Our linebackers are extremely overated

I can’t even blame the LB’s. Look at the horrid substitutions we do at LB. it’s totally senseless.

LSU has a 240lb monster at lb that plays special teams & he never comes out yet our DC rotates LB’s. I don’t get it.

Let them stay in..get a flow for the game & whats happening.

Diaz is ****e man

He had Bradley Jennings and Rober Knowles in during the td #1 Robert knowles should only play specials.

Jennings and Mike Smith at LB...35 gets creamed on that td run.

I'll do you one better...Robert Knowles should've been forced to transfer and told he cannot play here.

LSU #40 (All-American) is on the punt team in the 4th quarter with them up big. Meanwhile, we have multiple backups on the field in the second series. Seems legit.

That's mainly because of Manny's retarded peewee football substitution philosophy. Everyone gets to play no matter how bad they are.
 
Some guy on Reddit recently posted an extremely detailed breakdown of every unit on our team. His assessment of our LB group is that there is a schematic flaw with our defense. I don’t remember it verbatim but essentially he said it appears like our LB’s are told to guess and freelance, and if they guess wrong, they get caught out of position. That, and as others have noted, the obsession with substitutions is annoying and puts inferior players on the field.
 
Diaz is the lbers coach so all criticism is an indictment on him. Hard to get going when you play 30% of the snaps as a **** starter?? Diaz is ****... Michael Barrow had our boys coached up by comparison and the best players were always on the field.

Our boys got talent, Pinkney and Shaq, the scheme and coaching just isn’t what we thought... if they’re not blitzing Diaz doesn’t know how to coach them to do anything else. Pinckney made a couple of tackles but missed some it’s just poor coaching imo.

But I do agree everyone that’s not a senior and not named Joe Jackson needs to come back next year. (I want Jackson back as well of course)

Stop this nonsense about them sucking. They aren’t superstars, but they are a decent unit. They also bleed orange and green and are some of the better players we got. If anything, criticize Diaz for our scheme and for not coaching them up better.
 
But you guys said they were Bermuda Triangle 2.0, guess that’s no longer the case. At least I know this loss will bother Shaq. Mike is IG posting vids of his hit on the fumble.

In the entire back 7 on that play we had 6 backups in. That was in the first qtr of the first game in season against a marquee opponent.
 
They cannot tackle. And if a long me a let cannot tackle than they are of no use.
