I am definitely not complaining about our offensive production Cameron is exactly what LSU's offense has been lacking over the past 6 years, but I thought one of Cameron's forte's was getting the TE more involved in the passing game. Haven't seen as much as I thought we would especially with Dickson and Smith available to him. I hope we see more of it today as I feel we are going to need them to produce for us.

ODB3 and Landry have a lot to do with not throwing to the tight ends much at the moment. They've been torching everyone and open on Metts first and second reads most of the season. Might not be the case today because Florida has some good DB's, but getting the ball in their hands has been the focus of the passing game. If Florida can take them away, which I seriously doubt, I'm sure you'll see more distribution to the tight ends and running backs.

I think today is the day we see 5-6 receptions from the TE. If we don't you wont see it the rest of the year because of how good the corners are for Flo-rida.

No just wondering why we have seen much production from the TE's considering most experts said that one of Cameron's forte's was getting the TE's involved in the passing game.

DeSean Smith came in heralded as a receiver playing TE and Dickson has always been thought of as a good pass catching TE, so if we have the weapons was wondering if anyone knew or had any thoughts as to why we have not utilized them that much so far.

Who needs a tight end when you have OBJ and Landry

Makes sense those were my thoughts and why I brought it up today, UF's corners I feel will be able to contain "not shut down" our wideouts and I feel if we want to move the chains our TE's are going to have to be more involved in the passing game today.

Would you like to see Dickson more involved? Not here.

I'd rather the best players get the ball, DeSean Smith clearly isn't ready yet.

2 nfl quality receivers, throw to the TE. Makes perfect sense to me

I agree I would rather see OBJ or Landry with the ball, but I think you will see UF"s defense try and take them away today whether with safety help or redirecting their routes. Either way I think our TE's are going to have to get involved for us to be able to open the field up for the wideouts. Nothing like TE's catching the ball down the middle to keep the safeties honest.

Im all for throwing to Dickson when he is completely ignored by the defense, outside of that, I'd rather we throw to OBJr and Landry in coverage
