My biggest bitch with the results of our D thus far is that it took 3 games into the season that include 2 losses to sec bottom feeders to figure out that they needed to come up with a more player friendly scheme. Is this new scheme going to be successful? Probably not right away. It would have been nice to start with a player friendly scheme to start with day 1 and add to it relative to what they could handle mentally. Looks like they didn't scrimmage or compete live enough to expose this enormous weakness.

With any progression on defense this team should easily be 3-0 then 4-0 after usce but this isn't the case. People say we are inexperienced and that bo will need a cop of recruiting years to find players that fit the 4-3 d....it's just sad that teams are very mortal this year and we let an opportunity go by this year because our defense is literally the worst I've seen at lsu, probably ever. The lack of reckless abandon on the field is sad for a team who won the title last year. This defense is that bad. Everybody was in the same boat because of covid but are not that bad...Lsu staff seriously dropped the ball on defense this year wth.

I think they took some time to implement a simplified zone scheme with the 1 & 2 deep personnel. We will probably see more of a cover 2 or Tampa 2 from here on out with very limited or situational man coverage concepts. We have got to keep everyone in front of us right now and let the DLine t-off. If an opposing team is only going to field 3 or less WRs we should automatically blitz. Keep the pressure on the OLine so they have to keep a TE in the game and not stretch us out. DBs need to understand that the zone concept sets you up for big hits on crossing routes or inside slants and they need to make the play.
