[quote]Well, we only scored 23 against Auburn. [/quote] We also had more first downs than points, which is truly a rarity. We drove the field up until the 10 yard line, where our playcalling went haywire. We should have scored far more. ...

[quote]I mean I haven't even witnessed the lsu defense playing "pissed off" in any aranda coached game..I mean , can aranda even piss his players off ? Can he get them up for a game? Can any of them play angry or with a chip on their shoulders? Are they all "soft"?....one complete game where the def...

[quote]It does look like they are focusing on DL recruits if you look at this years class [/quote] Yeah we need it. We've also had a lot of attrition from players who did actually enroll between 2014 and now too. We have to do a better job targeting players, getting them here, and keeping them h...

[quote]The roster coming into 2019 certainly didn’t lack depth [/quote] I'd argue the DL did lack depth. We haven't had a super great DL since 2012, arguably. We haven't had 30 sacks in a season since 2012 at least, and we certainly don't have the DL rotation that we did between 2005 to 2012. We...

It wasn't a great performance, but Aranda shouldn't be held responsible for points he didn't give up. ...

[quote]vandy scored 38.[/quote] Vandy scored 24 on offense. Vandy scored 2 defensive touchdowns. ...

[quote]reminds me of all the games the D bailed out miles' offense.[/quote] Before this year, how many times did the D bail out the offense, under both Miles and Orgeron? Aranda's downward trend really began with the A&M game, as we've given up 27 points per game since the A&M game last year....

[quote]Well i guess lsu is gonna live and die by coach o sticking with aranda....we having a great year overall since 2011...but defensively the output has been crippled since aranda has been at lsu...you cannot run that scheme and play good much less great on defense in the sec and it's been proven...

[quote]Somethings not right with Delpit. Don’t know if it’s his injury nagging him, he’s tentative because he’s afraid of reinjuring it, he’s tentative because he’s thinking of his draft stock, but he’s not the same. [/quote] Before this game, he was generally in the right position to make ...

I've said this elsewhere, but we aren't nearly as deep on this D as we were during other years. We've lost a lot of players to transfers the last two years, and we seem hesitant to use freshman other than Stingley. Flott only just emerged, and Brooks is used situationally. The LB play hasn't bee...

[quote]was Brooks in last night when Plumlee was running wild? [/quote] No. He was in later in the game when we made a few stops. ...

[quote]played with reckless abandon. zero gap control or discipline [/quote] I also don't think we were prepared for the zone read or that counter play that Ole Miss runs. The counter was remarkably effective, as it used the aggressiveness of the LBs and the safeties against them. ...

[quote]The defense plays overall fine in the first half of games The 2nd half is a different story (except UF) [/quote] Even in the first half of UF, Florida was bailed out on some drives by penalties, and two dropped interceptions. I just don't think we were prepared for the zone read,...

[quote]And it never looked as bad as the defense looks now. [/quote] Not true. We were generally overly reliant on great running backs. We sucked at pretty much everything else. The D hasn't reached that level yet. ...

Maybe he realizes that we aren't as deep as we think we are? How many transfers have we had from the D this year? Kendall McCallum, Netherly, Joseph and Jones from the D alone, not to mention Cotton, Livingston, and Scott last year. Losing Ed Alexander last year only for him to go undrafted also hur...

[quote]There are none with this D. We have experienced 4 and 5* talent all over the field. [/quote] I don't know. We haven't had anyone step in to replace Devin White, the DL is still thin, and the transfers really affected how deep the secondary is, not to mention injuries. We only go six deep ...

[quote]Just being honest. That's how I see it. [/quote] You don't have any special perceptive ability that should elevate your perception of events into something note-worthy, or even worthy of a thread. It can be your opinion and still be idiotic. ...

I'm happy with the emergence of Brooks and Flott. Both need to gain weight though. Brooks has speed that we lack, as even Stevens and Delpit seem slower this year. Why did McCallum leave too? ...

I don't know why our DL seems thinner than ever. ...

2008, 2013, and 2015 weren't superb defenses. This defense reminds me of 2013's a lot, in that they were missing a player in the middle to really run things. Beckwith eventually stepped up but we need that player right now. ...
