Scott: What's the key for LSU in 2013 to get back to the top of the SEC?
Mike: Scott, they will be a good football team and they have tremendous talent along the offensive line, at linebacker and they have pretty good depth at halfback and in the secondary. The key is to develop Zach Mettenberger into a more consistent downfield passer, have better pocket presence and upgrade the passing attack. They just don't use their backs and tight end enough in their passing offense and the same issues that plagued Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee are now coming into play with Mettenberger.
There needs to be a change in this offense from a coaching standpoint and from a scheme standpoint. They will always be a good running team, but they need to fully develop Zach's overall skills as a passer and be better at using all the weapons, especially the backs and tight ends, in their passing attack.

The parts of the interview you highlighted were in response to this:
Those answers had NOTHING to do with why the players left early for the NFL.
He summed this up nicely by responding to that idea point blank:
He then goes through every single player listing why they left, and NONE of them have anything to do with our offensive production.
The OP is saying the two are related. They aren't.

Is it just a matter of talent or is there something else about this that is more troubling?
Mike: Scott, It is all about talent and a moment in time.

the OPs conclusion was that players were leaving because of the offense....which is false.
we all know the offense needs to get better....i don't need anyone to tell me that.

U should apply for CNN or the Obama admin, for the spin move you just put on. Best one I've seen since watching Eddie Lacy.

In the Ala game when everyone was raving about how Mett finally looked like a QB was the 1st game where LSU utilzed the TE's and RB's in the passing game.LSU was 9 for 9 passing to the TE's and RB's.41% of the passing yardage in the Ala game was to the TE's & RB's.It opened up the WR's to one on one coverage and made the running game more effective.Hopefully,Miles will finally take note from the NFL Draft Experts assessment of the problem with the LSU offense and make the appropriate changes.
