Defense

This past game against Florida in my mind was a wake up call for the two denfense coordinators. They sat back in coverage all game with inexperienced cornerbacks. I think the LSU defense has just as much talent as any other defense in the SEC, the defensive scheme is just off. I know alot of you will say that I am being negative, and that I need to get a break, but our defense gave up 44 points in that game. That hasn't been done since the Dinardo days. I love Les Miles, and from what I've heard he is a whole lot better person than Nick Saban. I talked to an ex-LSU football player that played under Nick Saban, and he said that Saban was a dick. He also said that everybody was afraid to approach him at practice, because he always looked like he had something stuck up his arse. All I'm saying is we need a little of that on the defensive side of the ball. LSU used to be known as an agressive defense, that would take quarterbacks out of the game consistently. I just haven't seen that this year, or at the end of last year.


We need to blitz alot more to keep the quarterbacks on their heels. I mean, what did you expect. If I told you that we weren't going to blitz Tebow at all, you wouldn't have believed me. Well it happened, and tore us apart. We only have had 3 interceptions this year, lowest in the SEC, because we aren't forcing quarterbacks to make mistakes by getting in their face. It is proven over the years, that teams who have an aggressive defense scheme are very successful. Especially if that team has some of the best players in the country. Oh! P.S. you can blitz on 1st and 2nd down so that the oppenent doesn't end up with 3rd and short, or a big play every time!
