re: Miles's comments regarding 3rd and 8 are disturbing

My problem with Miles' comment is that it really doesn't account for poor QB play when that is a definite factor. Yes, penalties have affected our 3rd down situations, but when Miles talks about the whole "other team dropping 8 into coverage and any QB minus Favre would be hard-pressed to succeed" it pisses me off.
If LSU had a threatening passing game, it would be more conducive to LSU converting on 3rd and long. The reason other teams are dropping 8 into coverage on 3rd down is because they know that Jefferson could have all the time in the world back there and still not be able to make the throw. If JJ was a more threatening passer they would want to bring pressure on 3rd and long which opens up passing lanes.

Exactly, exactly, exactly.
A confident coach would stress that 3rd and 8 should not be insurmountable and that he expects better both in playcalling and execution.
He's afraid of criticizing his QB to preserve his psyche? How much of his game is being affected by this no-can-do attitude of his head coach?
