Is anyone concerned about our Defense?

Not being negative, enjoying our win, but does anyone think our Defense resembled the one that played against Bama and Clemson last year? Sure they lost key players, but they seemed gassed in last night's game. And as a recovering negatiger, I just wanted to say I enjoyed the offense for the first time in years!

No, just you.

It'll be a work in progress. First thing they had to do was play a quality opponent. Now we can see what needs to be fixed

LBs were the only group that looked at all alarming, and they were without Jones. The Chief will make it right; I'm not worried.

TCU is a good team. The kickoff return and Blue fumble gave them 14 pts. Last night will be TCU's lowest total yards for the year.

First game get over it! We lost a shite load of players on defense; give them a few weeks. Welter is not good at all but what do I know, I just post on this board

Yes.

Way more concerned about our STs. KO TD was a break down in lane assignments. Lots of new faces on STs and no more Reid and Landry (it would seem) who seemed to be involved a lot last yr.

LOL. No. We gave up a kick return for a TD and gave them the ball on the 4. They had one other TD all night. They forced turnovers as well. Not concerned in the least.

Nope, Chavis will coach them up. Look at his track record. They'll make adjustments. This game was just a few plays away from being a blowout.
Posted on 9/1/13 at 9:58 am to Waterboy1972
Yes. LB's looked a bit slow IMO.

No but I'm concerned about welter.
Where was tahj jones?

A little concerned about our ends but they were ok. Welter needs to play less. Our secondary is going to be outstanding. I thought Micah Eugene had a great game last night. In the end, we gave up less than 300 yards to a ranked team in the first game. Take out the kick return and the fumble on the 5 and the D gave up 13 points.

We held them under 300 yards and they struggled to sustain drives. I don't know what else you people want.

1st game, no amount of conditioning can actually simulate that.

No. I think everyone has been spoiled by the past few years. We won't be all world like we have been but our offense will more than make up for it.
Posted on 9/1/13 at 10:18 am to Waterboy1972
Not at all, the only thing concerning to me is depth of the DL.
One of the most promising things I saw last night, aside from stellar play on offense, was Ego Ferguson blowing up double teams and pressuring the QB. If you have two dominant DTs, that is something pretty special to build around. They have a little work to do at LB and in the secondary but we have a couple cupcakes to get things in gear there.

We held them to 259 total yards, AND IT WAS THE FIRST GAME. I was very pleased with our defense. They will only get better.

The defense is going to be nasty as the season goes on. This is going to be a defense that will be one of the best by the end of the year. I'm a little nervous our front 7 is a little light for Alabama, but that is the only concern IMO. I think when Alabama sees the game footage of our game last night, they are going to be saying "oh shite"

I'm with you on this. Based on perception, LSU looked a little slow. Didn't see much from LB's. I thought guys like Kwon, Deibo Jones, Ronnie Feist would step up this year.
On the other hand, LSU outgained TCU, 448-259. The Tigers ran 80 plays to TCU's 54 which was reverse of Clemson in # of plays. It seemed like TCU had more than 259. But here's another key point: LSU 5.6 yds/play vs. TCU 4.8 yds/play. 4.8 too much win 11-12 games against this schedule.
