Will the Georgia Bulldogs' Secondary be the Bright Spot in Todd Grantham's New 3-4 Defense?
You all know that I err on the side of pessimism automatically, so it goes without saying that I share Doug Gillett’s concerns about the front seven in the Georgia Bulldogs’ new 3-4 scheme. What about the secondary, though? Granted, the defensive backfield differs little between a 4-3 and a 3-4,...
5 Keys To A Successful Season, Part 4: The Revamped Secondary

In a move a lot of people have talked about already, and even more people expected for months, LSU strong safety Harry Coleman has moved to linebacker. He was a full time starter at safety last year, but his play was somewhat disappointing. I think if you got him talking confidentially, he...
Phelon Jones Leaves the Team
Rising sophomore defensive back Phelon Jones has decided to transfer out of the LSU football program. It is being discussed that he may transfer to Auburn. Coach Les Miles has given him his unconditional release, which means he can transfer to wherever he likes, including within the SEC. He...

You thought that here on April 3, 2009, that Spring was just getting started? On the football calendar, we are on the downside of Spring, and it will end soon. LSU had a scrimmage yesterday, and now they take off for Spring Break. After the team returns from Spring Break, there will be a few...
