The crying about Aranda and the D is embarrassing

The complaints were warranted in the first half. Aranda addressed it though and did exactly what we wanted him to do, everyone should be pleased.

He needs help game planning, period.
His halftime adjustments are great but #84 wasn’t a secret to anyone.
And I’m sorry to say it but Stevens simply isn’t much of an asset for the D

The only thing embarrassing was the complete inability of the defense to stop a perfectly mediocre Florida offense with a severely inexperienced QB.

Finally getting a few stops in the second half doesn't overshadow an overall inept performance.

Fact.

I disagree. Florida put up 460 yards and 28 first downs. The first downs stat is telling as it shows how they consistently moved the ball up and down the field.

Keep in mind, we were going up against a backup (that, in my opinion, is better than Franks) with a bum knee. Trask looked great out there.

When the third-strong backup QB went in, you knew he was going to run it. He got considerable yardage every time.

We had many successful blitzes that we'd over run or Trask would simply sidestep effortlessly to avoid.

We also missed many turnover opportunities. Point being, this defense brought a whole lot back this year. I think it's fair to say that we thought this would be an elite unit. They just aren't.

Sadly, looking at the roster (Chaisson, Phillips, Delpit, Queen, Stingley, Stevens, Fulton, etc.) I don't think it's a "lack-of-talent" issue...

Some of these people on here will bitch moan and complain because they are never happy. I am enjoying this football team. So what if the defense gives up some yards and points. We winning. Be proud of these young men for coming up clutch when they need it.

First of all O approves each gameplan and the schemes they run and I’m quite confident that between Aranda and O they know more about defense than the rant does.

When was the last time you saw an LSU defense that is as technically unsound as this one? You can talk about gameplay all you want, that doesn’t excuse bad tackling and poor assignment reads. Those go back to coaching. Don’t even get me started on this unit playing zone coverage.

If the coach can’t get the players to a point of success in a game plan, then we see what they are made of. A bad coach keeps hammering away. A good coach will make adjustments when forced. A great coach will adjust ahead of time to fit what he has. I’ve always looked at Aranda as a great coach, but he’s just acting like a good one at the moment. Because when does this D come alive- when we go back to aggressive man.

The sheeple are out in full force. “We are best team on the plant. Don’t question anything. We are so good it is impossible for us to improve.” Ok buddy we get it. You don’t think the team needs to work on anything or improve in any way. Point taken.

You football much?

Like bringing constant pressure wouldn't have made an easy adjustment for Florida and caused some big plays. We actually brought pressure several times on 3rd and it got us beat for huge first downs. We saw what happened in the slot vs their previous opponents and shut it down, and adjusted very well in the second half once we started seeing some of the same looks we were beat on in the first half. There is a reason why they are coaches and everyone here is not. Most of yall would get absolutely destroyed calling plays.
