    Exactly! This year's scheme is the same as Bo Pelini's. Rush 4 and drop 7 every single phucking time, with ABSOLUTELY no pressure on the QB.

    That first TD tebow threw, he had ALL DAY to throw that pass. He could have grilled him a steak before throwing the ball. And yea, dipsh!t Mcray should have knocked that down.

    And with no pressure on the QB, no turnovers happen either. With no sacks or turnovers, you can't beat a team like Florida on the road.

    And i don't wanna hear that crap about since Saban is gone, we don't have good players on D anymore. We have just as good a players on D now than we ever have. Its just this scheme absolutely sucks. If Saban would have used this scheme back in 03, we would not have even come close to winning the NC that year. Last year LSU won because it was the best offense LSU has ever put on the field.

    With the speed LSU has, they need to be an attacking style defense. Not this zone bullsh!t they run. I just hope Miles realizes this and gets a real D coordinator.

    I wasn't in favor of the co D coordinator when it was announced and although we're just approaching the half way point of the season, it is apparent to me Les needs to scrap it at the end of the season.

    Two in charge equal no one in charge.

    Granted, we lost a lot from last years D, but not enough in my mind to go from the penthouse to the outhouse in one season.

    If you believe the recruiting gurus we have the athletes so it has to be the scheme/coaching, correct??

    I'm not defending the defense here, nor McCray, for all I know he was out of position - but go back and look at that play again. McCray went WAY up high to get a hand on that ball. 9 times out of ten after being tipped, that ball would've hit the ground. Didn't go that way last night.

    The way I saw it, everything the Gators touched turned to gold.

    Everything the Tigers touched turned to...well, fertilizer.

    first off, we gave them 70 yards with that tip. secondly, even when pelini was here we had trouble with really elusive RB's. it's one game. we weren't prepared and florida was ready for this game. they were firing on all cylinders. the opportunity to play these guys in atlanta is still very real.

    Pelini was'nt ever that aggressive in my mind and these two co dc's are just basically running the same stuff.
    Personally I think Miles blew it when he could have went outside the program and hired a proven dc instead of promoting from within.
