Death of the Bubble Screen
Posted on 10/20/14 at 3:06 pm

When did this occur? This is a play that seemed to always work. Moving the ball is about getting the fast guy the ball with space to work with, and this play accomplishes it. I can't remember if it was when Jimbo left or not. I just remember Dwayne Bowe going to work on this play.
One way to help a struggling QB is with easy passes. That and to hand it off a lot which LSU does. However, when Jennings does get a pass play called it always seems to be a slow developer, 5 step drop, low percentage pass. Surely there's someone we could get bubble screens, short pop passes to that can take the ball to the house.

We used to run the tight 4 wr jailbreak all the time with bowe
I could pre call the play every time they ran it
Yet it always worked

The bubble screen was hated on here. It was vilified like the short side option and the pitch power. My my my how times have changed.

That pass isn't all that easy. Its not far but it has to be gunned in there, and if you turn the receiver at all he is pretty much doomed.
And, I blame Jefferson that it doesn't happen any more BC he was awful at it

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Anything but toss dive.

Do it once in a while, not all of the time.
The problem with LSU is that we seem to find one play and call it over and over again. I wouldn't mind the short-side option once in a while - anything to spread the ball out a little bit. Everything now is between the tackles. Get the ball to the sideline once in a while and try to get the edge.
Also, throw it to the TE once in a while, too.

JJ ruined it. It doesn't help that AJ has similar problems. Requires accuracy to hit right. Guessing we won't be seeing it anytime soon.

Kentucky ran it several times, and we always blew it up.

Harris has the strength for it. When he gets dialed in, hopefully we'll see it out of the gun

Simple plays like that would open up the run game. You know what else helps? Screens.. Check downs to rbs.. RB swing routes. RB wheel routes.. Who am I kidding.. Let LF7 run those routes (he's shown against Sam Houston that he's got hands).
Match LF7 with a linebacker and LF7 should win most of the time.

Yep. The bubble screens were part of Crowton's offense, and don't work if A) you can't get personel on and off the field quickly, B) your QB isn't accurate, C) your opponent's DBs can make an open field tackle. The rant's call to arms back then was that Crowton/Miles were trying to be too cute, when we should be just lining up and running at teams or using play action. If you stay here long enough without getting sick of it you see people calling for the same things they were shite talking three or four years ago.

The db's always play our slots super loose. It's gotta work at least once a game

Bubble screens have gotten our defense a lot of TFL over the years

Cam has noticed this. One of the few bad passes Harris made against New Mexico state was a variation of the bubble screen he sailed. Jennings doesn't have enough zip to make it effective, Harris can't hit his man. Our offense and reason for lack of creativity culminated in one play.

Goes back further to Jimbo and seemed to represent the apex of conservative offensive thought for the coaches. It was run much like the current plays the staff overly relies on.

Skylar green ran the shite out of the BS

Yeah Jimbo ran it too, but not sure if I would describe the bubble screen as conservative. By design you leave at least one DB free to make a tackle, unless they just whiff on on the coverage. The play gambles on your WR being able to make a DB miss.
