And what was that a response to?

Full context:
quote:

Steve Eubanks of FoxSports.com asked about preparing a defense for two different styles of quarterback, as with Tim Tebow and John Brantley.

Miles: "We're preparing against Florida's offens, and we feel like whichever quarterback will take snaps there will operate with that offense. There's enough variability in that offense that gives you enough to prepare. It's an imperfect time, certainly. You don't know exactly the characteristic of the quarterback that's taking the snap, so you put yourself in the best position, you see where the offense dictates the quarterback's play, and you try to predict it."

The Palm Beach Post's Ben Volin asked whether the differences between Tebow and Brantley are so great they require two defensive game plans.

Miles: "Well, it's ... uh, yeah. Again, our focus is what Florida does, and I would guess that their players would expect that there would be some similarities in the calls. So -- again, imperfectly -- we're preparing for what appears to be the personality of the team that we're playing."

ohhhh.... well, if you're gonna put it in CONTEXT, it may have a different meaning totally.


shame on us if the nightly news folks ever start putting stuff in context... we might have to start thinking for ourselves, rather than letting them direct "our" thoughts...

Thanks for the entire discussion. I think Les Miles' answers were good and on point. LSU is prepairing for Florida. Regardless of the QB, there are some things that Florida will do because of the surrounding people. The QB may influence this but will not change it totally.
