when i say burnt I do not mean the actual footage between rec and def. I am talking about the position between them. the recievers were fighting for positons that made our defenders helpless. ( i was in no way trying to flame ya)
I know, I agree with you on the position thing, our CB's had no shot at breaking up the TD passes, but they weren't giving up the TD's because they could not keep up with the UGA receivers.
If a QB puts the ball where the reciever can catch it with arms extended and in stride, no DB at any level can stop it. NONE. That happened on many occasions today. UGA figured out how to pickup the blitzes and give Greene time to pick us apart. Placing the blame for that on two guys who we have hailed as heroes many times is idiotic. Was today their best game? No, but they weren't the only problem. GEAUX TIGERS (Gators Eat Boogers)
If you don't think their draft status is plummeting, that would be idiotic. Neither will go in the first round.
I don't know--Denard Walker has made a pretty good career in the NFL after repeatedly getting "torched" by Spurrior's Florida teams. In fact, he has lasted longer than Danny Weurffel, Jaquez Green, and the Old Ball Coach himself. Regarding the NFL draft, combine results matter more to them than how they played on a bad day for their teams. How else would you explain Eli Manning going number one after the day he had against us? The sky is not falling. GEAUX TIGERS (Gators Eat Boogers)
Yes, and I say C Web is not as fast as we think and that will be shown at the combines. The sky is not falling but a spade is a spade.
If he wasn't that fast last year, then the combines would have hurt him even if he had come out--maybe that's why he didn't. I just don't think you can hold everything that went wrong today on those two guys. Most of the passes could not be defended by anyone. Sometimes that happens when a QB has time and the receivers run perfect routes. The pro guys know that and will judge accordingly. And that judgement will have exactly no impact on LSU's season next year. GEAUX TIGERS
This isn't just about the coverage of the cornerbacks... This is a team game. If the D-line doesn't get pressure, then anyone who's ever watched football before knows it doesn't take the greatest QB in the world to pick apart a secondary. It just seems like the blitz isn't getting there as quickly as it did last year. The game today was dictated by turnovers....LSU made them, Georgia didn't. Turnovers and mental mistakes = loss of field position, which when playing on the road, is paramount. How many times did the LSU offense turn the ball over or get pinned deep and forced to punt from close to the goal line, giving Georgia great starting field position? How many scoring drives did UGA start from inside its own territory? I'm counting 2. The defense didn't do badly considering the starting position of most of Georgia's scoring drives. Give LSU the ball inside UGA's 50 on 4 different occasions and we have a totally different ball game. The majority of the blame for this loss lies on the offensive side of the ball...mainly turnovers, the porous offensive line...and that first drive of the 2nd half where the holding penalty killed the drive that had we scored, we're within 7 (assuming Jackson doesn't have an Auburn flashback) with most of the second half left to play. THE turning point of this game. We had the momentum going into halftime...extended it into that first drive of the second half, then the penalty killed it. We will be ok. This was just "one of those days".
