You All Can Talk About Defensive Talent Issues, But That's Just Fake News...

then bring on another high 4* or 5* guy.

Like who.... talent drops way off when he goes off the field.

Hell, people have been roasting Kary Vincent all year and look what the pass coverage looked like when he wasnt on the field.

I think all this has to do more with our defense being gassed in the 2nd half of games because if how many possessions they have to be on the field. The spread game is tiresome. Thank God we have Joe!

ON scored 16 pts in 2 possessions (4 plays) at the beginning of the 3rd qtr

No reason for them to be gassed coming out of halftime and give up scores that fast. Late in the 3rd and into the 4th, yes, but not coming out of halftime.

Lawrence, Fehoko, and Chaisson were all 5-star recruits on Scout and Shelvin was a 5-star on Rivals. So either they aren't living up to their billing and were overrated or there are some coaching issues.

How can you be gassed and unprepared starting the second half??

There are some real holes in the defense. Choose to look or not. Your choice. Aranda is a very good coach. We will be better next year defensive stats are skewed because we score so quick

We had lots of Miles apologists blaming talent for our lousy offensive performance. It wasn’t talent, it was coaching, as we now see.

Same for our defense. LSU has plenty of talent, certainly more than Ole Miss. Talent has never been LSU’s problem. It all starts and ends with coaching in football.

Delpit is just all kinda messed up this year. Started really bad then started coming around mid season and then was putrid against bama and ole miss. The last two years he was one of the surest tacklers I'd ever seen, his rugby style tackle and roll would get em every time. This year he's completely whiffing on people and last night his angles were terribly off. I don't know what to say about it but he's not right.

Delpit rolled his ankle pretty badly two games ago. Did everyone forget this? He looks just slightly better than Tua pre second injury out there right now. He needs to sit the Arkansas game for his own good.

Then a 60% Delpiut needs to sit out.

Who else can we insert at S?

The one negative thing I can come up with abt O is the lack of depth on defense that has been there since he took over. There is a big dropoff after the starters and honestly, Shelvin and sometimes Lawrence are abt it on the DL. Which is Orgeron's speciality. We have had depth issues on the DL since 2015 and it still isnt fixed. The 2018 class isnt going to help much. Unless he gets some Juco guys in there, next season the D is going to struggle. I think Shelvin is gone as well as Delpit and Fulton, of course. Not sure abt Chaisson, but unless Divinity comes back, quality depth is going to still be a problem. And we will be young in key spots.
