Watching phillips and queen against the higher ranked teams seems to have similar outcomes.Phillips just seems slow and is not very good in coverage. Queen is fast but doesnt seem to be instinctive. When they brought in D. clark he looked slower than phillips. It seems like stevens and delphit are stepping up their games at the safety positions but the lb corp still seems to have alot of work to do. Other than that it seems the db's and dline are improving. Of course no complaints on Offense. Bring on the downvotes

If our STUD linebackers are the weakest link on the team I’ll take it. Boys can play.

The Nickel position is the weakest link on the team right now followed by RT.

Welp the LBs are not Devin White. It does not appear that they are missing gaps. So a little better.

Still not good in coverage. The Bama short routs now have a stop and reverse feature to them.. it works because they have so. UCB time to throw. Gets them a lot of yards after catch

You people are impossible. The other teams put athletes on the field also. Your comparison between The safety vs. LB’s speed is exactly why they play the positions they play. The defense played well yesterday let it go!

No.

We need to blitz more, a lot more, with a relentless intent on effecting the QB.

with as many plays as opposing offenses have run against lsu's defense this year to have your starting MLB and OLB have maybe 6 or 7 tackles a game says alot. If you go back and watch the games against : texas, florida and MSU 80% of the tackles they make are 7 yards or longer down the field. add in big pass plays to te/rb's. Hoping to see some improvement but its almost 7 games into the season andmost of these guys have been at LSU over 3 years

I think our LBs are fine.
Our D line is my concern. You have effect the quarterback. You don’t have to sack him but you have to rush his decisions and effect his throws by collapsing the pocket.

Vincent is terrible, and has to go. He can't cover or tackle.
