re: “Should have used a spy” -BK

LSU never went full contain. The ends rushed up the field all night, which is why Milroe was constantly able to step up and escape between the tackles.

You make him escape towards the sidelines with Perkins spying and he has a much more difficult time breaking big runs. Perkins has the speed to track him, and even if he doesn’t get him down he allows his help to crash down and keep Milroe from running wild.

It wasn’t so much not having a spy, it was the ends continually rushing up the field and allowing Milroe to step up and out.

watch power hour

they did all kinds of shite, a lot of it was dumb

they did go full contain, mush rush, spy etc at times

it didnt work

they had the right defense called, somebody fricked up, it didnt work

they had some really dumb shite called, it didnt work

the DEs and Perkins kept rushing wide, going around Milroe and getting behind him. that is totally inexcusable

LSU did a decent job on first and second down then BAMA said what are you going to do on third? ok, we will take what you give us

sometimes what we gave them, we simply couldn’t contain. Millroe just out athleted us.

seriously some of you should watch the power hour, the defense is not what we think. sometimes it is better than we think, often it is much worse than it appears because the call itself is terrible and somebody fromm LSU pulls a play or a tackle out if their arse


clean out the defensive staff, start over, make the most out of what we have, get better players

Are the coaches throwing the games?

Should have blitzed.

Tried it one time for ole miss. It worked and never tried it again.

Tried to blitz bama one time. It worked. Never tried it again.

He just figured out the 4 man containment rush which hasn’t worked all season needed an adjustment?

Is he even bothering to pay attention?

He did a spy a few times early in the game, but then idk what happened from there.

this. Specifically the first drive when we kept him in the pocket and got pressure

I don't get it. It was obvious to everyone on Friday what the game plan should be

there was some spying with perkins early on

they also used penn or speights in the middle to guard the delayed crossing routes and watch milroe

one of the TD runs, penn was staring straight at milroe, the DE got too far up the field, milroe took off and blew right by penn. penn did not stand a chance

in the 2nd half they should have gone back to perkins at the MLB spying milroe, mush rush and try to contain, but they never did

that is all on house and is completely indefensible

Yeah, 4 rushing TD’s later we all realize you should have used a spy on Milroe.

The first time Milroe took off on his jet powered legs.. Fool me once

The second time he blasted off for a TD... Fool me twice

Put a Spy on him.... Don't fool me 3 times.

It took this coaching staff until watching Monday's film to figure it out... Too late!

A spy can be given instructions to rush the QB when he sees an opening. It frees up the Dlinemen to rush without having to be as concerned with gap integrity, which means they should be able to get to him more easily. It doesn't mean that the QB won't sometimes beat the spy, but it gives the defense a better chance.

I'm a big BK fan and think he will get it right, but this may be one of the most obvious coaching misses I can remember.

He's a very average coach. Not much different than Les Miles as far as football knowledge goes in my opinion. Too many "we shoulda dones". You get paid to know what to do. Shouldn't have to fail again and again to figure it out. His strength is managing a team, which is why he has to wait and see if the schemes will actually work.
