I see you can’t answer even one of those questions and you can keep making up ratings but all you have to do is put on the tape to see the problem. When you talk about all this talent are you referring to guys who are injured because those guys are either not playing or at about 65% like Lawrence, Logan and Fulton who is higher than 65% but obviously still not himself.

Wow. If you're so f'in smart that you can't be wrong why don't you apply for the job.

We're 6-0. We beat two top 10 teams, one at home and one on the road. In each of those games the defense made critical stops to allow the offense to surge ahead. Seems like we are in pretty good shape right now.

The defense is giving up 18.8ppg that’s not nearly as bad as the panic from fans that it’s produced. Our defense is dealing with a ton of injuries no free safety and problems at MLB so giving up fewer than 19ppg is pretty good given the circumstances and this push for Arandas head is about more than Xs and Os.

With your football IQ, how many game predictions have you sucked at? With that kinda sucking, you should get a porn award! This LSU defense must get better on 3rd downs, on coverage assignments, on pressure at the line, and on tackling. LSU offense A+ LSU defense C-

LSU pressing man and blitzing let the chips fall where they may. But this zone sucks

These DB's don't understand where to cover. I loathe zone blitzing. The point of blitzing is to sack the QB, or pressure into a bad pass, but zone just basically gives up the short pass, so what's the point? Aranda better figure this out before bama. We have guys that can collapse the pocket, just need to cover the receivers long enough so the pass rush can get to the QB.

The adjustments Aranda made in the second half prevented them from scoring, but not from
Moving the ball up and down the field.

our issue with zone blitzing is that our DL have no business in coverage.

If we had more athletic DEs it would work a little better

the most common way teams combat blitzing is to jsut throw the ball where the blitzing player is coming from. Zone blitzes put another player back there. The point is that the QB is going to force the ball thinking they have a open quick throw, and that it isn't open. Or that they go to their first read (the quick throw) see the defender and have to go to read to, which hopfeully gives the blitz enough time ot get to him.
