I figure it definitely keeps them from the last score. Which makes it 15. And we get them off the field on at least 1 of the 4 third downs where he rushed for a first, as well as the 4th down conversion he rushed for.
We score there and we are in the 20s for spread.
Makes me feel better to think about it like that!!!

yes they did.
we as fans tend to overrate our players & coaches..catching vandy early in the season before depth becomes a problem for them does not bode well for a poorly coached lsu that only looks good on paper.

I love to blitz. That being said... any time you blitz someone, someone either goes uncovered, or is less covered, depending on the defense.
A good, confident Qb, and a good PLAYCALLER (like Sarkisian) will KILL you when you blitz. You're just asking for it. Don't blitz out of frustration or regularity, blitz when it's the right thing to do.
Our defense would have performed MUCH better if we would have executed our containment better from the DE's... and if we had run more man-to-man coverage, especially on third downs.
The DE's had a profoundly bad game last night. Wow.

They can't blitz often and effectively because the defensive backfield is so over hyped. Chad Jones looked lost all game.

Not sure of which game you watched but we blitzed plenty.
Washington did a great job of blocking and anticipating where the blitz would come from. I am questioning how good our LBs are regarding blitzing. Are they quick enough or do they have problems shedding/getting past blockers?
Soft zone coverage was more of a killer than blitzing. When you blitz, you play zone, but my point of view is our zone is too soft.
That brings another question: Maybe our DB's can play coverage well, especially in man-to-man coverage. That has to be studied in the next couple of games.
That Washington QB was good and smart plus with size and speed to match. The last thing you want is four DBs in man coverage with their backs to the ball and a fast, big QB takes off on a scramble. THAT is a big yardage gain waiting to happen.

It is just very disappointing to watch that defensive performance last night, after hearing all that crap for 9 months of the offseason about Tonto's great defenses.
Soft
Out of positon
Telegraphed
Read and react
Bend, but only break sometimes..
DL stunts are for pussies. Real men only bull rush.

Our DE's played terrible. If they didn't lose containment so often Washington wouldn't have had near the total yards they ended up with. But give Locker some credit. He made the right reads on blitzes and when we played zone he found the holes.

Gives up big plays, regroups during stretches, big runs, and cant get off the field. WE NEED TO BLITZ MORE

Yeah, and that was against a pretty lousy ULL team. No telling what Grambling will do to Southern....

Gotta love you fricking rantards...you dont even know what you're fricking watching, do you?
do you know what a blitz is?

We don't need to blitz more.
We need to learn, at every position on defense, how to shed blocks & get separation.

Has anyone thought about the fact we played an unknown offense? They had a new great OC, a solid QB, and a pretty good RB with roughly no film. I would say that probably hurt preparation. Then our guys didn't tackle well and either the DEs or OLBs did not do well in contain.
I would expect some confusion because I would expect they really were unsure of the offense they would see on the field. At least in the future they will no more about what they are up against.

Agree 100%
Locker is a headache since he throws pretty well and is fast and mobile (kinda reminded me of Matt Jones). You kind of have to pick your poison when playing against someone like that. We apparently chose to let him get a lot of zone coverage looks (hoping he would not be able to execute through the air) to limit his big run potential. From a strategy standpoint, it worked - I don't recall him breaking any BIG runs, though he gashed us for several short runs for first downs. Sheppard tripped him up on his only chance for a big run up the middle. That was actually kind of funny because the commentator was already starting to announce a big run by Locker "This is why Locker is such a threat ... oh, nevermind."
Maybe Chavis was hoping to get a little more pressure up the middle, forcing more bad throws. Locker WAS pressured on several plays, but unfortunately he maintained his composure and was able to light up the soft zone quite a bit, especially in the first half.
I agree that we blitzed plenty though. Not sure what people think a blitz is supposed to look like. Maybe some people don't recognize that it was a blitz unless the QB gets sacked? Not trying to flame but, come on, I saw plenty of zone blitz.
We will get better on D over the next couple games. Think how Pelini progressed over that time. Everyone chill.
