    Definitely had a lot to do with it

    Reminded me of what Drew Brees does to D-lines, frustrating them because he makes decisions so damn quick and gets the ball out before you get to him, eventually it has to wear on a defensive player's mind and he is (subconsciously) not trying as hard to get to the QB

    Wait! Is Eric Reid suggesting we could do better on defense? Doesn't he know we're undefeated? :wave:

    My only issue was the tackling, but in the 1st 3 games were were sticking all of them. I don't see a problem that needs fixing.

    Reid sees it as I see it. They MUST make corrections as they have a helluva schedule with FL and AL looking pretty darned good.

    I think they will.

    I am confident the necessary adjustments will be made. The defense has a lot of pride and they will come out hungrier than ever going forward.

    Correct.

    Missing tackles the rest of the year will serve us well.

    Florida will be tough because it's Florida. They have some homerun striking ability and an under-rated QB (Brantley was doomed in Urban's spread offense that's better suited to dual-threat QB's and Brantley is a pure pocket passer). But I'm less impressed with Florida at this point than I am with 'Bama.

    Florida isn't going to turn my head because they put up big numbers vs the sisters of the poor and Kentucky.

    I'm impressed less with the Atlanta Falcons than I am BAMA, they are not your average team.
    Florida still has talent and shouldn't be taken lightly. There are several SEC games that LSU should win that could end up being tougher than advertised. Teams like AU, Fl and Arky are all tough games to win. LSU has been really good about taking it one game at a time and that is a good tradition to follow.

    Yeh, but FU has Charlie 'Puddin'Pants' Weiss as their OC. He sucked as a HC, but he's pretty good at developing schemes and finding weaknesses in your D. I think we'll have to blitz more in this game and definitely tackle soundly.

    How'd that work out for him in the Sugar Bowl?:D:geaux::geauxtige
