A big deal was made about some comment about Jefferson needing to improve his footwork and the rushing game to improve which would make the OL better. Of course this is the chicken and the egg. I conversely submit that improvement in the OL would improve the running game and not force Jefferson to try to be Fred Astaire and have to dance around a non-existent pocket. Regardless, here is what those same posters did NOT want to mention.

Miles went on to predict that Jefferson will end up being one of LSU's all-time great quarterbacks.

AND

Miles said he likes his team and believes that the best players have been playing.

Soooo, you can't have it both ways....you can't selectively quote certain info. Thanks but no thanks on that.

Miles also said this would be his best Oline ever.

So much for opinions.

I am shocked. SHOCKED that Les critiqued JJs footwork and you found a way to blame the OL.

Execution and play-calling improvement is what I got out of it - his reflections on the penalties that pushed us to 2nd-3rd & Long situations, thus forcing obvious pass plays.

I buy some of that, but still contend that this schitzo offensive scheme doesn't work. I'm pleased to hear that we may try to simplify things, not abandon the run game, and perhaps go back to an I-formation and 2-TE sets to protect the QB, run more play-action passing - anything but this "contorted Spread offense".

Brah, you are so far down on Jefferson's tip that you can only taste the bottom of his balls. Pick yourself up, it's embarrassing.

Coach speak...what do you expect him to say? JJ's terrible and he will never be an SEC QB?

Then why the few times Jefferson actually gets a pocket he dances around and doesn't set his feet? ie. the interception he threw right at the end of the half on Saturday.

Miles better not quit his job to be a fortune teller. In all truth he needs to say this whether he believe it or not for JJ's confidence.
