DB play has regressed the last two seasons, and it isn't some anti-LSU babble.

LSU is currently ranked 20th in Total Defense in the country, 16th in Pass Defense. You're being duped because there were some pretty badly botched zone coverages throughout the season. The DB's main problem this year is play recognition, primarily due to inexperience and the fact that Loston just doesn't have great football instincts.

Robinson being our best DB as a true freshman that didn't even join the team until late fall camp should make it clear the issue.

Robinson is a situational player at this point, it's pretty easy for a stud DB to play man right off the bat.

+1 exactly right, and no BS or psycobabble.

That and when you have to cover offensive players for an extended period of time because the line or LB's aren't putting any pressure on the QB, you're not going to be successful either.
