The problem is we have no depth at LB and at DT. That's the issue. Saying we have no difference makers in the front 7 is just wrong. We do have some. But we have a huge drop off after them and they get worn down during games, especially the guys in the middle.


I dont disagree with you that we have playmakers in the front 7 but this whining about depth is tiresome. In 2 of 3 LSUs losses, they were down 21-0 and 24-0 , in the first half. its not a matter of the defense playing strong for 3 quarters then the wheels come off in the 4th. Its merely an average unit with a below average DC

We need linebackers, we have one. We need better safety play as well.

Perhaps the scheme was an issue, but I think Steele went to Zone to help the personnel issues, we just don't have players who are used to it. That will come in time. Most of our guys don't have any zone concepts coming from high school. I watched a high school team that changed coordinators this year, the D was pretty bad at the beginning of the year, but because of personnel it had to be done. They eventually got it.

Steele isn't a bad coordinator, it will just take time for players to learn his system fully.
