Tackling is decent and dbs turn to find the ball.

I think this is potentially a great hire, because he seems to teach the aggressive Defense that LSU is known for.

I know the rules have changed drastically over the years, but are DB’s still allowed to use hands (bump) within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage? I miss the days of great cb’s hand fighting and knocking the rhythm of the offense off.

In the video, I see outside CB’s 2 yds off, but no one seems to punch at the snap as much. Also, everyone consistently allows the slot to move free off the line. I remember some of our past defenses where a blitzer would pop that slot guy and release him before edge containment blitzing. Not flaming at all just curious on the reasoning behind the changes.
