Quick question about Aranda's Scheme

He apparently can use both. I remember in his presser him saying that he was excited to have the type of athletes in the secondary that would allow him to man up and come after people on occasion. That being said, I don't know that we can draw any preference from that comment. I think LSU has always been a better man team in the last decade and a half. I think he'll probably try and utilize that advantage.

I think he will use mostly man but mix in zone to keep the offense off balance

With the cornerbacks they have and the depth at linebacker being questionable I can see a lot of man to man on the outside with the safeties being there to help run support. Tre White and Kevin Tolliver will be able to shut down most of the 1 and 2 receivers they will face all year by themselves. I just don't see QB's having a lot of time to throw the ball to begin with. Arden Key is going to be an all american as a blitzing outside linebacker.

Im ready to see the Laron blitz again



RIP Brodie Croyle/ John Parker Wilson

I can hear, I believe it was Dave Neal.." And John Parker Wilson just got ANNIHILATED!!!"





Good times had by all

Oh absolutely. And if the front 7 scheme is as nasty/disruptive as it seems, no reason to play out of that as long as match ups favor you

Having corners that can play man and somewhat be on islands allows Aranda, or any DC, to do some much more and be more creative. Opens up so many disguises and blitzes

Man. It will allow more blitzing and disruption in the front seven
