re: Scheme might be an issue, but here is what I noticed after seeing film

quote:

---

- players don't understand leverage on the ball, when tackling, defenders should keep the ball inside and in front at all times.

---

Agreed, and I've seen this all season long across college football, not just LSU. Defenses are really poorly coached these days.

quote:

---

- they are not bad in man, but when you are in man and you miss tackles, it is trouble. Happened to Welch, and Harris both on 3rd down

---

I think LSU's corners are better suited to play man than zone. I know a lot of people disagree with me and that's fine, but there is enough length and athleticism to play man, they just need to get more physical and have a short memory when they get beat. I've seen them make good plays on the ball when playing man, the bigger issue is the lack of safety help and lack of pass rush IMO.

quote:

- Savion Jones was used and abused on that little toss play. No adjustment was ever made by the staff.

---

Yes, and I can't even be mad at Savion, that's a complete failure in coaching.

quote:

---

- Whit Weeks gets it, he understands how to use his hands and how to play the game. Understands how to take on blocks, good player

---

He was the best player on defense against Ole Miss and maybe the only guy out there who looked like he cared at times.
