I’m surprised with the Durham injury we’ve seen barely any Kaleb Jackson snaps, especially on 3rd downs and short yardage
Geaux! Cayden Durham! 🎉
Thx for the SUPERB content, Matt. Eventually, your show will get the respect it deserves. Why hasn’t happened now? I have no effing idea.
Let's go Tigers!
Let me translate: If Brian Kelly was as good at hiring assistant coaches as we were told to believe he was, LSU would have won a National Championship last year instead of wasting Jayden Daniels time at LSU.
Our defense, despite it being close and coufhing up nearly 30 pts., won my heart vs ole miss.
I think i speak for all LSU fans under 45 man, especially towards our elders (WE LOVE U!!)
Oldheads, quit the negativity this isnt the BCS era.
We need to be GOOD ENOUGH to BEAT ANYONE on ANY GIVEN NIGHT to win a championship.
🎉
Were not gonna field the 2003.defense this year. Cmon yall!!
I think of Jim Mora every time I see Coaches pass on field goals especially early in the game and I know he’s thinking wth are you doing lol you have to have been around back then and listen to his press conferences to really know what I’m talking about, you don’t pass up points and you essentially don’t pass them up early, you see them pass up points in the first quarter now , you never saw that back then smh and it always seems to bite them at the end of games smh don’t make a lot of sense
Love seeing Sloan settle in. He is making adjustments the calls are coming in smoothly unlike week one imo. CBK is going to look like a genius if sloan keeps getting better. Our HC saw his ability to develop the qb position and u dont let him go call plays elsewhere bec ppl want the big name
This is why I'm cool with giving up a long TD run or busted coverage play every once in a while (as long as it doesn't lose the Tigers the game) because if they're a shut down D every week especially after last year Blake gonna be a HC somewhere quick fast and we need to keep Baker in BR lol. Tongue in cheek comment obviously i want the best for coaches and players but the selfish side of me i want BB coaching the defense for a loooong time
The more they pressure the QB, the better that secondary is going to look.
Anyone who thinks this defense isn’t clearly better is crazy. You basically have the same people and the people you did lose were really the best players from a year ago. I felt like last year LSU’s offense had to score every time in order to win and Jayden damn near did that in most games. LSU’s defense makes defensive stops when they have to. I agree, this defense with last years O wins the natty. It isn’t just Blake Baker, it’s Baker, Davis, Peoples, and Raymond and Whit Weeks 🙂
Congrats to Ramos. He's damn good..
Whit was a damn beast! He ran 4 consecutive big plays, including his interception on the 2.
Hell, every player on the team is clicking except for Garrett Dellinger but hey, he's basically new to the slot. Nuss got lucky when hogs didn't pick off 3 of his throws. That crap will kill the tigers facing a good 2ndary, He's got to stop those wild throws into double and even triple coverage. My donation will go to whit this month.
I think Blake Baker will be the head coach of LSU one day. He might even be Brian Kelly’s replacement when he retires .
Coaching decisions are everything. I thought Baker was the best coach on the field for Ogeron"s last year. If you just look at the improvement of the Line Backers in that year you would come to that conclusion much less the defense in general. The qb situation that year was a disaster and that led to the Kelly era. I thought Baker was the only one I would keep and that included Davis and the CB coach. I thought when they let Baker go it was a gigantic mistake. ULTIMATELY that led to Kelly's having no chance for a NATTY in spite of a historic offense. If he never wins one IT WAS HIS OWN DECISION THAT COST HIM.
Nfl may call for baker just luke joe brady got hot an left
increasing maybe ?
Blake should be the next HC
So glad he brought back some guys from the previous defensive staff…..guys that worked directly with Dave Aranda….probably highly likely Aranda wouldn't give up a head coaching job to come back to be DC….a guy who while here as DC usually secured wins whenever his defense held the opponent under 24 even when our offense was lack lackluster….but since we can't get Aranda back…get the guys who coached on his staff
The last 2 weeks is totally different since they settled on their lineup. No comparison
💪
"Incresing" role?????
Ummm……
We're 7 weeks in and LSU still has crucial pieces emerging on both sides of the ball. God I love football
