This was Perkins mistake. He should have gone inside of Swinson with Swinson holding the edge. Your point about it doing too much is correct but in this case Perkins should have gone inside of Swinson and it would have resulted in a sack.

I have no words for this one boss.

You posted this

His job is to occupty the offensive tackle inside and prevent them from being in position to pick up the defensive tackle wrapping around

It looks like he has the tackle occupied to me. The tackle has inside leverage and just out muscles him and is able to push him back into Perk. The offensive tackle didn't "pick up" the defensive tackle in this case which you are saying is Perk.

The guy that does the power hour film reviews went into detail on this play to explain it.

Which one do you think is easier to do? Be an engaged defender and trying to figure out which shoulder of the lineman to be on or being a free rusher on a stunt and be able to see where the open rush lane is?

That’s his whole job. Inside shoulder. Stay engaged

He’s trying to do too much. If he does his job it’s a sack. He tried “hard to make a play” and lost contain.

Here is the play live (1:22 mark). Swinson's first move is inside. He's still continuing to work inside as Perkins comes around him. Then it look like the LT drives him outside. Not completely that Swinson chose to to that route. Credit the LT for a good block.

But also watch Smith on the play. Contrary to popular belief, he's not actually getting double-teamed on the play (at least initially). He's getting completely blown out of the play by the LG immediately upon the snap. Then when Jefferson sees the lane in front of him watch Smith's effort (or lack thereof). Yes, he was getting double teamed at that point. But he shows no fight. HE was the one who was blown out of the play to create the lane up the middle.

Also not the time of game, 11:38 in the FIRST QUARTER and he already looks exhausted.

I mean yeah, I saw the play live. That’s kind of why I posted 5 screenshots of it.

Look at his legs and his hands. He’s still driving upfield and trying to get to the QB.

LSU's "all world" DT is getting blown out of the play

look, we all agree he's not playing up to his previous capabilities but they literally blocked him with three guys on that play. wtf do you want?

quote:

Seems like the defensive line is all about it the player and not teamwork/working as a unit. Swinson needs to hold strong and take away the inside running lane for Jefferson.

---

A lot of that may be due to them losing their position coach less than 30 days before the season. I still have hope we can clean it up. We have some dominant dudes up front.

We can agree to disagree. But what is he supposed to do? Just stop? He was working inside until to give Perkins a lane until the the LT turned him and blew him out of there. Really, I think this was just a good play by the LT to blow up what could have been a good play by LSU.

Moral of the story is that we have a bunch of transfers that don’t quite trust each other to cover their own responsibilities. Everyone is trying to cover someone else’s job when they don’t need to. Hopefully they start to play together and it clicks for them over the next couple weeks.

Note the downfield coverage. Nobody open. Sam in position to make a play after KJ got out the pocket. This is a great call by House and he should be off the field. Instead Swinson got greedy, Sam missed the open field tackle and Arkansas converts on 3rd and long.

This is the big thing that happens when QBs can extend plays. It's hard to keep guys covered for long periods of time; what people don't seem to realize is that these plays are timed and somewhat predictable, and when a QB scrambles everyone is improvising to get open, cover people, block people, etc. That's why people end up open.

Those 4-5 "almost sacks" were 100% correlated with guys being wide open downfield due to breakdowns both offensively and defensively. Those sacks may well have been the difference between 34-31 and 48-17.
