It's not that we're not Talented.

It's that we just get pushed around out there. All game long. There is NEVER a time where an Auburn or a Mississippi State team should ever out physical us. That's the most embarrassing thing to me about all this. We've ALWAYS prided ourselves on being the the most physical team on the field since the Saban era. And this year we are timid and frankly scared looking out there.
Yeah we are young. But just because we're young doesn't mean that we should get pushed around and punched in the mouth an not punching back. This is still football this is still a physical game and we aren't that right now. Too much arm tackling and not enough people looking to hurt the ballcarrier.

Give these young guys another year in the program.

You do realize the difference between a 20/21 year old and a 18/19 year old right?

i agree with most of what you said, but part of the problem ive seen across the board is players try to tackle with their shoulder instead of wrapping the ball carrier up with both arms when they make contact. You may knock someone over but you cant tackle with just your shoulder. Hit hard yes, but dont let them get extra yardage because you didnt wrap up.

J Adams and Kwon will hit, that's about the only two.

And Dwayne Thomas looked to be a physical guy

be aware ...if I can get to you w leverage before you get to me.. I can move you, even if you are a bigger man.
our scheme is not working, so we are slow at reacting and therefore getting pushed around.

Indecisive young players aren't as experienced. Raw talent doesn't make up for hours in the weight room. Not only that, but when your QB play is so bad(and let's not pretend it's not awful) it makes the blocking that much more painful. An extra second or two pass blocking every play takes its toll. LSU's offensive line is never going to be bailed out by the QB. That's a problem.

they are indecisive, because our COACHES decide to change blocking schemes ... totally DUMB

There's good years and bad years. We'll be better next season after our guys gain more experience/weight/muscle.

This doesn't register to most of them. It's become cliche to use words like "UNACCEPTABLE, NEVER, NO EXCUSE" around here lately. It's sad how people expect freshman to walk through the door and be the next glenn Dorsey day one and if they aren't, fire all the coaches because they suck.

Maybe the coaches should've recruited better to put us in a position where we wouldn't be relying on 1st and 2nd year players at a position like DT. In a couple years the same thing will happen at LB since we appear to be taking a break from recruiting them.

Our current talent on the roster is overrated, defense especially.

Agree 100% yet our fans are living in 2011 still. Our speed and our size at CB is lacking, our interior OL is mostly upperclassman and is still lacking

Well Muschamp just said yesterday its literally impossible to recruit well enough to replace that much defensive talent that quickly. Most analysts agreed and said we were due a rebuilding year. And you do know we just signed the #1 MLB and lead for the #1 OLB in 2016 right?
