re: Why You Can't "Stack the Box" vs. Auburn (with graphics/pics)

You're acting like Auburn completing 2 or 3 deep passes against LSU would have been the end of the world. You are basically saying that giving up 440 rushing yards is okay because you like to play scared because you're afraid of the deep pass.

No, that's not what I said at all.

But leaving unmarked receivers is the death of any defense.

It has less to do with deep passes than it does with men being wide open consistently if you adhere to the philosophy you want to believe in.

Auburn does not have a great passing game. On a good day they complete maybe 12 of them.

Sigh. They don't have to man. They run it on everyone. Everyone.

Since about week three they have run roughshod over every single opponent. Alabama had a wretched passing game last season. Did it matter one god damn bit? No. Because they just ran it up and down your arse, didn't matter if you "stacked" the box.

And no team in the country is going to stop Auburn with this scheme that you are defending. Nobody. You would get the same result against anybody else. A 7-on-6 running setup with Newton at QB and only 2 LB's trying to cover the running game from sideline-to-sideline is going to blow up in your face no matter who you are. It's plain incompetent.

Okay, so the solution is obviously to put 8 dudes in there. Got it.
