Rashard Robinson - One Mistake and Done.

I've been waiting for this topic to pop up for the last two days.
Our D holds Bama to THREE 3 &outs to start off the game. Defense is locking it down and then Robinson gets called for a questionable pass interference which went to the home team. Im fine with that. BUT, did Miles SIT him for the rest of the game??!!??
Consequently, the next play was a 50 yard TD pass to the TE on Mills first play.
THEY WENT AFTER #28 ALL NIGHT AFTER THAT.
I could see it from my recliner. Inexplainable.
That allowed AJ to get on a roll and from there that was it.
We had him rattled to start. I just don't understand sitting top notch talent bc they make a mistake.
From there, they continued to throw at him and we made zero adjustments. Those are things a coach is paid to see and adjust.
Not calling for CLM head but I think this is a major concern we as a fan base have towards the the coach.

Who?

Copeland shouldn't have been benched either for a fumble. That's ridiculous.

Yes I noticed this also. He also sat down his best blocking fullback for the game because of a fumble, as he did Hill against ole Miss. This concept has cost LSU big time. Get on the players, refocus them and get them back on the field to make up for their mistake. The greatest players make mistakes.
Miles should sit himself for some of the mistakes he makes....

mills was getting beat on just about every play one before the 50 yard td pass that woulda been a td pass if placed better. He is constatly trying to play other peoples position or tryin guard other players beside his own...he is guessing to much he would be great if he would just play his man and stop trying to make plays that arent there...and then he needs to learn to tackle and not just throw his body into people...i agree with the OP RR should of never came out the game he locked his guy down no he isnt perfect but he is better than mills

Chavis decides who plays on defense.
The only other" dumbass coach" I know that does this type of thing for mistakes is Bill Belichik.

How do you know chief didnt sit him?
Same for copeland, frank wilsons in charge of the rb rotation.
Not that it really matters, but im just saying.

Robinson was the 1 player who has stepped up on defense this season.
Apparently Miles is ok with CBs who gets burned by a TE, but not ok with probably our best defensive player to date committing a penalty every CB in the world commits at some point.
Just makes no sense. Did no good, let him play and redeem himself.

So, we give up only 179 passing and one play was 52 yards, so we give up about 125 yards the whole game. That was "going after #28 all night"? In fact, we only gave up about 75 yards passing in the 2nd half. It wasn't the pass defense, it was the run defense that killed us. Not defending the move, but just corrected the premise.

Not really questionable. Robinson had a hand full of the receiver's jersey for more than just a nanosecond; we'd have screamed for PI if the roles were reversed.

Robinson, right or wrong, is the 3rd CB. He plays when we are in nickel and that's all.
He wasn't benched, we just didn't play much nickel.
Copeland was benched for fumbling.
Kwon was benched for blowing the assignment in the fake.
Martin was benched for being out of position on the TE touchdown.
Robinson was not benched.

classic Miles. He treats different players differently.
If you are one of "The Chosen", you are given chance after chance. No matter how badly you screw up, you won't be benched and you won't lose your spot. If you take plays off, consistently play poorly, make poor off-field decisions, make stupid penalties, don't know the playbook, play out of position, ect, it doesn't matter. You will still start and play the majority of snaps.
If you are not one of "The Chosen", one mistake, and you will be replaced, often with no chance to redeem yourself. It is a poor coaching method that breeds great loyalty among "The Chosen", but breeds poor play, consistent flat performances (Playing "down" to the opposition), poor motivation by non-chosen because they know they have zero opportunities, "non-chosen" players leaving early for the draft, and watching your team fall behind while the best player at a position, that was owning the opponent the entire time he was in the game, sits on the bench for no reason for the rest of the game or even season (See Jerrett Lee).
It's one of the 3 big things that I don't like about Les Miles as a coach ("The Chosen" concept applies to the coaching staff as well). The other is situational offensive play calling, and clock management.

JC Copeland agrees with your post.
I think MIles has lost his mind when it comes to disciplining players for mistakes often ones which are forced. I could understand it if the team was stacked three deep at every key position but, it isn't.

no, robinson only plays in man/nickel situations right now, Bama did nothing but run the ball in the second half...

The doctrine of benching our players should they make a mistake is f'ng moronic.

I watched that and the fact that Copeland wasn't let back into the game and left after that play. I knew we were going to go full retard and couldn't bear to watch it.

So now Miles meddles in the defense?
