re: How come we don't drop back and throw to our running backs out the backfield?

You are a complete D-Bag. I surely hope you are not this much of a puss with the other endeavors in your life.

I'm convinced Hurricane Mike is Conan Freezy of the ESPN boards... and he is a Piggy fan. Been posing as LSU for years.

On a large number of plays there was a running back there as a safety valve but we never used it due to Mett getting a ton of time to throw and receivers getting open. They were there we just didn't have to use them.

Hope this helps.

Running backs missed two blocks that led to sacks Saturday.

They should still be running laps.

They need to be able to block. Even for a pass to one of them.

I'm not downing them. It only happened twice. But both times resulted in Mett sacks.

I would welcome this wrinkle if they can execute.

North shore76, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but I do think that this team will show as little as possible until the bama/ aTm game. What purpose would it serve to announce to the world that team can pass to the te's/rb's?

I know you have many post to read, and u thank you for reading mine.

We did send them out. Not sure how much but it did happen. I distinctly remember Blue wide open in the second half out near the right sideline. But like always Mett hit one of the WR's over the middle for a big gain.

We did it and I suspect we will do it more when the WR's aren't having luck getting open. Until that happens though why send a back out to catch a pass when he can stay back and give time to mett to make a 20 yard strike!

Dude it's the first mother frickin game! One game and mett is heisman, we can't run, we don't pass to backs or TE, rasco and welter suck, Martin and Loston take bad angles, brazil needs to be our kick returner, mett for heisman, Landry and Beckham leaving for draft after both have 1,000 receiving. That about sums up the rants thoughts for the season after 1 game. Sorry for drinking

it doesn't make sense to use easy stuff like TE's and RB's

When the WR's are getting open deep and catching the ball. I guess you would want a quick drop to a TE or RB 5 yards down the field over hitting Landry for 20?

And you wonder why Les makes $4million a year and you still live with your mom?

When you have an athlete you try to force to be a QB for 4 years and he struggles to get 100 yards passing in games and does things like run the option out of bounds and plays hot potato with Bama in the national championship game it absolutely does not make sense to try an easy dump off pass to one of the most productive RB groups in the country.

RBs are typically a safety valve on most pass plays.

We're not throwing to them because or WR's did a damn good job of getting open on Saturday.


Now...if you're talking about a designed TB Swing with blockers out front, then I'm sure we'll see it at some point

That's one area we definitely need to work on. We had several screens called but all were snuffed out and Mett threw it away.

As many positives as there were that's one aspect we need to improve on in execution because we have the personnel to be a good screen team IMHO. We're leaving cards on the table if we don't take advantage.

they weren't just snuffed, Blue was held and nearly taken to the ground on one of them. Should have been a penalty called.

I think we are going to see passes to the RB's particularly with RB's like Blue and Magee who are good recievers.

we have a new O coordinator and he is going to utilize all weapons. Check the TCU game. Big plays from the o like we haven't seen in a long time.

Dude, you mention this every 2nd post. A message board is about expressing ideas, but folks know your only thought....only a toddler or a retarded person would just keep saying the same thing when no one is asking nor responding.

I'll take your word on that and it's probably true, but there were more than one snuffed out. And in watching the replay, we got away with a couple of holds ourselves. That's not gonna be good enough going forward.
