Canada's style of Offense - Its effect on Tiger Defense
Posted on 7/20/17 at 8:38 am

The LSU D will be practicing against a much different Offense than the last 10-15 years.
Question: How much does that affect the defense in the actual games?
On the one hand, perhaps it prepares Aranda's D for the spread-like offenses we will face.
Yet, LSU's D has hardly needed such prep/familiarity to succeed in this area, so perhaps not-so-much-so of a needed positive can be gained from that effect.
So, what about the physicality element? As far the Defense, in the latter part of the game (for the 2 and 3-deep), does it matter?
We all know that what separates the SEC Championship teams are what happens in the trenches in the latter part of the 3rd QTR and the 4th QTR.
How many times have we seen teams hang with Bama or LSU, and then the separation occurs late in the game.
A Defense that is conditioned to remain tough and physical late in the game, is one of the short-list items which separate the pretenders from the champions.
Does Coach O and Aranda's practice sessions and rigor offer all that is needed REGARDLESS of what Offense they practice against all week each week, or is there a tangible reduction in how the D will perform in the latter part of the games?

I will say this, I think when we installed the Oregon offense on our scout team in 2011 for our defense to prepare against all Spring/Summer/Fall, that helped our defense tremendously in every game we played.
They were ready for anything at any tempo.

No. If anything, it will help make them more disciplined.
There seem to be some big misconceptions about Canada's offense...
Canada does not run a "soft" offense like the air raid. It's just as physical as most traditional offenses. It's just based on misdirection.

This has been a long overlooked FACT!! Having to practice against that Oregon offense all summer and early fall got those guys in shape for the rest of the season. It was obvious.

sounds like you're asking if they'll be tough and well conditioned despite practicing against Canada's offense, or if the offense being whatever you think it is will take a toll.
The difference I see is that the defense will be smarter and more disciplined after months of working against an Offense trying to trick them or catch them out of position with shifts and changes of tempo. They should also be better conditioned, not worse.
The last few years their weakness on D was the power run despite seeing it every day in practice. So if they lack physicality up front on D, it won't be because of the offense. It will be because the interior Dline rebuilding job is not yet complete.

You know how it is here, anything that isn't a power I or wishbone is a soft gimmick offense

When Canada was first hired I had concerns that the defense might fatigue early because if the offense performs as expected there will be a number of quick scores ie: the defense will be on the field more often. After thinking about it, LSU's offense being so poor produced a multitude of 3 and outs which was already keeping the D on the field the majority of the time. Hopefully there will be a combination of effectively moving the ball deep into the 3rd and 4th quarter, better clock management, and better depth rotation on D. IMO this will help control the defense's ability to play physical toward the end of games.

Ones don't practice against ones all game week. Usually, the players expected to play will practice against the scout team, who tries to emulate the opponent.

I'm not sure if this has been asked or not, sorry if Germans, is Canada a booth coordinator or is he an on-the-field guy?

Did you just post an entire conversation......with yourself?
How many of you are there?
