doing pre-snap. If Delpit lines up in the slot, there’s a high-percentage chance that he blitzes. If he attempts to cover, expect Alabama to exploit him like they did with Irv Smith last season.
The other secondary weakness is LSU’s slot corner, as Kary Vincent is considered one of the players opposing teams will test. “He’s just OK,” said a coach. “He’s a track guy, he’s not tough or a great tackler. I thought he was the weak link.”

Sounds more like jealous envy from some opposing assistants. Aranda and his defense couldn't have picked a better stage to show what LSU's DC has been working on all season. LSU's explosive offense bought Aranda valuable time to experiment. Saturday, his brain trust will be on full display. Geaux Tigers!

Bulletin Board material
Nobody needs extra motivation in this one, bud. If they're looking to the 'bulletin board" for inspiration, they've got problems.

LSU was lacking half their Dline starters and depth for most of this season, guess that was lost on these idiots. Aranda was forced to experiment a lot, and LSU's explosive offense helped in a big way. Now's the time for Aranda to show what he's accomplished in his lab.

You haven t posted anything positive with the few post you have posted. So I say get your altaring arse out of LSUnthreads naw! And

He kinda nailed it really. No secrets revealed here.

Weak nickel, Chaisson not living up to the pre-season all American hype, no Divinity.
Offense HAS to be firing on all cylinders. A goal line stop from BAMA like Auburn was able to and that's the game.

Jam their corners at the line and rush 5-6.
Don’t give Tuna more than 1.2-1.5 seconds to get rid of the ball.
Put linebackers out there on the WRs if necessary. Just make damn sure you either knock them on their arse or at least knock off their timing.

I don't see anything inaccurate. LSU's pass rush is basically non existant even against lesser teams like Vandy.
Posted on 11/7/19 at 7:05 pm to TrueTigerTale
They can't get pressure.
Also, lol @ people who really believe the "anonymous coaches" thing. This is just bloggers getting clicks and talking about everything people already know. However, the Texas thing is laughable. I don't think we are playing on a 110 degree field.

I cant't argue with any of that

All of this is accurate Not as extreme as this lays out. But this nails our challenge.
Bama has similar issues.

I want LSU's critics known so that when LSU defeats Ala, it's that much of a bigger statement to them and college football fans.
Not making excuses for Aranda, I'm just telling you, he was put in a tough spot this season, and now he's going to deliver in Tuscaloosa!

I think everything said here is spot on, but I think we win anyway. I don’t think Aranda has some sort of magic up his sleeve. I just think it’s our year and we will just find a way to win.

From opposing coaches huh? All of them who seemingly loss to LSU and couldn't figure out what to do with us and this is what they saying? Right

We have not generated a pass rush from a base defense in several years.
Pre snap during the Auburn game it was apparent our defensive backs did not know where to line up or who to,guard.
Not that I know anything. I expect Tua to torch our defense. I do think Burrow will torch them. Let’s hope the good guys win.
IMO we should blitz over and over again. Expect to get burned. But hope to,create a turnover or two. We can score enough to give up some plays

You realize this isn't really opposing coaches. Some in here don't get that.
