Was just saying if I had to pick one I'm going with less reps and more detail. 80 plays is a LOT regardless. Very long practice.

True, if I had to choose one I'd go with that. I wonder if Bama or Houston have to choose just one, though.

And as you become better at something you can do it more efficiently and run more plays. No point in just running more plays just to run them.

That seems low for reps. I still like how he wants to challenge defenses early with 4 verticals forcing the safeties to stay back
Only works if you actually complete a few. I would imagine that out-the-door it aint gonna work. We dont exactly have a good reputation with the forward pass.

Yeah but even if you can't drill the whole play theres got to be more to work on. The fact that he is shortening practice just doesn't sound right to me unless this is a temporary thing to lift spirits on the team or something.
We're going up against insane workaholics like Saban who get every second of time from their players that NCAA rules allow.

Notbrunningbthe wildcat several times per game with Shepard is the most ignorant thing I've ever seen in college football at LSU.
Miles was a moron and still is. He has no clue how to run anything. Good person and recruiter, and it ends there.
Good riddance to that dumb frick
^ Did yall hear the part of Skips interview where he said he implored Miles to keep Fisher but Miles wanted "his guy"(yes man)?
Beginning of the end for Miles.

Seems like he's going more toward the NFL model - your conditioning is done between the spring and fall camps. Once you get to the season, you should be in football shape. This, reducing the necessity for long practices. You warm up, do some technique drills, then run 30 or so plays. Then you scout yourself and your next opponent. Coach O understands the rigors of a long season on the human body. He also understands football is almost as much mental as physical. He wants to be more prepared while still being fresh.

Thanks. So here's where I was going with this...
So Miles had inefficient & low-energy practices that lacked self-evaluation/scouting (example in your post). We all heard many times about player X was playing because of "doing well in practice". So the basis for personnel decisions was flawed in some cases. In fact, a Miles perception of that player (based on??) was then the primary factor. Hence the "favorites" issue. Not only that, if poor self-evaluations are being done, then that also affects play calling in games along with personnel.
The point I wanted to make is...
When CEO opened practices to the media, the primary reason is probably not to curry favor or promote himself for the non-interim job but because he is acknowledging there is a big issue here. Closed practices is one way to prevent this issue from becoming a clarion call for change... or heads.
Ineffecient practices with little or no self-evaluation/scouting leads to poor player development, poor game preparation, and... of course... poor execution. It's the foundation for execution in games.
If we are going to see immediate (3 games or less) improvement on the field, this is where it will come from. Not necessarily play selection, but execution will improve and players will be in a better position to succeed on a play-by-play basis stemming from better prep. It may look much different soon if we're lucky.
^Great stuff^.
These are the kind of posts I enjoy reading on TR.

This thread is hilarious.
Some of you are assuming reps and some are assuming specific plays....

He was so conservitive cuz he was scared to turn the ball over. That approach only works if U have a dominant defense & ST's.. Back in those days we won the games like auburn because our punter would be pinning them back inside the 20 all game. Last week when u punt it 30 yards they only need two or three first downs and with a good K they putting 3 on the board. We just haven't had the defense in recent years.. This year we have the D but not the ST's. And obviously he wouldn't make the adjustment offensively by being aggressive and out scoring opponents.

You can run 200 plays, but if you can't execute it's meaningless! Run 20 and perfect execution and run them out of different sets. I'm good with this!

Doing this all week and then gameday Saturdays? Guess it explains why LSU has always fallen off at the end of the year
It also makes sense why LSU's team seemes to fade quickly in games the last few years. I honestly think Les' solution to execution issues in his mind was to run the same plays more times. He ignored, of course, the physical fatigue this caused the players and boom, you get guys exhausted come game day.
Given Les' mentality and acumen, him being this stupid would not shock me. He probably thought they were just energetic enough to not get tired despite more strenuous practices.

How many times did we hear Les blame poor offensive performance on "Execution"? It was never about doing exactly what the defense expected you to do like run into the 8 and 9 man front for a whole game. It was never about being too predictable. With Les is was always blamed on lack of execution. Thus he would run 80 plays and believe it was going to be better. Big Fail.

Shepard went down with instant contact throughout his career. He was fast and shifty but a bump and he was going down.
I agree he was fast but shifty he was not.He did not have the ability to cut and maintain speed or quickly regain speed. He pretty much ran in a straight line and if there was a hole he could blow thru it.

From listening to Coach O I believe we will no longer see runs into 8-9 man fronts. It sounds like the offense will actually seek out the weaknesses on opposing teams defenses for a change. That change I do believe will be obvious this weekend
