re: Anthony Jennings Pass Attempts Versus Mississippi St

Oh, you mean like when he threw to Dickson and Dickson jumped to catch it for no reason and landed out of bounds?

that was on Dickson... he wasn't aware of where he was on the field for sure!

This is like the Les apologists' statistical arguments. You can play with numbers all you want and spin things to this or that, but most people can tell by watching that the O is not getting it done. Its not all on Jennings. I blame Les for hiring Grimes and chaning ou blocking scheme and put the rest of the blame on Les for the crap game plans.

Speaking of TE personnel, did he even look at a TE down the field all game?

---

yeah he did. besides the pass to Dickson, there was the bootleg where he threw to a covered Gordon in the end zone when he had Melvin Jones wide open underneath for a nice gain.

I guess Cameron has nothing to do with the offense.

only when the offense is good

Anthony Jennings Pass Attempts Versus Mississippi St

that's what jennings passing did for LSU vs MSU

You, my man, are the best the rant has to offer. When people read this board, people like you come to mind.

You say something has never happened. I show you an example from the first game that it has happened. You say it's not enough.

The point is that Jennings makes his reads. I’ve given you proof of it. But that’s not the real problem you have.

quote:

---

The point was that Jennings stares down his receivers. [Y]our best example is on a play where he throws to a receiver on the same side of the field as he was initially looking.

I don't think you understand anything about QB reads or progressions.

I don't think you understand what a QB is looking at downfield after the ball is snapped.

Do you really think that a QB is supposed to scan the field to look at all available receivers in some kind of order like WRX, WRY, TE, WRZ, RB?

On many pass plays, you make a read pre-snap and post-snap. The read post-snap is typically based on looking at a defender and his reaction, not looking at a receiver.

So when a QB looks downfield after the snap on a pass play, most times he is looking at one guy: a defensive player. You call it "staring down" the receiver, but he is actually reading a defender. The QB will throw it to one of two targets depending on what that defender does. Most of the time, those two targets are on the same side of the field.

That's the whole point of reading the defender's reactions. Is the defender in zone or man? Which receiver is he covering? QBs almost never have time to look at 3 or 4 receivers. Most plays are not intended to have a QB look at 3 or 4 receivers even when there are that many receivers involved in the pass play. If the play breaks down and is extended beyond two seconds, then those receivers might be targets, but that’s not the intent of the play. Plays are not intended to break down even if the plays do have contingency routes if they do break down.

In the offense LSU has been primarily running, there have not been that many receivers involved in the play. So where, exactly, do you want Jennings or Harris to look?


You, my man, are the best the rant has to offer.

You let your emotions and bias control your analysis and determine your conclusion.

You just "know" that someone fricked up even if you don't know what they are supposed to be doing. You use words that you don't fully understand, but you've read other sheep use.

You say you've never seen something even when it's happened. And when someone gives you an example, you say that's it's not enough.

When people read this board, people like you come to mind. :bow:

so according to this...LSU passed more on 1st and 2nd down than 3rd down

---

No, thats just passing. Sadly these LSU atheltic department sock puppets never provide their data source, nor show a complete picture.

Are you calling me an LSU athletic department sock puppet? I am not affiliated with LSU other than being a longtime season ticket holder and having a degree from the University.

My data source is espn.com play by play.

I gave a complete picture of the point I was trying to make. My point was not about having more passes on 1st and 2nd down compared to 3rd. Someone else brought that up.
