Miles and Cam better not let these guys down.

I don't think it is the predictability. It's really not. You still have to stop what you know is coming. Predictability can help you lull your opponent to sleep.

It's the inability to use that predictability to your advantage. Cam did that in the bowl game. On third and four when everyone knew it would be a toss sweep Cam dialed up Quinn on a deep ball. Quinn was open for a touchdown and the ball was thrown short, and bounced around on the turf.

We lost a great chance to score, or you can say we should have just gone for the first. But CAM DID MIX IT UP but Brandon failed to perform. That's a pass that should be overthrown never under thrown and bouncing on the ground. Cam can't play the game.

But in that instance, he set it up perfectly.

We lost the games in November due to our O line not getting the holes. That's where we lost the down the stretch. It was all line play. Bama's D line whooped our O line. That's the game in a nutshell. And Brandon went into a fog....

Great point Panzer.

The biggest problem with our passing is that we go deep or not at all most of the time. We have hardly any short to intermediate passing game.

I believe they finally realize they have to be more creative on offense and are going to try to add things like a middle and short passing game next season, or at least I hope so.

No. I'm sick of that too. We either toss to RB or throw the ball 15+ yds downfield. Predictability allows teams to destroy your gameplan as long as they can come halfway close to matching up physically.

We have to add passes to the FB(saw it once during the bowl game), quick slants, etc to keep defenses on their toes. Yes, Harris needs to not throw a 5yd pass at 80mph. The point is that someone other than LF7, Guice, or a WR downfield has to draw attention from at least one or two defensive players. Otherwise, the D can just plug holes.

and how about if we look at it from another direction....all of these guys returning had better not let Cam and Miles down...

That too

Play calling has been abysmal though.

Funny, but how? If you mean this is the time when Charlie kicks the bitch in the count, you may be right.

I'm hopeful, but guarded... hence the thread.

That is the definition of unpredictable. But until aTm & TX Bowl we had been completely predictable. And Saban smothered us because of that.

2 offensive linemen will return so they can improve their draft status and if Miles doesn't win a national championship, you think he should be fired.

---

You are a blithering idiot. I said nothing of the sort.

Imagination and effort. That's all I'm looking for.

quote:

What if Brandon Harris continues to throw the ball into the ground

---

Then it's on him.

quote:

---

Might want to watch those 3 losses again and tell me 5 NFL linemen could have made those poorly thrown balls completions.

---

You watch those games again and see how many times everybody in the fricking building knew what was going to happen.

When you overmatch a team physically, its ok. When the other team at least comes close, predictability is enormous.

Meanwhile, the pumpers avoid expecting a great season like the plague.

The negas see nothing but gloom and doom even when LSU wins.
No matter the margin of victory, it is: "LSU played down to the opponent, Miles took his foot off the gas, LSU lacks the killer instinct, that opponent wasn't any good, LSU won because of luck, LSU would have lost if..........., LSU will never beat (XXXXXX) if they play like that."
