Dude was invisible. I wasn't paying attention, maybe he was double teamed most of the night. I really wish he had had a better final game, but he still had a great season and career and will always be fondly thought of.




It was amazing how we won without him and PP really doing very much.

he got double teamed some from what i saw but i dont think it was all game. our dline really didn't show much fight at all and we still rolled.

pp was mainly taken out by coverage that chavis was calling. i really hate this 10 yards off the man soft zone when we have 2 big shut down corners

it wasn't all night and he missed and whiffed on some bad tackles. drake was good but nights like tonight keep him behind dorsey and chad l as far as great dt's go at LSU.

Not just from last night. Have a good combine and pro day he will be fine.

Patrick Peterson also was invisible. The real playmakers were Jefferson and Tolliver on offese. The unknown CB's were better than the hyped CB's.

C'mon guys. Don't overreact. Drake was tying guys up in the middle which allowed a lot of pressure from the outside.

Nevis and the rest of the line broke threw quite a bit last night. Tannehill got rid of the ball or Mathieu got to him quicker.

Effort was there, but stats may not reflect how much impact Nevis and the line really had.

Holding Cyrus Gray to 100 yds on 20 car. is big based on the zone he's been in (against Big 12 defenses).

watch the game again most of that was chavis and his soft zone scheme. pp didn't allow many yac but alot of catches in front of him just due to the coverage called by chavis.

i disagree with the style of play when you have big physical corners like pp7 and mo. id lock them down on wrs and blitz more instead of what we did last night

No way...have you ever heard of the combine. This is the event that the pro scounts go to for evaluation of a player. Look at Ciron Black, he had props all year and flopped at the combine!
