Um. Look, I'm not trying to ride Chavis' jock here, but that's just a retarded assertion. The ONLY statistic that can strain a defense is TOP?

I mean....speaking generally and not just about LSU, you're saying that inability to score or maybe tons of turnovers couldn't cause a strain on a defense?

I mean hey, if I'm a DC and my offense is putting up 40 a game that's going to make my job a LOT easier. And, if my offense is scoring 10 per game, that's a LOT more challenging.

Um look, I get that you obviously didn't read this thread because the idiotic statement you just made has been addressed in about 30 different ways. His job as a DC is to stop the opposing offense in 3 plays, period. It doesn't matter if we score 0 points or 50 points, the intensity level of the defense should always be the same at an elite SEC program. Even if we had an offense that was shut out every single game, it wouldn't effect Chavis in the least.

As I said, his job as a defensive coordinator is to stop the other team from scoring. If his defense plays well and the offense loses the game, Miles and Cameron are the ones that end up taking the flak. And yea, turnovers would put more strain on the defense but that doesn't apply to Chavis because LSU rarely turns the ball over. TOP is the only statistic that directly effects the defensive coordinator's ability to do HIS job and Chavis' job wasn't to outscore the other team, his job is to stop the other team on third down and the only way that the offense can effect that is by A. Turning the ball over and leaving him with a short field which didn't apply during his tenure at LSU and B. Having a shitty TOP that causes the defense to get tired out
