I-Form Twins - Miles formation for Qbs he doesnt' trust?

i'd imagine we can't have that discussion until we know if jennings is seriously hurt or not

he likes to play power football. problem is out QB's are suited for the spread especially Harris. AJ is a gam manager with limited abilities. To fix this thing, Les has to get over himself and his desire to play Big 10 football in the SEC.

Should try this, might be a bit more spread then we've been

Weird that nothing has really come out on that yet.

I think Mississippi State is an eye-opening loss, similar to Florida in 2012. The problem though is that the 2012 had a ton of talent and was easier to work with.

If Harris doesn't know the offense (assuming he's the guy going forward), then put him in an offense that he can succeed in. Let him roll out, let him run the zone read, let him chunk the ball a little bit.

Also, LSU won't face a good passing quarterback for a month. We need to play aggressive on defense and force turnovers and force offenses to take risks on us. We have to help the offense out in some way. Obviously the offense was bad, but when you're giving up 570 yards, that's not good either.

As silly as it may sound (because if it goes wrong it could be disastrous), I think we need to take chances and risks on both sides of the ball. Shake things up.

I think it goes without saying that miles has trust issues with his QBs. And when he does we line in the I....all the fricking time.

Here's the bad part, if our Oline wouldn't play like hot garbage it wouldn't be a terrible thing.

There are 7 TE and Fullbacks on the participation report from last night, and only one of them is even remotely an offensive threat.

There were 5 WR on the report.

Those numbers seem like they should be reversed to me.

Jennings needs a fair chance to throw passes on downs that aren't obvious passing situations.

There were at least 3 or 4 throws last night where Jennings was delivering the ball before the receiver broke off his route (timing route).

That's advanced stuff. How many times did you see State doing that? Zero. And their quarterback is a lot better than what we have.

They're calling passing plays like we still have Mettenberger back there. It's pretty dumb. Run some crossing routes. Give him some rollouts and some easy throws. It's not that hard.

Jennings starts off every game with difficult throws that lead to incompletions, which leads to his confidence going down more than likely (except the SHSU game, but like SFP said maybe that was an outlier game entirely).

2011 made Les feel that he could sit on the ball for 2 quarters at a time and wait for the defense and/or special teams to ignite momentum. He really thought that Alabama played the same way. Bama was always way more balanced than us. They would pass early to keep you honest, then unleash Richardson, and then Yeldon the next year.

this is not how miles handles things. his entire philosophy is to avoid the floor (while sacrificing ceiling)

I have a feeling that wanting to deal with a floor with this fanbase is easier said that done.
