Arkansas vs. LSU

Demarcus Love

14:30 1st – Bends at waist too much and on ground

below average footwork – crosses over with long steps

Quick hips and feet on angle block

good leverage, natural knee bender, keeps feet moving

Footwork needs polish … long steps still crossing over … very good agility and smooth athlete

excellent job picking up the blitz, plays with good speed, but footwork needs to be better

Blocking on heels, not balls of feet…gets a nice hand punch + good strength

Mallett: Strong arm, poor mechanics and footwork, not mobile and a bad athlete… Ball tends to sail – releases too early

needs to work on timing … ball not coming out early enough

Barsdale – possibly missed assignment on blitz…bad vision/awarenes? … has heavy hands…

Misses blocks again

natural knee bender and keeps butt low … elite technician

Kelvin Sheppard: solid in pass coverage
