I would rather blitz and get burned occasionally than to play 7 in coverage and suffer a slow, painful death.


Thank you. Finally some people with common sense.

my arguement is that we didn't put them in 3rd and long situations enough to blitz regularly like pelini. that is why ole miss could.


Is there some kind of rule against blitzing on 1st or 2nd down that I'm not aware of. Come on man. You know you're wrong here.

you can say that shiit again for 1000x and our co DC wouldnt even know it. Pelini did not blitz enough last year. this year his minions forgot all about. A slow methodical drive will kill any defense.

.. now tell me how blitz is "shown".
LBs and DBs close to the line of scrimmage looking hungry. Of course, they can show the blitz and then drop back into coverage at the last second to mess with QB. Chess game.

A blitz or at least the look of a blitz will also cause a team to go to max protection. Keeping the RBs at home to block. There is no imagination to this defense.

Anyone see Cleveland last night. Ran all kind of stunts, had a couple instances where they had all kind of people moving at the line....they didn't even get down in a stance. Guess what Eli was confused. Hire the Browns DC!

you got that right sir. there is no such thing as disguising our defensive package. Tebow did not have to think or second guess what we were going to do on D on any particular play. the totally sad part about the fl game was our DCs were clueless with second half adjustment. no fking adjustment what so ever.

Our secondary is not the problem. It's giving the QB 10 seconds to throw the ball. Any receiver could get open with the amount of time we give opposing QB's


I agree 100%. I thought for sure we would bring pressure. It MIGHT be ok to see if we can stop them without blitzing but when we fail to make them punt AT ALL don't yall think it might be time to gamble a little. Yall act as though because a blitz can get you burned that it will get you burned.

I have stated all along that we need to blitz regardless of if we get burned. Blitz at the beginning of every drive and play it safe later on if you want.

Blitz damn it!

HALLELUAH. People are starting to get it. Let's start a blitz petition. By the way, I know this is off subject but do you honestly think that these people who become college football coaches are the brilliant minds of this country. I think not. As a metter of fact, I think many of the intellegent students of tiger nation could do a better job. I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but we all know it's true. If you gave an intelligent businessman/engineer/pilot/etc/etc/etc a little time to study the game of football, then I'm convinced they would come up with better gameplans than most college football coaches. I mean I love our boy Les, but he's not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.

What are you talking about? I'm talking about LSU. Texas players don't take the field on defense for us so your argument is pretty irrelevant. Not to mention oklahoma has a sick offense. Our players are more talented than Texas' players and at least muschamp came away with the W while we sat back and let florida put up 51 on us. I mean maybe we should try something different.

Sending 5 players is weak and what most teams send without using their blitz packages. Why are you so set against it? We just got our a** pounded by 30 points. Come on man. Get with the program.

neither does Texas' DC coach our players, so your argument is moot...

yeah, they don't have a redshirt freshman QB...

Look, i'm not happy with our Defensive performance either, but i also think that our offense and special teams continually put our defense in bad positions, so we can't just pin it on our d... to many 3 and outs and to many turn overs...

My point only was that sending 5 is a blitz... weak or not...

I agree that it's not an all out blitz, and i would like to see 6 or 7 come at the qb sometimes, but with our inexperienced dbs and lbs combined with florida's speed, i think they played a little conservative... Hind sight is always 20-20..

Can anyone recall those overtime losses last year? Both games we had won but esp again Arkansas on that 4th and 10 or w/e it was we didnt bring any heat. He had absolutly all day to throw. Now what happened against Alabama when the game was on the line and Chad Jones came in on a saftey blitz? JPW fumbled, we win. I loved those games when quaterbacks were absolutely destroyed by LaRon Landry when he came in from the saftey!

I'm not talking about muschamp coaching for us I'm just talking about blitzing in general which it just so happens was something we did quite often when muschamp was here. That's very different from comparing a blitz with Texas players and a blitz with LSU players.

I agree with you on that but is it too much to ask for our defense to force some 3 and outs. Granted our offense didn't help much but they certainly didn't help themselves any either. We need more pressure man. Blitzing is the answer.

I hope not becuase I like Les but we all know what I'm saying is true. Kinesiology majors are not our most impressive minds.

you were talking about muschamp's blitzing philosophy, and i was only pointing out that his blitzing defense gave up 35 points... thats all... just pointing out that sometimes that blitzing package can give up points too....

cheers brother.... we're all cheering for the same team..

i think!!
