Coming from 2010 to 2011, what's made your defense that much better? Which players, specifically, are playing now and how much of an impact do you think their presence has improved your defense? What has changed in terms of scheme?
Thanks.
Thanks.

So you're saying that the talent is relatively the same, you've just been better at getting turnovers?

Chavis's system is fully engrained with players that he recruited for it.
and that swagger stuff all the kids are talking about

Seriously, having Montgomery back is huge. Brockers and Logan have stepped up in the middle.
Another year of seasoning for the DB's who were already good. That sophmore class with Reid, Mathieu, are Tharold Simon are special.

Secondary has been making some huge plays, DL overall better than last year as well. Haven't checked the stats, but certainly seems like more pass rush.

Reid at FS. Brandon Talor did not play last year vs Ark, he is a 3 year starter. Simon (SO) is doing very well at the #3 corner and Brooks (SR) is very good and has outshined Mathieu the last few games. LB play is about the same. DL is better with pash rushers Mingo (SO) and Montgomery (SO) who also didnt play vs Ark last year, due to injury.

Hatcher, right? Who replaced him and why wasn't that player starting last year?

You know that safety #37 that won the game for y'all last year? Well he's not a safety anymore.

the real answer is significantly experienced depth at the front and back end.

defensive line as a whole is a lot more healthier(sam montgomery)-getting much more pressure.
playing smart, not over pursuing, our linebackers have been for the most part been very discipline. takling is better. less busted coverages (understanding of assignments under the chiefs def schemes)

Many of them are more experienced, older, bigger, and stronger.
There are more of them - fatigue is not a factor.
They have stayed healthy for the most part(lost 99 early last year)
Our weakest links(LBs) are more easily hidden by excellent front 4 and secondary.

Hormone enemas and plyometrics that are loosely based on the Kama Sutra, but instead of a lady you use a wheelbarrow of kettlebells.
I also think feeding Sonic Sam like a ball python has really paid dividends in the TFL column.

Okay, cool...
So it seems like it's a variety of things:
Players getting more and more familiar with Chavis' system as they mature.
Better players being back who were hurt.
Taking advantage of turnover opportunities (Likely a byproduct of having those better players back on the field).
Does that seem pretty fair and accurate?

my post answers this.
2 of LSUs most steady players on D last year, Taylor and Sam Montgomery, did not play vs. Ark.
