re: Perkins comments at the weekly presser

That's a marginal difference. But yeah, gains and improvement. That's the goal in these scenarios. But you also don't want to go overboard on the gains if your game is speed and quickness.
Arden Key was the quickest LSU DE I had ever seen in 2016. Then it was too much too fast, and he wasn't the same player. That was extreme. But the point is, Perkins can be an elite rusher now, and gain and improve over time, as HR did.

Get Nuss in there as the starter and we are set.

Perkins was at 205 in his senior year. He doesn’t have a big frame. He’s a narrow body

he did. their whole gameplan was short passes screens and draws.
people see what they want to see I suppose.

do you think they didn’t co aider him when they made the gameplan?

We saw the same thing. a gameplan designed to neutralize and take advantage of our pass rush.
Perkins being our best pass rusher.

people say stuff like this and the really mean “we should only pass rush him”
He's literally only been a positive as an edge-spy combo.
In a more traditional role, he's been a negative player not above replacement-level

Is this some new position?
Off Ball LB.

That or playing OBLB

. That will never happen by him just lining up on the edge and rushing every time. They know they have that if all else fails.
He clearly needs to learn how to play edge, if that's his final spot.

I guess weak side LB is the same as off ball LB?
Posted on 9/12/23 at 12:32 pm to tigerfoot
so they didn’t consider our best player on defense when making their gameplan?
you believe that?
ok. sure

Like I said, the move may be him bulking up and player Jack linebacker

What was odd about the FSU game was that it was almost exclusively a spy position. He isn't big enough to be a linebacker to stop the run, but I think other facets of an MLB he could be good at, such as picking up the RB out of the backfield, backside pursuit, but I'm not sure on his coverage skills for a TE.
An MLB has so many responsibilities and has to make decisions instantly based on what he sees the offense is doing and what the defense has called. If you haven't done this, that is a tall task. He is used to just going after QB's.

The biggest part of MLB is really knowing how defense works and being able to dissect the offense. Perkins still has some time before he gets that but you can’t rely on athleticism. For OLB, it’s more just let you be an athlete in open space rather than taking lineman blocking down on you or dropping back into coverage.
Let him exceed and show his athleticism. NFL will prioritize this rather than him being eaten up by line man or getting lost in coverage

At least the coaches realized they mistake quickly and made the move. I wish they would have noticed after one half of Fla St game it wasn't working. I know some other coaches with massive stubborn egos, who won't have admitted their mistake so quickly

LSU is doing a terrible job at trying to isolate Perkins in pressuring the QB. He is simply running straight ahead into a blocker and is getting blocked most of the time. This is no way to use a talented rusher like Perkins, but that is the way all our defenders rush.
It is like they have never seen or heard of stunts, or rushing off the back side of a tackle or DE, where the lineman has to make a decision or gets pulled out of the way to make room for the blitzer to get a direct run at the QB. No loop around to find a rush hole...nothing to free Perkins to use his speed in a gap. This is why I am so down on or D coaches. Zero imagination ...just the same plodding into a olineman and trying to beat him before a pass is thrown. We have seen how that works out....DE's have zero sacks that I have seen, Perkins has zero sacks that I have seen, and 99% of the time the has ample time to find a receiver running open against our deep zone. What a gift to the opposing QB's.
If something doesn't seriously change starting this week, LSU will only win games in high scoring shootouts. I'm not sure we are capable of winning all of those.

I agree Pahnew. Glad they realize this, I hate that it took an FSU loss to come to that conclusion. Was he really impressive in practice to warrant this new position against FSU.
Did people see this move to MLB before it the season started. I didn't remember hearing about it.

If he wants a passing and running threat QB, then he needs to find a replacement.
Somehow a rant myth that Brian Kelly is hardheaded and doesn’t change things
