Testosterone and Identity
Posted on 9/27/09 at 11:22 pm
Posted on 9/27/09 at 11:22 pm
This year's team can be summed up in two words: testosterone and identity.
I'll explain.
Our defense doesn't have a testicle's worth of testosterone among the entire bunch. They have zero attitude. There isn't anyone like a Kyle Williams, Chad Lavallais, or Glenn Dorsey that lines up with a bad attitude looking to destroy the offense for no other reason than the offense had the nerve to attempt to run a play. This defense simply doesn't have a attitude.
Our offense has an identity problem. Miles spent the last three years recruiting a specific type of skill player and offensive lineman to run Crowton's spread offense. Now Miles is dipping his hand into the play calling cookie jar and trying to force us to be a power team. This is not a power football team. The personnel to be a power team isn't there. Plain and simple. Miles needs to stop interfering with the play calling (yes, many of you will dislike that comment) and let Crowton run his spread offense.

I'd say the defense would be leadership if anything but I think pat pete and drake nevis have the potential to become those emotional leaders as well as dominant players

Peterson and Alem are the only players with attitude.

Peterson maybe, but Nevis only plays 1 in 3 plays. He takes the other two off and gets blow five yards off the line.

Harry Coleman's Got attitude, and Chad Jones

They certainly don't play like it.

Chad Jones and Patrick Peterson are clearly playing with that kind of attitude.

You clearly aren't watching the same football games I watched.

That is one of the funniest things I have ever read here.

I guess you missed the goal line stand.

I must have, what is that.

Go tell Rahim Alem he doesn't have testosterone

Lets be honest about the goal-line stand.
3rd down 1 foot to go -> failure to give ball to Dixon = stupid. Receiver was open. CJ makes good play. = Poor play call by Miss St.
4th down 1 foot to go -> QB option Dixon free for pitch with wide open field and lead blocker - QB holds onto the ball = stupid
LSU won but they didn't beat Miss. St. Miss St. lost the game because they gave it away through stupid play calling on the goal line.
Anyone that thinks differently needs to rewatch the game. Miss St. blew our d-line 5 yards back to the LBs almost every play. They line up at the goal line and our LBs come up and make plays, but our line was pushed backward on both first and second down. Then Miss St. decided to stop running straight at us. Miss St. gave the game away.
Don't get me wrong. A win is a win is a win. 4-0 is 4-0. But I would prefer for us to be beating the other team instead of winning because the other team gives it to us.

That is call outplaying the other team. I hope you know that FOOTBALL is all about play calling and coaching. DAn Mullen made the play, made the call and Les Miles in turn made the appropriate call.
If he had gotten the touchdown, he would have out coach miles, not the other way around. You can't simply say, that if they didn't do that mistake then they would have won.
If so then you can say the same for LSU. Stop giving other teams the benefit of the doubt, when it came down to it, miles made the call, he could have switch formation or change up personal but he put THAT group in.

I think maybe you should stop watching football.
So their playcalling was good enough to get them down the field, but on the same drive bad enough to not get 1 more yard?

Also, coaching isn't for you either. That was a great call by the OC, fooled 10/11 people. It was a better play by #3.
