Steele's defense: the numbers
Posted on 12/30/15 at 11:30 am

nationally:
total defense: #8
yards per play: #6
pts. per game: #42
as per Jimmy Ott this morning. Not too bad really. We could certainly do much, much worse. I'm ok with keeping him. It was, after all, his first year. I expect next year to be even better. Don't really understand all the hate.

I was pleasantly surprised when I heard that

I don't think Steele was much of a problem at all this year.
I think all the issues on D were tied to lack of depth in the front 7 and the hiccups that come with a new coach/scheme.
Should be much better next year with the same defensive staff if we get any LB production.

Improvement on special teams, primarily kick and punt coverage, would be huge for the scoring number.

The DL was much more aggressive. The linebackers were solid. The decline was with the defensive backfield. They got burned in key situations all year, even with increased pressure from the front 7.

yeah it was the points per game that really hurt us. Many of those came off busted coverages and missed tackles (which doesn't absolve Steele). I think we can do a lot better in terms of a DC hire and our defense was just as bad as our offense in our 3 losses, but it wasn't all bad this year.

Steele and O are a winning combo going forward. I hope he stays. The scoring number will be improved with the DBs having another year in his system. I'm glad we have a LB coach as DC. We are going to need that next year.

Just asking because I do not know. Serious question. Were did LSU rank with the oppositions average starting position. That could greatly skew the results and could be why the opponents did so much better scoring than actually moving the ball.
Points per game could be in part to the offense and SPECIAL TEAMS!

Yeah. Steele took a lot of shite this year but a lot of it was unfair.
Bottom line. It's hard to stay dominant on defense if your offense turns invisible for large portions of games.
Yes, sometimes the defense looked rough early in games. But, it's still hard to tell in the overall picture.

T White gets beat more than Tolliver. Our cb's might be better next year.

Gave up way too many big plays especially on 3rd and long and 3rd and very short. More busted coverages than I have ever seen from an LSU defensive backfield. We need to be more sound in assignments, bigger and deeper on the DL and LB to stop the power runs you get from Bama etc. One thing that was an improvement to me was the aggression at the end of some games to keep teams from coming back. TAM comes to mind and a couple of others. Seemed a problem with Chavis. And evidenced by his inability to stop us on our final drive against TAM.

Now take out the OOC opponents and tell me where he ranks.

But our special teams with awful kickoffs, poor kick coverage, at least 1 spanked punt per game did not help the defense either. Peveto needs to go.

using CFBstats.com, only the PPG looks right. where are you getting this from? just trusting Jimmy?

Yeah I looked at CFBstats this morning.
Something's not right.

Exactly!! Steele has actually planned pretty well. Our busted plays in games were when players didnt know where to be and not the wrong scheme.... Players just need to learn and get one more year in the system. Special teams has been abysmal. Even a slight improvement would help the defense do wonders

Arent we like #27 in total defense?? Still not bad, but his stats dont make sense

That's SEC rankings (for the first two).
