re: Paris Shand was listed at 6'5" 280lbs last year. Are there plans to move him inside

[quote]He would need to put on at least 20 pounds to play nose. More like 40[/quote] I think we are switching to a 4-2-5 so a true 320-330lb NT won’t be necessary. If I’m not mistaken, they usually lean to more of a 290 - 300 lb guy that can move and stunt....

[quote]He doesn't suck. He's a very good player, but he's the 6th best of 7 DB's in our signing class. That probably makes him a first year starter at LSU. We're going to miss the depth, though.[/quote] Let’s revisit that depth next fall ...

I liked Wade, more importantly I liked the excitement around the program. I admit that last year, I thought this coach was in over his head, but I am really glad I was wrong and hope I continue to be wrong. I just want to see a jam packed arena, with a loud crowd and a team that has a chance to ...

Thanks for the great info. Do you have any info on the other candidates? In the write up about Baker’s 4-2-5 Defense, I noticed the author mentioned, the aggressive style may lead to some big plays. It seems like playing our passive style this year gave up more big plays, I have never seen so man...

He isn’t connected to the players. Can’t change his scheme based on the talent he has available. Can’t adjust to what offenses are doing to make big plays (still has slow safeties trying to cover the best WR, all an offense has to do is motion a guy from the outside to slot and it’s an instant mis...

re: Watched the game with an NFL scout yesterday

Posted by d2 on 1/2/24 at 2:00 pm

The middle of the Defense was really bad and that is hard to hide. The linebackers showed little improvement (House position). The safeties were horrible most of the year, with no progress. I can’t think of another team that played so soft on coverage, yet gave up so many big plays. When we fina...
