campshelby is right - the offenses we are playing are much better than last year - especially LSU and Auburn. I'm not saying the guy is a Top 10 DC, but this year i do see more times where players are in positions to make plays. We're simply just not making a ton of them.
Auburn game was fluky as all getout. The score when Cox stubmles and they score when a QB completes a pass to himself. none of that is on the DC. And as much as i want to fault the result at the time I don't think the last drive on auburn was that bad a gameplan. The QB had a scattershot arm and we had blown several coverages that left guys open deep and the QB was a running threat if you blitzed and missed. Most DC's would take the chance that the errant QB will make a poor throw or two and you either get the stop or he throws a pick. Obviously didn't work out that way b/c dude threw a few darts. Hindsight 20/20. you'll notice he learned a bit form that and the last drive of the BG game he was bring blitzes almost every down.
LSU - we missed some tackles on D on some of the big runs and their WR just went up and made some plays a lot of times against good coverage. But a lot of times (at least early) our guys were in position to make plays. The only thing i really don't like is that we keep giving up scores right before halftime and we haven't figured out the zone read to Autry/Skinner's side.
