I think it's good if your QB can make good descisions as to whether he should keep it or handoff, and if you have a good o-line.

The zone read with Ridley vs Arkansas was horrible. Our o-line couldn't block for it and Ridley was too slow to do anything without the o-line holding up.

That is a major part of the problem, RP was a good option QB.

Not a slam at all on JJ or JL...but neither are.

And it is not especially effective when we run it wide.

The point is, why the option?

I'm laughing my arse off at the people who think the offense is going to magically get fixed. It will be the exact same shite next year.

Zone Read is only effective with Vince Young or when you change up the read point(play side end, play side 3 tech, and the most popular backside end)

LOL @ anyone who thinks they know how to scheme an offense because they can run plays on X-box. Any scheme or play for that matter can be successfull is the players execute their assignment.

I know. You're so deeply entrenched in the program that it must be hard not to laugh at people like that. You're so smart. Reading your posts gives me a feeling like I'M IN THE MEETING ROOMS WITH THE COACHES!

Is it hard for you to go out in public without being bombarded by fans and media trying to get your "inside" knowledge?

It's not about changing the offense. You don't have to change the offense to "fix" it, you just have to execute it. It does not matter what kind of scheme you run or play you call... if everyone does not execute their assignment, it's not going to work. Sometimes if you have an outstanding QB, they can overcome some other players not executing their assignment but when you have a young QB that is more worried about making a mistake than making a play, everyone better execute their assignment.

Maximus you know your e-presence frightens me so I would appreciate it if you didn't stalk me in these threads. Why I'd be so scared I don't know what I'd do.

Huh? You realize that atleast 25% of college offenses now use the zone read as a staple play, none of whom have Vince Young.

-Texas ran it with McCoy
-Florida ran it with Tebow (they did it more off the 3-tech like you're talking about but it's still the same concept)
-TCU has been running it for years (they like to pull a guard however and give it a veer action but it's still a zone read)
-WVU ran it with Pat White
-South Florida ran it with Matt Grothe
-Oregon has been running it for ages

Also, I never said I wanted to exclusively run it off the backside end. If ya do this then defenses will just start crashing their backside ends to dictate a QB pull and then scraping their OLBs over and your QB will be in a wheelchair by the second quarter.

The zone read is perfect for some many reasons. It is VERY easy to learn. It's easy to block for. It slows down the defense's pursuit. And (arguably most important of all) it has the most genuine and simple look to play action out of. It's difficult (if not borderline impossible) to play action out of a speed option. It is however very easy to play action out of the zone read and it'll hold the LBs long enough to open up seems and freeze the DEs long enough to give the QB time to throw.

The feeling is mutual. I always get a good laugh at people like you that talk out of their arse about what our coaches do or don't do when they have never set foot inside the football complex. It's pure speculation on your part offered as fact and it's a joke. You have seen others post on here that Les does not actually coach so you repeat it as fact when the fact is if you have ever been to a practice you would know Coach Miles is very involved in coaching the players and has a very firery personality on the practice field. But hey, by all means, deflect the point of my post becasue you know you are full of shite and give us another great nugget of knowledge from your personal experience with the LSU program.
