Defensive strategy against Alabama if Tua plays
Posted on 10/27/19 at 5:40 pm

What do you think is the best approach? Personally, I would bring pressure early and often and jam their receivers at the line all day. Disrupt those timing throws and make Tua run around on that bad ankle and take some hits.

Zone. Clemson showed this last year.
If we go man, their receivers will beat us. They are as good as advertised

Yes.
That is the reason that we have been "practicing zone" in other games this year.
Because we need it for Bama and the CFP.

I would agree, but LSU’s DL can’t get consistent pressure the way Clemson’s did last year.

I don't think zone is our best option. It hasn't worked well this year against lesser teams than Alabama, so I think we have to trust our corners. Remember, our corners are as good as advertised, as well.
We'll give up some plays, but that's just the way it is. They are going to have the same problem with our offense, and frankly, LSU has shown more balance on offense than Alabama for the last 5 games. That makes us less predictable and less likely to turn it over.
So LSU going man to man could lead to a pick from a guy like Stingley, and that might be the difference in the game.
If we go zone, our defense will bleed to death like it did at Texas, only worse, imo. We just don't generate much of a rush with our front four.

I’ve been waiting till we got through our schedule to post this. But IF Tua plays...and I expect him to play...we need to
Mix zone and man calls. On the zone coverages you need to disguise the actual coverage and bracket the single WR. In man coverage you need to take away the inside slants on the RPO plays on the single WR and inside WR on 11 personnel sets. That means wall him off completely at the snap.
Force the low percentage throws and hope you give enough funny reads to make up pull down the football and throw the low percentage 1v1 balls.
One RPO killer is to scout where they throw it (ex: to the backs side because he’s crossing he Quarterback’s face and blitz the apex defender that Tua is reading. When you do that you need to have the next inside backer flow fast to the slant and knock his dick in the dirt or pick it off. You can only do this if your line is handling the run game in the middle.
Another way to do this ^^^^ if you don’t want to sacrifice the inside backers from the run game is to jump it with a safety.

Gotta be able to run both man and zone and disguise the coverage against Tua so he is forced to hold the ball and make reads. If he knows where he’s going with the ball every play we have no chance of slowing that offense down. At the same time you have to get home fast with pressure/stop the run to get them off schedule on 2nd and 3rd down.

The only answer from every rant poster ever is to bring pressure in man to man

Make him run around. They can sugar coat it all they want, a high ankle sprain is a high ankle sprain. Being "blocked into him" a couple of times wouldnt hurt either.

It sure shite on Miss St.
Auburn didn't have much success either.

Man will eventually get you beat. They will start running tight formations and force you into zone or run drags and fricking kill you.

Force Tua out the pocket early in the game by sending pressure up the middle. let’s see how good that ankle really is. mix and match zones and blitzes seems like the only way to keep their quick passing game off balance. switching on crossing routes can really throw them off rhythm, but that’s tough to do consistently for college DBs. a lot of it is winning 1 on 1’s which you just can’t do every play, so limiting big plays will be key. holding them under 28 is a job well done by the defense.

Who said we were playing zone against them? Maybe a little, but not close to the extent of how we did against Texas.

It's fine to run zone here and there. I'm suggesting it's a bad idea to run it almost exclusively. We don't have the pass rush to stop them from just dinking and dunking all the way down the field.
Running a man to man does not give a QB the ability to know where he's going with the football on every play. If you cover the receivers, who does he throw to? And I know that won't be easy, but my point is I believe it's better to give your corners a chance to make plays than for them to sit back and get picked apart like they did at Texas.
Throwing in a zone here and there is one thing.

Aranda has always done his job. Offense has done nothing.
Posted on 10/27/19 at 6:26 pm to dukee7
We aren’t going to play just zone or just man. We are trying to disguise it and fool tua.

Dave is more patient than I.

Jam and pressure. Hopefully we can do 1 or the other. If both he has the worse game of his career.

Sack him often
