When will Chavis stop leaving the middle wide open?

I can not for life of me figure out why he continues to leave the middle linebacker on a island knowing the weakness there. And it's not just a Welter problem. Beckwith, though a vast improvement, missed some tackles one on one also.

Miles had said twice they have that fixed

It is crazy. There is no one there over and over again.
I wish that LSU could run against a front like that once in a while.
Are we so afraid of the other team getting to the edge? Are our DEs that weak that they cannot play contain and seal off the edges? Where are our OLBs?
Sometimes it seems like the other team has 11 on offense and we have 7. We just seem outnumbered most of the time.

They bite hard on play fakes and take there selves out of the play.
Conversely, we do not run read plays well and opposing lbs are never fooled.

Offense goes 5 wide. Defense follows with 5 defenders and a OLB\Safety halfway defending the middle and halfway on the side with 3 receivers
Leaves 4 DL and Welter in the middle.
5 OL vs 4 DL and Welter = 20+ yard gain every time.

Yet, with our veteran OLine, great, athletic WRs, talented RBs, and athletic QBs, we NEVER go 5 Wide and do the same thing. We just keep pounding it up the middle into 10 men in the box for 2 yard gains.
It is almost like the coaches stopped watching football in 1978 or something. I don't get it.

Its funny, because I'm one of them, that was ready for welter to see less time. But then beck with didn't do much better. He was responsible for the 2nd TD. So I guess the coaches do know their players.

That's is my point. Someone should be able to make the fricking call to get out of man every once in a while you would think. Or another novel concept, man up your corners and let the safties cover the middle to help and hey read and react to the play.

Did not happen. Please watch the games before posting.

I have someone to do that for me. Now go pop your pimples.

We have an alignment against an empty backfield were all the LBs are outside the DEs. Given the running skills of Prescott and Marshall, why in hell would we pull everyone out of the middle? What possible logic is there for this alignment?

I just want us to run out of spread formations. 4 WR, shotgun, zone read. Not all the time, but that 4 WR set with the zone read, should be used at least 8 times per game. It would be even more effective if they made Fournette the workhorse so it would not be a give away when we do run it.
We should run 3 and 4 WRs a lot more to at least give the allusion that we will pass. I really don't think the Harris of Auburn is the real Harris. I honestly believe he lights it up at home against Kentucky. Would be the perfect game to gain confidence against a decent opponent at home. He has faced the best pass rush he will see all regular season (yes, I believe we become bowl eligible).

Don't have pass rush so they try and put corners on island but then they get burned and bring the safety's out which leaves the middle open. Lb's and line can't shed blocks.

Many times the tackles are getting carried to the outside or blown off the football leaving a linebacker having to cover a massive hole while being blocked. Everything pivots off the weak play of the DL.

Welter and Beckwith suck arse as MLB's, what do you expect?

quote:i don't think it is all on Chavis. The outside linebacker is lining up on a blitz on the outside that is too late to get to either the tailback or QB unless they are running right at them or dropping back to pass.
When will Chavis stop leaving the middle wide open?
On the play two weeks ago it looked like the safety pulled the linebacker out of coverage on the line and had him following the slot receiver instead. When the play broke through a wide open hole the safety was about 5-10 yards from the sideline way too far out to help in the middle.
Additionally our d-lineman should not get pushed out of position when they are going one on one. In fact we really need at least one d-lineman who requires a double team.
