2019 Football Concerns

[dawgday166]

Too many fans are prisoners of the moment and dont understand the situations people walk into can be vastly different. Plus- sometimes people just see what they want to see. Like Orgeron- if you cant see that he has matured into a solid HC you are an idiot. He has figured out he can be the HC at LSU a long time if he will recruit like Hell and let his Coordinators do their thing. It's showing up on the field now. He is still a meathead moron- but he isnt too dumb to keep making the same mistakes and has figured out to stick to things he is good at- recruiting and motivation

My thoughts almost exactly ... I think the "meathead moron" is funny as hell and I like the guy. I wanna see them win it all this year.

Meanwhile our guy is more interested digging through chapter 47 of the playbook looking for a magic play while the play clock is on 00 and our starting safety just hit a guy 5 feet out of bounds, and we aren't even on defense

Coach you nailed that, the guy figured it out and fell right in that nest of idiots lap. He will win big there, they can get any player in La they ever want, and they have the resources to compete with anyone in the country. They will only get stronger.

Y'all please keep rolling with the wisdom of the Double Naught spy, it's fantastic.

This is Double Naught after listening Rosebowls podcast.

He spent all night searching for dumber posts in this forum's history, but hasn't found any yet. News flash, he won't. Dude is either dumb as hell or just a very bored troll.....at this point it might be the better play for him to just say "gotcha!", and take off running and create a new username.

I'm not generally a fan of 34, but we've been eye to eye on this season, and JoMo, all summer.

And 34 owned a lot of people in this thread.

I'm typically an Ari Gold fan, but even he blew it ITT.

I will admit that our defense is a lot shittier than I thought. I probably gave too much credit to Shoop. I believed the Cole hype along with the hype of Rivers. I thought we could scheme around some of the deficiencies at DT but I think we miss the player leadership a lot.

If we're being honest, it's worse than I thought too. I thought it would be in the 25 to 50 range, but that's a dream at this point. I knew the pass rush would be bad, but I didn't think the run defense and tackling would be non-existent.

We miss Willie Gays leadership on the field more than anything. Heard from several defensive players this weekend that he makes things run on D and that we just don't have anyone else right now to fill his leadership void. Erroll Thompson is well respected and looked up to but just not the alpha that Wille is and that Simmons and Abrams were.

And that's why with Gay in against Tennessee it will look like a completely different animal.

And unfortunately we can't gamble with the 3 games he has left. He has to play against UT and UM and very well might have to play against Ark. It would depend on what they look like as a team at that time. Ark probably should have beaten A&M. If they are getting it together then you need to keep Gay back for that game instead of playing him at A&M. We can afford to lose A&M but not Ark.

Yep. Gotta agree with you here.

Yep Ut arky and unm are all must wins. We have to get those games. No margin for error.

The good thing is at least the A&M game is the week before the Arkansas game.

I forgot about this thread....Yes, I tried my best to explain to this board that you will have a drop off after losing three first rounders but some people have to see it to believe it. Pretty easy to see now....

[HoopsDawg]

It's just hard to brush over the fact that 3 of our 4 on the 2 deep at DT haven't played a meaningful snap. 2 redshirt freshmen, and 1 guy who was a center last year. I think everyone can agree we will take a step back at DT, but will it be a disaster? I don't know, but it could be.

Damn I'm good. Why does anyone ever disagree with me?

I personally thought we would drop from #1 to #25-30 but we would still be good. I bought into the hype of Rivers being just a little behind Sweat (Rivers is just showing as an average DE) and Cole (he is good but we miss Abram's brain as much as everything else). Then losing Autry and Gay is just more than this defense could take. Leo is at best an average LB and Errol has taken a step back to close to average but still a little above.

I also gave too much credit to Shoop in that I thought he could scheme around some of the issues but we haven't done too well with that. Dantzler and Smitherman have been good but not great and we have actually played Jarrian Jones and Emerson more than I would have thought 2 freshmen should be in the game. Dantzler being banged up some has not helped matters.
