A rolling pocket is good, but that also takes a disciplined o-line to pull off. If not done right, someone can get through easily, so you still need to release it quick and LSU can't use this every down. However, against Bama, it may be necessary.

Florida game...1 pass play over 15 yards i believe. So was every receiver covered the entire game downfield?

I agree with some of that (how to make JJ more effective by moving the pocket, etc...) but as to the rest you are an idiot. Our wide receivers are beasts. Just look at what they've done after the catch this year. If you want to argue that LaFell has looked timid with his drops over the past three games I will agree, but overrated? NO.

FLorida game?? From what Jordan said after playing and watching film, he stated that all his receivers were "covered" all the time. So if that is the case, then it's tough to throw the ball to someone who is blanketed and hasn't shown the ability to come down with it in traffic, including Lafell up until that one Auburn play. Tolliver should be a target that can get it high and take chances in a double team situation down the field, but he doesnt have the speed to gain the separation, so consider him well covered if a corner and safety are on him. All of Lafell catches come with him primarily using his great route running over the middle and getting the necessary separation, but he lacks the ability to go "get it" in traffic, thus he is a No.2 receiver in the pros at best. Jordan has been "programmed" based on last year to not throw picks, thus he is scared to give his receivers those "questionable" opportunities to make the tremendous play. Every time Dickson catches the ball, I swear he gets licked every time b/c a linebacker and corner is right there that's why he gets no YAC. Teams key on Lafell and Dickson as the safety valve and your left with Tolliver. The key to winning games is Tolliver because teams as of now are willing to let him be the one that beats us in the passing game. That's why he seems likes Jordan's favorite target these days.
