Receivers ability to separate??

Good morning,
We are in serious trouble and if things don't improve, we can forget about this Miami 2013 hype, because it's not happening. We may not win in two weeks at Florida. There is still time to turn it around...
From my novice point of view, it looks to be the receivers are not getting separation. We've seen Mett thread the needle over and over again, so accuracy is not his problem. That would lead me to believe that the receivers are not getting open as much as they should.
Agree, disagree?

Agree, but I believe it to be more of a problem with the routes. LSU runs very simple routes to attack the seams. Most of the routes are vertical routes with very little crossing routes underneath designed to find holes in the coverage. These routes are easier to cover. They are particulary easy when you only have 2 or 3 recievers to worry about.

They aren't. WR is a huge concern going forward.

That certainly has played a part but most of these passes should be caught. Most were simple drops.

I expected better, particularly from Beckham. though it seems like at times they get separation and the throw isn't the best, or the line isn't giving Mett time to make the throw. ODB had that 1 DB burnt badly, and the deep ball to Shep may have gone for 6 if it's thrown a bit more toward the post (this is off memory, haven't seen those on replay yet though).
keep telling myself we'll get that stuff fixed, but man. do it already!

They can separate, catching is the issue

Our receivers have not been able to seperate from the db's in 4 years.
it must have more to do with play calling and play design than the receivers themselves.

Honestly it feels like we have a bunch of slot receivers out there no real deep threat.
Shep, Jarvis, and beckham are all like 6'1 and under right?

Agree. We don't have a Bowe, Clayton, lafell or Randle this year. We have a bunch of #2 guys.

saw some good patterns but usually let down by drops when the throw was on point.

I think Boone is our best reciever
