re: Defense - I'm going to keep it real simple

How is it coaching when it’s the personnel that’s changed and not the coach? We have 6/7 starters injured, playing hurt or not even on the team anymore. The discrepancy in yards per play from 2017 to this year is the same between 2016 and 2017 yet nobody noticed back then, why is that? It’s because of the big plays, we give up big plays in the run game because we’re a very slow defense. Our LBs are average at best and 3 or 4 secondary players can’t run because of injury. And we can’t replace those guys because there’s no depth. Joseph, Divinity, Thomas, Harris were all starters and rotation guys and are all gone. We give up big plays in the passing game because we have no pass rushers. The team leaders in sacks last season were Divinity and Delpit, we also had Anthony who flashed at times. Divinity is gone Anthony doesn’t play, Delpit is playing center field so we can’t use him to blitz like we used to. Take any LSU defense then take away their top 4-5 pass rushers and ask yourself what that would look like. Aranda didn’t forget how to coach.
