The problem is we already do use less linebackers. LSU plays more nickel than they have in the past for that reason alone. Jones and Beckwith is all LSU has. Lamar Louis isn't really good, maybe Duke Riley will be one day, he isn't now, Devin Voorhies maybe could be, he is extremely green, Ronnie Fiest saw some PT yesterday but he isn't great either. LSU needs one hell of a linebacker class for 2016. Makes me wonder why Clifton Garrett left.
Again, are you intentially missing where I said "failure to adjust" and specifically talking about "coverage"? When have you seen Henry go deep? Poor tackling. Nothing to do with size. Who asked to fire Steele? I didn't. I pointed out he doesnt adjust in game or out of game. He literally is using the system in place. Why do you ignore this? He is our best DB. Why wouldn't we match up our best with theirs??? Toliver didn't get toasted. the dude grabbed Tolivers facemask for about 10 yards.
I didn't like the Steele hire. I think he sucks. And I would shed no tear if he was shitcanned. LSU can do better than him, much better. He and Peveto can both jump into a bottomless pit.
Personally I don't believe in moving corners around, let them stay on the same side they are accustomed to playing on. Tolliver is still learning and prone to make a few mistakes but I've also seen him in very good coverage on many occasions and believe in him.
IF you teach proper tackling form with is not an issue. Have you seen Henry play? If you all but touch his feet hes going down. The Honey badger, to this day, mops fools up double his size. I think we are stronger in man. We just have to make sure that we have the ability to assign the right guys to their most explosive targets. Which was most frustrating about Chavis, he seemingly always forgot to teach his guys about the RB our of the backfield catching a pass. Well it seems we are either Man coverage or cover 3. Well they use both just about every play. Adams has been the real liability the past few games. Poor angles and out of position. Not sure what is up with him.
