I wanna know why we didn't have someone in the middle of the field.

Because Welter can line up everyone else but himself

Everytime he they run up the gut our "middle guy " blitzed.......not up the middle. it was odd

fricking this..

on the long td run by prescott, welter was moving himself and the olb to the weakside....entire middle of the field open (on the fricking strong side)...prescott takes off

Pretty sure we played a lot of 0 coverage aka man to man on the outside with blutzing MLB and cb maybe a safety blitz.

So in this situation if you break a run into the secondary the cb playing near the sidelines have to make plays which means big yardage.

Oh...there was somebody there alright!

They were in 0 coverage?

{I sat and pointed out welter every play on one of their long drives. Every play he got blocked easily to the outside or either missed a tackle. It was sad}

Bingo. Welter wants no part of contact. Every time MSU ran the option read, DJ slides out of his gap (avoids contact and the duty of stuffing his own lane), and the runner would just cut right back to the middle, running right through the area he just vacated.

The saints finally woke up with Patrick Robinson.
I still don't see how Welter holds a starting spot on this defense. The Chief is killing us by his choice of of starting MLB.

Welter is the weakest link. This is a huge problem, because the middle of the field is there for any team who wants to visit it.

Over the past two seasons,
Georgia, Bama, Ole Miss, now MSU, all smashed it up the middle. At the starter, who now averages 1.64 solo tackles a game, on over 17 games as a starter.

Lawd help me understand why Beckwidth and Garrett remain on the sidelines, as Welter continues to have absolutely zero impact, on any game. Please stop blaming the D-line. The man in the middle is going to cost us big time this year if we don't update our depth chart.

P.S.
Of course, I'm more than prepared for the Welter lovers to bash me. Whatever.... aside from Welter, the decision to play Jennings over Harris, still boggles the mind (and has cost us a game). Jennings is way to indecisive in the pocket. He can through the hell out of a fade, but anything that calls for more than one read, and he gives me flash backs of Jordan Jefferson. Thinking too much instead of just letting it fly.

The play calling was a nightmare. Once again, we have to be down by multiple scores before we put 3 wideouts on the field. Its pretty maddening to say the least.

The quote of the year came from my wife as she was talking to her friend on the phone.

"I'm a 30 year old pregnant woman who has never played a down of football, and I know what play you are running. Imagine what the coach who gets paid to stop you must be thinking."

When talking about LSU's ridiculously predictable, and ineffective offense.

Welter was in the middle and ran himself right out of every damn play. He was lost in O linemen all damn night.
