re: Was last night a wasted 4 quarters of development for our young offense?

I think there was opportunity. I am not a believer in the super secret play BOOK but I do think they are setting up state just a bit.why else would they run 2 tight end sets that much? I seriously think they will be passing out of those formations this week.

Either this or the coaches know its not a very good team.

The Oline has been a huge disappointment thus far and was supposed to be the strength of the team. Last night looked like a Jordan Jefferson offense 2.0.
I did not see Jennings, look off a safety or turn his head as if he were going through progressions one time last night. He was locked on to primary who if covered than he ran. Very frustrating.

As much as the O seems to be lack lustre the D seems to be well coached ands improving. Equally frustrating for the view/development of the whole team.

they saints don't use a FB the majority of plays, bro

the seahawks use multiple WR formations also and a slight bit of zone-read

the 49ers run a ton of zone-read without a RB and 2-3 WRs...plus tons of pistol (which is a single-back offense)

look at CFB

look at the NFL

tell me that i-form is a modern offensive system as a primary offense

Yes you can look at it that way, but at least acknowledge that we pretty much do this once a season against one of the cupcakes where we run the same 6 plays the whole game. Doubt it's a coincidence it occurred before the SEC opener. I know your point is we can't afford to do it this year with so many young guys, we'll find out next week how valid that is.

They are definitely setting a few plays up. I can almost promise you next week when Hilliard is at fullback and LF is at RB in the I formation that they are going to fake the belly to Hilliard and flip it out to LF for a sweep.

I will say this sbout Jennings. He definitely commands the huddle well. Cant think of 1 delay penslty or an instance where he looked flustered before the play.

Tough to go through prgressions when the o line isnt blocking or there is only 1 wr running a route.

we don't practice things just like this in real games against our shite competition

because it's not practice, it's a game. Successfully running a play against shite competition really isn't indicative of it working against better competition. If it isn't successful vs. LSU's D in practice, you won't see it in actual games.

According to the rant, we were waiting for the SEC schedule to open up the secret playbook only seen in closed scrimmages and practices. Expect to see 5-Wide, zone read, and HUNH.

I think the I form could be effecetive with one of our other talented RBs at FB.

I sctually think Magee would be best fit. He is built like a bowling ball. He is an excellent blocker, good runner, and an excellent receiver. He would be s matchup problem for opposing defenses.

1. We have very talented WRs that can run after catch. 2. We have an avg at best QB that needs easy throws. 3. They are basically extended handoffs so they still wear out defenses like running plays. 4. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, It allows us to utilize our superior players.

It also spreads the defense and opens up the running game...what our staff wants to do anyway so why not do the things that make it easier to do so
