In breaking down gamefilm, saw several areas of improvement:
D-line and O-line saw improvement from last year
L-backers Ok
D-backs young (other than Peterson), but should improve w/proper coaching (bad technique in 4th)
Running backs - was really tough on Ridley not securing the ball correctly.
Q-back: did see some things that Jefferson did better, but noted specific weaknesses.

He still sees no identity in calling Offense (carry over from last year). Ran variety of things w/no flow or continuity. That's why we would have low #'s of total plays or have trouble sustaining drives. Noted that w/Jefferson his strongest suit would be to roll him out w/a run/throw option.
In his opinion LSU is NOT an option team - we should stop trying to run it. We don't have the personnel to use it efficiently.

Landry knows his stuff, and I don't say that because I agree with his analysis in this case.

Jefferson IS effective when sprinting out of the pocket with the option to throw or run. We saw demonstrations of that in his first few games, including the Peach Bowl win over Ga. Tech. He's challenged as a pure pocket quarterback, and downright awful running the lateral option.

I don't know if Landry said anything like this, but my impression is that the coaching staff has tried to mold JJ to suit Crowton's playbook, instead of designing a scheme that reflects the QB's assets and limitations. The offense looks like it was built around Flynn/Perriloux.
