the truth is somewhere in the middle, but when you get one that is above average you want to keep him but it's not like he is unreplaceable. Hopefully he stays a while however as continuity can be a good thing.

Venables Is a better D/C then Aranda and it’s not even close. We keep trying to convince ourselves that Aranda is great, but in reality he’s just average. I hate to admit it, but it’s true. He was pitiful in losses to ND and A&M. I get nervous when the games on the line and we’re on defense. I’ve seen great defenses at LSU and to me, he’s just average. Flame away...

Blaming him for ND and A&M is laughable. Donte Jackson screwed that up no matter who the DC was. Just one bad play in an otherwise solid career. I guess you thought A&M won that one legitimately and that a super human DC was suppose to cover up for a gassed D.

As far as him overall as a DC many smart folks who make a living analyzing football disagree with you wholeheartedly. But that is OK, you have a right to be wrong. I am sure it has happened many times to you before. We all still love you for it:).
