Betrayal


Tinker:

Lying to their friends is apparently a way of life in the government of the United States. Nowhere else do I see lying as a virtue in the American people daily life. Lying to the tea party is a work of art instead of a lie to the men and women moving the levers of political power in Washington DC.

Because the people in the tea party are trying to stop the Unites States government from spindling even more money than they have already spent. So the Ivy league oracles that you known today as the in crowd, who are in front and behind of the television cameras. Feel like the people in the tea party is not worthy of the truth from the political leaders running Washington DC.

Today Washington DC in crowd is crippled and twisted from their inner fear of the American people investigating what they were really doing in the office buildings in Washington DC.

The in crowd is terrorized with the really of the American people proving the crimes that they committed from all the backroom deals they did. So I suppose the Washington DC way of life will go on until something catastrophic happens.

Glenn Beck Irate Over Leaked Boehner Office Emails: ‘Defund the GOP’

Oct. 2, 2013 12:50pm
Glenn Beck was incensed Wednesday over reports of leaked emails that indicated House Speaker John Boehner coordinated with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to exempt Congress from Obamacare.

This is John Boehner. This is your speaker of the House … this is exactly what we’ve been saying they are doing,” Beck said with disgust on radio. “They are making special deals behind closed doors. They are one part and parcel with the Democratic Party. They are in bed with them and they are lying to you.”

FILM STUDY: LSU vs. Georgia, Part Two: Defense Deteriorates vs. Bulldogs
10/3/2013 

By CODY WORSHAM
Tiger Rag Editor


Often, going back and looking at film can open one’s eyes to mistakes not seen with a first watch.
Such was not the case with Georgia’s 44-41 win over LSU.

The successes and failures of the Tigers in Athens were as obvious with a second watch as they were the first go-round.

As covered yesterday, the offensive success was all about the arm talent of Zach Mettenberger, who made several NFL throws under immense pressure from the Georgia rush.

However, the offensive and defensive breakdowns were all about miscommunication and players being in the wrong place. There were also some defensive matchup issues, where LSU’s players simply weren’t good enough to stop Georgia’s.

Let’s take a look at a couple of plays that serve as microcosms of the game’s larger themes.

Failure to Communicate

The defensive communication breakdowns have been well covered by now.

There were a number of plays where LSU’s secondary failed to communicate calls, but only one – Michael Bennett’s second touchdown reception from Aaron Murray to make the score 34-27 late in the third quarter – resulted in a score.

Murray’s other three scores were simply poor execution from LSU’s defense, but we’ll get to that later.
The more understated communication failures took place along the offensive line, particularly in the first half, when LSU rushed for just 13 yards.

Multiple times, the LSU offensive line – facing an SEC 3-4 defense for the first time all year – did not properly identify assignments presnap, and the results were busted runs and ugly sacks.

Take the very first offensive play of the game for example. LSU runs this year’s bread and butter – a simple isolation from the I-formation to the left, but it goes for a loss.

The reason LSU has been dominant out of this play (it’s what sprung Jeremy Hill’s long runs against Auburn) has been the blocking of the Tigers’ left side of the line, and, most importantly, the blocking of J.C. Copeland.

Copeland has been blowing up middle linebackers all season, and that’s what he wants to do on this play. Instead, he has to take the outside linebacker, because La’El Collins, the man responsible for the five technique, doubles down on Vadal Alexander’s man briefly before moving on to the second level.

Against a four man front, this would be the right move, but in a three-man front (represented by the three blue dots), Alexander should take his man (the bottom blue dot) one-on-one and use leverage to get his own back to the ball carrier and create a running lane. Collins, meanwhile, should leverage the outside linebacker (the yellow dot to the bottom of the screen) to the sideline, opening a hole for Hill to run through.

Instead, Collins lets his man run untouched into the backfield, and Copeland, rather moving on to the middle linebacker (the lowest yellow dot), has to clean up the mess.

It’s too late, and the penetration slows the play, allowing the weakside backer – unblocked by design – to pick up a tackle for loss.

This sort of miscommunication continued throughout the first half, but LSU adjusted in the second half and ran the ball better.

Sloppy Secondary 

LSU’s corners have been lambasted all week, and they weren’t stellar. Both Jalen Mills and, particularly, Tre’Davious White, were off their games. White, more than anyone, struggled to redirect receivers, allowing the Georgia offense to operate in precise timing.

Watch here as he is beat without laying a finger on his man. It’s good coverage, but with no pressure up front to disrupt the quarterback’s timing, and no physicality outside to disrupt the receiver’s timing, good isn’t good enough.

A great throw and great catch will always beat good coverage.

What’s bad is the corners weren’t the worst part of LSU’s secondary. Neither Ronald Martin nor Craig Loston had a memorable day in Athens. Martin was exposed for Georgia’s third touchdown, and Loston was burned for Georgia’s first and last touchdowns.

Here’s video of Martin’s mistake. Danielson pretty much nails it, but I’ll add this before watching. It looks like LSU drops into Cover 3, which means Martin is responsible for the middle deep third of the field. He jumps the under route, which Lamin Barrow has bottled up, and where does the touchdown go?
The middle deep third.

But Martin is a former high school quarterback in his first year starting at free safety. Mistakes are expected.

Where they aren't expected is from a fifth-year senior and former five-star recruit who has been playing meaningful football for four seasons. That's exactly what Loston is, but he isn't playing like it.

On UGA's first score, he was in man coverage on junior wideout Michael Bennett, who runs a simple flat route out of the slot. The slant from the outside receiver is designed to slow down Loston, but he must recognize this and use proper technique to stay with his man.


He doesn't.

If man isn't Loston's forte, zone isn't, either. On Georgia's game winning touchdown, LSU is playing a Cover Two zone, designed to keep UGA in front of the defense. After all, up 41-37, Georgia must score.

Loston is responsible for the deep half of the field on his side. Not the middle of the field. The deep half.

On this play, there are two receivers to Loston's side, a split end and a tight end. The split end will run a streak down the sideline, and the tight end will run a post.

On the snap, Aaron Murray looks straight at Loston. He's going to throw the ball wherever Loston doesn't go.

If Loston feels up to it, he could bait Murray into a throw and break on it. He could do this by feinting to the inside receiver and breaking to the outside, or vice versa. The key, however, is that the tight end running the post is not Loston's responsibility. Once that tight end breaks to the middle, he becomes responsibility of Barrow, the middle linebacker in this play.

Instead, as Danielson puts it, Murray "abuses" Loston with his eyes. Loston (at the top right of the video below) breaks to the post route, leaving the sideline wide open. When Jalen Mills throws a temper tantrum after the catch and score, he's a little immature, but he's not wrong.

I could go on. There are numerous other areas left unaddressed in this session, like LSU's lack of a pass rush and its inability to get penetration through its tackles (my joke this week is that Anthony Johnson has been more Fraud than Freak in 2013).

But those issues, while relevant, didn't cost LSU the Georgia game. If the Tigers get better secondary play, they win a shoot out, instead of losing one. If the Tiger defense forces 3's instead of 6's, LSU is undefeated and ranked inside the top five, instead of holding a loss and needing to win out for a shot at the national title.

We'll see how these things improve. Perhaps we'll see new blood at safety (Corey Thompson and, much less likely, Rickey Jefferson could have something to say) or defensive end in an effort to shore up some of these issues.

However John Chavis goes about fixing the problems, I only know this.

I don't envy his job this week.

Impressive analysis. You nailed it. Sure hope Chief has the D unit PO'd and focused on improvement and being accountable this week. If D improves to their talent as season progresses, then we still will be in the NC hunt.
