#LSU used 4 true receivers once last week. O on that: "Not ready to make a living out of that. Not well versed in it." What are you versed in exactly Coach?

They have 2 weeks to make this a better football team in all three phases, or their will be another beatdown coming, but this time in Gainesville to a very mediocre Florida team.

Jeezus, One drive they moved the ball around on short passes and it worked well. I don't get how a friggin millionaire offensive specialist doesn't understand how quick outs help a horrible line. Put them in the gun and run 8yd routes until they aren't sitting on the run every damn play.

Preach brother!! It's not hard. Short passes are the easiest to complete and will stop teams from blitzing the house

This is EXACTLY right. Use WR screens all of them, RB screens, dump off pass, the z route, double move the shite out of the defense, use that aggressive DL/front seven against them. Teams used to do it to LSU and still do all the time. Once you hurt them a few times then start getting a little more fancy with your offense. Gain some momemtum, get your entire offense some confidence, into a rhythm, make the defense's guess. Then start running the ball in the open holes you create with uncertainty. Start out passing short make them come up, then use double routes to throw deeper passes. Use one WR to hurt them short, have the same WR run his typical short stuff while sending another one of our big arse TE looking WRs on a short post and have him use his body to block out the defender to make the catch, break a tackle and go for a TD or big gain. This isn't all that complicated. We could put (2) back in and have one run a flat route while faking some type of draw play or give it to the draw guy. Space these OLman out and run some draws and screens to create big holes in the defense. Hey Canada and O, JUST be MORE CREATIVE!! Don't run on first down everytime and don't run the same routes everytime. Etling game plan in practice looking at Chark and then turning to another big WR on the other side of the field, or to the back in the flat on the other side of the field. They are almost always wide arse open. Actually game plan this in practice, be smart fellas.

Yeah, I can't really agree with the coaches on this one. The offense was supposedly installed long ago and no issues were reported. Maybe there's a reason Mr. Canada changes teams every year or two. I hope I'm wrong. I must admit, I don't like having o-linemen move around prior to snaps. Too much confusion which leads to penalties. Just get up there and snap the damn ball!

Not very confidence inspiring and I like CEO. Hopefully we';; get it together and compete! Want nothing more than to be competitive every game.

Spring through Fall all we heard was the offense was ahead of schedule, how fast the players learned the offense, and how that was the fastest he has ever installed his offense with a new team. On game day all we see is WR pre-snap motion with heavy running from under the center in a 1-back formation on 1st and 2nd down.

SIMPLIFY!?!?!? we already know what play is coming before you run it! for heavens sake… add something to it!!! I thought this was supposed to be a spread em out, mis-direction, lots of motion, hard to identify system??? we've seen the same FOUR plays over and over and over and over again.

This may have been something better left unsaid Coach O. At least not publicly for the love of god!!! If we've already decided to simplify the offense that's been on display the first 3 games this team will be lucky to have a winning record at the end of this season. The only thing complex about this offense seems to be getting the plays called in time and our RB's trying to avoid whichever offensive lineman that's been steamrolled into the backfield on every GD snap!!!!!

Can't wait to see more dive plays. Les Miles will be proud.

You're wrong. It's motion the tight end and slot receiver to the weak side, then motion your wide to the same side, then run to the unprotected side.....

If I didn't know any better I'd swear some of our fans would be happier being right and LSU sucking rather than being wrong and LSU being successful.

Its called catastrophe syndrome. Nick Saban diagnosed LSU with it in 1999 and its been in remission until a flare up in 2012. It is now stage 4 and malignant due to drama queen fans.

how can it get any more simple? it looks like a wing t high school offense is this just another way of saying that offensive line play needs to step up
user avatar
luciouslou80 months
Actually the wing t is very complex
user avatar
lsucoonass80 months
really? I never found the wing t to be complicated at all. unless my high school coach just ran a terrible version of it (this wouldnt be that surprising) and im saying that as an offensive lineman.

Maybe, they can try the veer. Blocking scheme is as follows: 1) Block player on you. 2) Block player over you. 3) Block nearest player play side. 4) Block nearest player back side. Can't get much simpler than that, but at least someone may get blocked...

The problem is that the left side of the line hasn't proven they can do the first one yet.

We haven't been great but, I don't find this offense as frustrating as what we were running under Les. At least we convert 3rd downs at a decent rate and the stars don't have to align just right to complete a forward pass.

Could be bc it's only been 4 games. Imagine us still having this offense in 10 years.

The fact we are still discussing this topic speaks volumes about this inept coaching staff. Mediocre staff is mediocre

I have zero confidence in this taff right now. They seem lost as we are as fans but the difference being we were bamboozled by some con men acting like geniuses. The Long Con LSU style.

I can see the rational in that, with imprlementing a new offense and all, but it shouldn't take to game 4 to realize that you need to simplify things.

We have a major problem with coaching. It doesn't get much simpler than that.
