...so far this year is in the secondary and that surprises me. I am curious as what y'all think about this observation.


Scoop, I think it's amazing what a year makes. I think last year we had the CB's and Safeties to utilize the Blitz more often, yet we were content with sending four down linemen.

This year we have blitzed probably more than we did all last year combined and we've put some young CB's on an island too often which is usually when we've given up the big plays.

LSU's defensive backfield scares me. I would have thought any flaws would have been corrected by now, I know missing the Troy game hurt but I am having Lou Tepper flashbacks, when no lead was sacred. Too many big plays. Even RB's of Moo U avgd. 3.5 yards a carry. We gave Moo U hope their lee could be special and made Todd look all SEC. It's not just the inexperience, something isn't right with the system. When you give up big plays, one person doesn't mess up, two are out of place.

Am a bit worried. Sure by seasons end it will be fixed, but every week I think it's going to be fixed......

What games have you been watching? We have hardly blitzed at all and our corners have done a fine job.
