Derby at his finest again.

I think its a matter of just too much workload for these guy. Like I've said, they are good position coaches but they can't handle the extra baggage at DC. I seem to remember us having a pretty dominant secondary the past few years, as well as solid LB play. Both of which positions they coached. Last year kinda slid a bit because of injuries but they still did a good job.

I just think Derby roots for LSU LBs to play bad because he sure was all over that topic before the season started

Historically, LSU has zero-tolerance for crappy defense. Expect these guys to follow the path of Tepper/Dinardo, Archer, Stovall. All were given the quick boot for bad defense(except tepper, but took Gerry D down with him). Hallman hung around longer because Phil Bennett had a respectable defense. Crowton is the only reason we are not 0-5 in SEC play.

Levee you have a good point but answer me this, why is the same players from last year not playing consistently too? The entire defense is playing bad right now. Curtis Taylor is blowing coverages all season and hes a senior. I don't remember him doing that much from last year. Don't you think that lies on coaching because of "discipline"?

Do you seriously want to take a chance at another year with these guys at DC? We're not a Ole Miss program. They got their chance, they haven't done a good job, time to move on if things don't improve through the season. LSU's pride and tradition has always been their defense, you're on a short string when you're coaching our defense...

He blamed the defensive problems on the players not playing consistently.

wow, I kind of lost a little respect for Miles in doing that.

I know a starting player on defense and he told me horror stories about the d-coordinators:

a) they didn't decide how to approach the Tebow-Florida offense even by the Friday before the game

b) those blitzes you saw in the South Carolina game, the players came up w/ those the Wed. before the game

c) Chad Jones is not being played due to Mallory's loyalty to Coleman, he was the one that recruited him

d) he [the starting player I spoke with] cannot figure out why Patrick Peterson has just started getting playing time, he should be starting and playing all game now.

We would have to know each players responsibility on each play and see how well they performed. If each assignment was played correctly and the scheme failed, then the RANTards would be correct.

Who among you have sat through the film sessions on each player?

..or a guy on another team being much much faster..yeah that "Coaching" on this board.

What players are you referring to? Whose faster?

Are you alluding to the play where one of our safeties was covering their WR? Because that is a mismatch that offensive coordinators shouldn't be able to generate at will. And yet they have done just that repeatedly this season against LSU. Once again, on Saturday, UGA merely had to move their WR to the slot in order to create that mismatch time and time again. Once again, Mallory and Peveto made no effective personnel or scheme changes.

That's a COACHING error.

Or are you talking about the play where Jai got beat deep in one on one coverage? If so, Jai stumbled on that play, so I am dubious of your speed claim. Second of all, that play occured on an LSU blitz. The entire point of a blitz on long passing downs is to get to the QB BEFORE the deep route has time to develop. No corner will survive on an island for long. Unfortunately, LSU's blitzes are so transparent and telegraphed, so late and poorly timed, that an offensive line composed of septegenarians could pick them up. The QB remains unmolested and has plenty of time to casually abuse our CB's.

Or maybe you are referring to the long play where two members of our secondary both covered the same underneath route, leaving an UGA receiver completely alone to trot thirty yards down the sideline. That sort of confusion is symptomatic of poor instruction in practice and poor coaching.

In any event, I have no idea what your vague "speed" post was a reference to, but it's pretty clear that you don't understand how those apparent speed mistmatches are a function of playcalling and scheme in a great number of instances.

I wouldn't mind seeing them stay as position coaches like they were

Who was responsible for the LB's last year? If it was one of them, they MUST GO. Our LB's have been lost for a long time.

Peveo ino longer coaches special teams at LSU.

And ST play is head and shoulders above what it was last year. Mere coincidence?

Nope. And most of it came on that 68 yarder when C.Taylor missed his tackle.

he was averaging 10+ YARDS per carry WELL INTO the game... go back and watch it again
