re: I see some positives with the new defense.

I don't feel like it's scheme but a few people who haven't been coached up enough or who shouldn't see the field or are having to play out of position.
18 Clark shouldn't be on the field ever. He's a liability and a huge reason why we have been gashed on about every large run.
7 Stevens should be playing LB instead of Safety. But he's kind of neither (Athlete). They NEED him at LB because our LB's are the weakest I've ever seen.
19 Cox has potential, but is having to try and play 2 LB positions that the same time due to Clark being out of position every play. I feel like if left to just doing HIS job, he will excel and become a decent SEC LB.
Safeties need help bad and Jacoby ain't the help.
LB and safety play isn't SEC caliber, much less LSU caliber. It's odd that we are so weak at those 2 position groups considering our history of the studs who have played here. Interior line has been a disappointment also.
Ricks, Ojulari, Stingley, Gaye (pass not rushing) have played lights out. Look at the turnovers and sacks and you'll see those 4. But 4 people don't make a defense.
Edited to clear something up: I think this is 100% on Bo. It's his job to coach and play these guys. IF the best team personnel wise is out there, then he's going to have to change the scheme to match the lack of talent in the middle with the LB's and Safeties. Not sure how you can make that up on scheme but I'm also not taking a paycheck to do it either.
