Chambliss was very inaccurate when the first option wasn’t there or timing disrupted.


I’d much rather we had played tighter coverage and contain him other ways.

Maybe they didn’t trust pj in man? Dj Pickett is literally one of the best press corners in the country makes zero sense to not trust him in man coverage

Answer: we don’t have anyone close to a Greedy Williams, Patrick P, or a D Stingley. CB is the toughest position to play outside of QB. Great CB’s are akin to .300 hitters in baseball — you still miss/whiff/insert word 60-70 percent of the time. In man coverage, this also holds true. But when you don’t have the ability to even have .300 hitters, you can’t play man. Hardly ever. So, you lineup to where you can’t be burned. All the while, you are hoping the front 6-7 can’t add enough pressure and you can get a poorly thrown ball and/or tipped ball. See Auburn 2019 D Stingley end zone pick right before halftime . We don’t have a corner who can play man with a WR from scrimmage to 50 yards downfield like DS could


This is utter bullshite we have DJ Pickett !! A 6’4 corner with 4.3 speed and can change directions on a dime he absolutely can matchup with elite receivers on an island he most likely will be a top 20 pick next year. Couldn’t disageee more he’s literally a preseason all sec 2nd team selection at corner

I think going into the game the plan was to force Chambliss into short throws and make Miss sustain long drives against our defense. However, it became apparent during the game that Chambliss was much less accurate throwing the ball down field. Baker gets paid and knows a lot more than me but LSU probably should have taken away the short throws and forced Chambliss to beat us down field.
