First, I’d like to wish Todd Harris good vibes. His injury looked bad and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s out for the year. Our corners are the strength in the back end and I think Stingley/Fulton combo is as good as it gets. Flott needs experience and time in the weight room but he has a bright future. I’m not really sure what we have after that, but hopefully those young guys get coached up. Safety is where I have concerns after the Harris injury. Delpit is a boss but he’s been quiet so far this year. Teams are avoiding him and going at other guys from what I’ve seen. Kary Vincent had a rough night and Jacoby seems to excel more around the box. I’m waiting on Eric Monroe to step up and maybe this will be his chance. I don’t trust Vincent or Cam Lewis to make plays from centerfield. We have the next few weeks to get this right, but our defense is not playing up to their potential in any way.

Vincent has had 2 really bad weeks in a row. Texas picked on him constantly which is one reason why Duvernay had such a huge game. Vincent looks confused and lost on the field.

i don't know about that. We made adjustments and we shut out Northwestern in the second half. We looked more like how we should look.

We'll continue to work out some kinks and our defense is typically our strong suit.


We'll be good. We play Vandy, then a bye, then Utah State before we play Florida. Plenty of time to work on things that need to be addressed.

The other reasons were Delpit, Fulton and our LBs.

I think Todd Harris has below average coverage skills but he is great in run support. I honestly think Monroe needs to be the starting free safety if he is healthy enough because Harris didn't look to impressive tonight or last week against Texas. He plays to aggressive and its like he always get called for pass interference.

He is targeted quite a bit because he can’t get out of his own way. Hope he isn’t hut but he is a liability. Maybe he is a practice warrior

No reason to shite on the kid. He had a couple bad reads. He will be important for our success. You won't. So maybe STFU

Oh no I'm making observations and saying what I think in a forum. I didn't shite on the kid saying something like oh he's a dumbass and he shouldn't wear the jersey.

Not even close to it.

Yea, but there is no experience behind them. Flott will be a very good player, but he needs time, something we don't have the luxury of.

Harris has poor ball skills. He just can't play the ball. Like last week on Texas' last TD drive when Harris tackled the receiver, had he looked back for the ball he could have intercepted it. And tonight, on the play he got hurt, he didn't need to lunge over the receiver, he had plenty of time to undercut the receiver and pick the ball. All these DB's leaving early has caught up with LSU. Joseph leaving just makes it worse. Fricking selfish little boob. I can understand leaving for the NFL, but leaving because you are not the starter? That's just a selfish and childish move, IMO. But, Aranda has talent on this team, he will find some players. Look for Marcel to get a lot of playing time.

Something is not clicking and I can't put a finger on it. We just seem to be out of position a lot and that concerns me moving forward.

What has Eric Monroe done in the last 3 years that makes you think he should start?

Monroe looked good enough at times in 2017 that a lotta people thought he might snag a starting spot over Battle at some point last year. He was hurt most of the year though.

On another note, Cam Lewis looked good last night. Happy for that dude

Jesus Christ it’s umpossible to give fair objective analysis without being shite on by pussies.

There’s nothing wrong with calling out weaknesses and what we need to improve on. You must love complacency and think everything is just fine and dandy. Vincent hasn’t played well at all 2 games in a row and the tape shows it.

They need to stick with Man to man on the outside and if Stevens can’t cover any better than he did last night, he’s a liability.

Jacob Phillips mentioned somewhere that the defense has been working on different coverages for the first 3 weeks based on the opponents offensive style, and says they haven't tried mixing things up to create confusion. I think there's a method to Aranda's calls and the shaky coverage. They're ironing out problems and finding what works. I expect the defense to be rock solid by the Florida game if they stay healthy because there's too much talent and Aranda is too good of a DC with a fully loaded, healthy defense.

Or maybe I'm just too optimistic.
