The pass protection was garbage and needs to be fixed


It could have been better, but I really only saw 4-5 instances where Mett was under immediate pressure because someone missed an assignment.

I wouldn't exactly call that "garbage", but Maybe we use adjectives differently.

The pass play calling was very conservative.


Maybe because they didn't need to throw at all?

The only real issues I saw were in the secondary, where they are replacing 3 NFL-caliber starters. But again, I didn't see an overall shitty game.

I think we watched the exact same game, but it sounds like your definition of "played like shite" means "we didn't hang 70 points on our mid-major-rent-win" like Okie State".

WOW.I would have took a 28-10 win over NT if we had looked better. Almost ALL teams improve the most between the 1st and 2nd game. I believe LSU will but For all the Miles talk saying we are gonna open up the offense seems like a lie to me.

PJ goes overboard with the hyperbole. A couple of the blocking issues were on Mettenberger, a couple on RB's.

This meme that because the passing game was not close to perfect in game 1, they didn't throw enough is truly rantastic.

no doubt there were things that need to be ironed out, Miles and several players called it sloppy. They threw 26 times, I think that's going to be fairly close to what they throw in most games. It is run oriented offense, just like Bama, if you want to call the conservative, so be it, but they don't have to chuck in 50 times to beat Alabama, they just have to connect on a couple of the ones that are open, and there will be open ones, just like there were in the 2 games last year.
