NateDawg Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Defense has some real holes that need fixed. Looked like Fuller was out today. Having him back will help the back end. Offense looked lights-out. Night and day from the J.T. days. Just have to shore up that D a bit past the dline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSURacerDT55 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 *DLine will be our savior on defense, our DBs are concerning. Didn't like how our defensive fits looked *Also our offense will be our savior as a team, offensive line looked really good, TEs blocked really well *Dre'Mont Jones looked like a first round pick today 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talent isn’t the issue there. I do think Browning needs to be in the mix at OLB and not MLB. They need a thumper in the middle. I think Borland working his way back will probably take back over there. Harrison looks bad out wide though. Have to have more out of that unit, especially given how dominant that front four is. Disappointments: Safety play, Okudah, overpursuit on D, lack of discipline by Chase Young, LBs. The Good: Entire offense, Bosa (best defender in America pretty easily), Ryan Day. Overall, what you’d expect from a week 1 game. Great team but things to work on. Really nice to see a QB out there that can sling it. It’s pretty much what I expected. Makes you scratch your head at the loyalty to JTB. Edited September 1, 2018 by NateDawg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we can clean up some things but this is nowhere close to a championship caliber defense. Our Defensive line is elite, Linebackers talent wise are good but average in terms of coaching and our DBs miss Coombs, no way around it. As far as the QB thing, Had we had Haskins against Oklahoma or Iowa, we could have had a shot with Oklahoma scoring more but no chance at Iowa because of the way they manipulated our LBs both games. Bill Davis is trash, Losing Fickell and Coombs killed us coincidentally both units are suffering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big poppa pump Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The running game was crazy good today, and the O in general is much different with Haskins at the helm. He doesn't have to threaten with his feet. Looks great standing in the pocket and throwing darts. As everyone said...D needs to clean some things up. but I think they will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Davis is trash, Losing Fickell and Coombs killed us coincidentally both units are suffering Lets give the DB unit a chance. It was the first game back with new players in the secondary playing. The TCU game will be the test for them. lets see what happens when they have legit tape on them and see how teams attacked them and how they need to change. Dont forget Ward didnt look all that great vs Indiana last but by midseason he was one of the best DBs in the nation. People in here talking like Fickell was good as a LB coach. There was a period of time, where the LB units were pretty bad and then everything started to click for the unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Yeah I think the defense and the team in general cleans some things up. I think the defense was super aggressive today and it hurt them today at times. I feel like opening up at home and with all the Urban drama going on the team just wanted to go out there and play and it hurt the defense. DL got burnt a few times by not reacting to screen plays and secondary played way to aggressive at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyPhil1781 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I'm hoping Urban coming back to coach practice gets a fire lit under our defense. I don't doubt our offense one bit. We'll score on anyone and I'll still stand here and attest our WRs were never a problem as I've always said. It was our damn QB play. Mack is an absolute monster and will have a great year. That back 7 on defense better get their poo together though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How nice is it to have a real qb? It’s why me and several in here wanted Barrett replaced LAST year. I think we would have been a superior team. Also it looked like Weber was more agile and looked more alive. He was ballin yesterday. Whoever advised him to stay was smart. I honestly thought he should go because of Dobbins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he looked last year looked like his freshmen year. Fee like he rushed back last year so He wasn’t completely forgotten. He looks real good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just sitting here watching Burrow do his thing here at LSU , either him and Haskins could have played and been just fine, as a matter of fact, just imagine Haskins going into his 2nd year of starting experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
