re: Welter did not miss his assignment.

Clearly Deion Jones missed the assignment to cover QB on TD run. It is man to man coverage on play with Welter covering running back. The coaches know that Welter is not Lightning quick so they put him on covering the man that would be the slowest to get started. Welter does spend time at the beginning of plays making sure players are in their correct locations, so he has a leadership position.

Clearly you have never watched film before.

If you review the play you'll see that LSU is lined up in what resembles a 4-3 under with a single-high safety. Lamar Louis (the Sam linebacker) is down on the line of scrimmage on the defensive left side, DJ Welter (the Mike linebacker) is positioned behind the front four and between the tackles, and Deion Jones (the Will linebacker) is positioned outside towards the defensive right side.

New Mexico State came out shotgun trips left (three wide receivers positioned on the left side of the field) and a single tightend positioned next to the right tackle.

Louis was down on the line in order to match with the tightend. Jalen Mills was also inside the box to assist in stopping the run.

Meanwhile, the corners were set in press coverage against the far flanker and the middle receiver. Ronald Martin was playing zone around 12 yards off the line in order to protect anything deep.

The confusion with the OP is that he believes that Jones was responsible for the quarterback in the event that he kept the ball on the zone read. However, Jones was lined up against the slot receiver (as evident by him breaking right as the receiver headed towards the left flat). Therefore, LSU was evidently in man coverage with the three wideouts.

Welter bit hard on the fake to the tailback and crashed down on the line which allowed the quarterback to break through to the second level uncontested (very similar to several of the plays against Mississippi State). Mills followed the tailback and consequently drifted left as the quarterback broke past the line.

Martin's lack of athleticism and straight-line speed made it impossible for him to recover on the play once Allen hit full acceleration into the secondary.

In conclusion, Welter was indeed responsible for the missed assignment as a result of not staying at home in the defensive middle.

It looks like he's picking out a blocker to engage.

Clearly you can't read, with your smart arse remark, if you see the my original post, this came from Tiger Track Film room and they diagnose the play this way. If you look at the play, debo vacated his area which allow the quarterback to have a clear read on the option to run the ball since debo took the bait/bit hard on the receiver moving toward the sideline.

Bottom Line

Welter isn't good enough to play linebacker in the SEC. I'm not a Welter hater but he's out of position almost every single play.

We need to be stronger at that position

I'm just sad that they have been charting this for only 1 game..

First off jackass, if you will note I did not reply to any of your posts. In fact, I was addressing the OP.

I wasn't about to read through every single post in a four-page thread on D.J. Welter's inability to play Mike linebacker. People have been saying the same bullshite now for two years. I've heard it all.

But you had to get your panties in a bunch just because I made mention of the word "film" and therefore you took it as a direct remark/insult to your previous post/s.

Should that name mean anything to me? Because I'm going to tell you right now that it does not.

Secondly, it's not like I said anything that drastically differed from what you were trying to get across.

However, I disagree with the original statement that Jones, in addition to Welter, was responsible for vacating the middle. It is Welter's job to force the quarterback back to the defensive left where there is help from the underneath safety and the Sam linebacker. He crept up on the fake hand-off exchange and was out of position to see that Allen had kept the ball.

Also, the quarterback is reading the right defensive end, not the linebacker on the zone-read. The entire zone-read decision is predicated on the path of the defensive end. If the defensive end heads inside in pursuit of the tailback then the quarterback knows to keep the ball and head outside.

please tell me this is joke. Welter is not an sec talent an should have never been in that situation to begin with. He clearly ran right into 3 blockers instead of attacking the hole 4 feet wide to his right. He single handedly gave up that touchdown/
