Get ready to see OLBs manned-up on slot WRs


If this happens at LSU, this truly was a terrible hire. In general, it's a bad idea. At LSU, where we pump out NFL DBs on an annual basis, it's grounds for dismissal.

Tre White
Dwayne Thomas
Jalen Mills
Ed Paris
Jamal Peters
Donte Jackson
Kevin Tolliver II
Xavier Lewis
Saivion Smith
Eric Monroe
Andraez Williams

Especially given the fact that we have almost no OLBs returning after 2015, it would be particularly baffling.

I watched the W. Virginia game over the weekend. To me, the DBs weren't too good. His scheme requires DBs to be able to make open-field tackles at times, which we've historically done well. Those guys couldn't tackle with help. Geno Smith and Tavon Austin did have a field-day, but that team also put up 533 yards against Chavis' defense that same season. WVU put up 595 yards against them. We simply had better athletes and ran away with the win. We ran 69 plays to WVU's 87.
