How can you blame him for avoiding this narcissistic shite storm!

Def a good read. Hate the per capita argument. Go look how many players were drafted from the likes of Florida, ga, Texas and Cali. They ad 4 times as much as la. Those states can support that many more schools and still be as talented as lsu as far as NFL prospects are concerned.

Impressive, your first post was.

While LSU is known for having NFL corners and defensive linemen, its defense is actually built around the leadership of safeties and linebackers. In 2012, will linebacker Lamin Barrow, mike linebacker Kevin Minter, and free safety Eric Reid held down the middle of the Tiger defense and stayed on the field in every package.
quote:
For the 2013 unit, the team was anchored by will Lamin Barrow, mike D.J. Welter, and strong safety Craig Loston. The 2014 defense will be led by Welter at mike and Kwon Alexander at the will, along with a need for free safety Jalen Mills or another Tiger veteran to step up.

The major sub-package that illustrates differences between LSU and most other teams is its mustang package
quote:
The brilliance of the mustang package from an X's and O's perspective is the multiplicity in coverages and pressures it can bring against opponents. Chavis will bring three-man pressures, four-man pressures, five-man fire zones, and also six-/seven-man blitzes with man coverage.
quote:
One favorite call out of the mustang is a basic four-man blitz that brings the dime from the weakside and drops the defense into Tampa 2 coverage:The Tampa 2 is a classically great third-down defense, and it's difficult to anticipate, considering the safety pressure LSU will often bring from the mustang look. That means the dimeback blitz off the edge often has a high hit rate. It's very difficult to beat a good Tampa 2 defense on third and long, and virtually impossible if it's paired with good four-man pressure.

Good read. The Mustang package with TM7 and Ron Brooks was absolutely lethal.
Can wait til football season starts.

A lot of time was spent assembling that article. Thanks

Thanks for posting.
Can anyone recommend a good book for someone to get deeper into understanding the game from this article's perspective? I'm no coach or expert, but would like to learn a little more on the X's and O's.

We need to get us another TM7.

It's so funny because one of Chavis' biggest knock by UT fans was that he couldn't adapt the spread at UF was killing him.

Tennessee is the Tennessee we know now for a reason.

Check out the Essential Smart Football LINK by Chris B. Brown (the writer not the crazy R&B singer). It has high level descriptions of offensive and defensive strategy and also just a lot of background on the origin of certain offenses and coaching philosophies. I think its meant for the armchair quarterback.

By the title I thought this was going to be some weird betting thread about how good LSU Shreveport's been against the spread over the years.
