Giving up this play was a tough pill to swallow

Send an all out blitz vs a mobile qb with absolutely no one keeping outside contain ? Frustrating

I think Keys fricked that up, should've bounced outside faster but ran into someone and then was way too unathletic, as usual, to catch the runner/QB.

One of the DLs should've had contain too and got bullied inside or missed their assignment..

Ok with the call. Bad execution.

Yep

We had some good calls that were poorly executed on defense and to Russell's credit, he made us pay.

Want to feel real pain? Go watch Sam Leavitt lowlights. He had open receivers all game on almost all of his negative plays.

He missed a wide open Eugene Wilson when he threw that awful pick, missed an open Winnie multiple times in the redzone trying to force it to Harris. His field awareness was awful. I’m tired of his endless scrambles that lead to nothing he needs to learn to keep his eyes up while moving

Keys is terrible. This is the third game where his play has caused stuff like this to happen.

It felt like after that the rest of the d started to try to do more than their jobs because Keys was doing his.

We need a portal lb for sure

if he cannot go through reads properly at this point it may be time to just take our lumps are start getting longstreet ready. this team aint doing shite this year anyway. zero excuse for a 3rd year qb not knowing how to go through progressions.

Keys sucks. If we get that stop and hold them to a FG that changes the game. We still maintain momentum and aren't playing from behind.

I feel like we have dealt with slow arse linebackers for a few seasons now. Seems like anytime a mobile QB gets the corner, they will get minimum 10-15 yards.

Looking at this play, and where Keys initially went, as someone who wears the green dot, I doubt that he was where he wasn't supposed to be...if executed well, Russell was maybe supposed to have nowhere else to go but up in the pocket where Keys would have met him.

The DE crashed inside and a QB does what he's taught to do there. My guess is 1 was out of position.

I really hate 3rd party film review, because we don't know what the true call was.

Exactly, sometimes the other team has pretty good players and a plan to execute as well.

All that may be true, but Keys looked like he was running in quicksand trying to catch Russell. He is just not athletic enough to be a starting LB at LSU. We've seen evidence of this in coverage all year as well. Stiff and slow.

Keys isn’t fast enough.

The same thing happened on both Auburn touchdown drives.

Keys wasn’t quick enough to get over in the right spot and the qb got away.

Kelon was even worse because he had a hurt ankle and still escaped

As slow as Keys is, he still makes the play if he takes a better angle. You can't be slow AND take bad angles. Just horrible tape on Keys, which has been the story since Whit got hurt.

I’m not a DC, but this seems to be the type of play where Deshaun Spears would’ve helped. Take out keys and use Spears as the faster, more athletic spy. Injuries to he and Weeks definitely hampered us in the UK/Bama losses

Yep he takes terrible angles on top of not being fast enough.

We clearly need to go get better linebackers

Leavett doesn’t seem to be able to go through progressions. If the first guy he looks at isn’t open then he automatically goes to the check down.
Too many open receivers aren’t seen

The 57 yard catch on that drive was the play of the game. LSU had all the momentum and the safety and linebacker stopped running on the play to pick up the WR. I guess some confusion caused that.

Funniest part about all of this is I said after the Weeks injury the coverage and assignment football would be lost with Keys inserted. And I was destroyed by the Rant because "Keys is faster"

Its impossible to know the assignment since we are not in the meeting room but I had the same assumption that Keys was supposed to be there but he wasn't for whatever reason.

Somebody messed up big on communication. I'm guessing it's Keys since he has an oh crap moment when he sees Princewill stunting inside. And then that angle he took is amateur level.
