Simplified Offense
Posted on 9/21/10 at 9:55 am

This is something that has been bothering since I read it. Why should LSU/Miles have to simplify the offense for QB's that should know the system by now? This isn't highschool where you have to play the hand thats dealt. There is no excuse for a 3 year starter to still be struggling running the offense and game plan. Blame it on coaching or players not being smart enough to learn and execute the system after 3 years.
There I got it off my chest. Carry On Rant!

It's really sad that a Junior cannot understand the offense. But you look at JJ's face when he gets the play call and confusion still persists. He really is one of the most unintelligent football players I've seen with his amount of athletic ability.
I'm not going to even get into the ignorant "unintelligent" comment.

Decent High School QBs can call out basic blitz packages. Jefferson lacks the simple ability to even audible out of that. Tell me how many times Jefferson audibles to a passing play in a given game. It's really sad.
Jefferson has checked off into a few pass plays already this year. Once against MSU where he hit Shepard for a pretty good gain. He's also signaled which side of the line Ridley should run to on one of the big runs against MSU. Greg Bowswer talked about both audibles during the Cox replay.

You disagree with this?

All the more reason why I said passing play. Not running play, passing play. So you gave me 1...Hmm in an SEC ballgame the QB had one audible. Pretty stellar right there.

He checked off into some slants against UNC and Vandy. Both times mentioned on the Cox replay.

Hey Mighty Yat, tell me why Jefferson can't throw the ball two yards out of the backfield. RS has to make a miraculous catch on almost every throw out of the backfield. He never hits the guy in stride. I've never seen an SEC QB that bad at that throw.
It's horrendous.
It's horrendous.

I've already said he has trouble with those throws.

And I think that's the whole point. It's basic execution. It's not hard. It's like a free throw, 3 foot putt, or throwing a baseball from 2nd base to 1st. It just takes concentration and focus. Both of which Jefferson lacks.
Posted on 9/21/10 at 10:15 am to jackson123
Really we get excited when he checks off once or twice a game? Seriously. He is a Jr and he still cannot read a defense. As in why he never checks off when there is 8 in the box, it makes no sense, I feel JJs football IQ is that of a highschooler

And what exactly is your answer? Lee's problem was he floated that shite out there and got them picked. The real answer is we need a QB coach.

You do realize not many college QBs check off plays at the LOS don't you?

For some reason I do not think that GC is the problem. We averaged like 34 points in 2008.
I believe the problem is the QB.
Here is my analysis of the Qb situation. It kind of relates to life. When learning to ride a bike if the training wheels are never taken off the person wont ever learn. Lee had training wheels for about half a game. He has the scars to learn from. JJ has had the training wheels his whole career. Some people never learn how to ride a bike. I believe that JJ couldn't ride a bike if the training wheels were taken off. JL is healed up and has his confidence back. Its time to ride again.

Based on what exactly? Look, the coaches can't be afraid to ask Jefferson to do more. He doesn't call the plays. If Jefferson indeed doesn't know th play book that's as much on the coaches as it is on Jefferson. They shouldn't play a QB that can't grasp the offense in 3 years. I just can't believe our coaches are that stupid. Although there's always a chance....

How does he look unintelligent?

Out of excuses.

This I agree with. I hated his "poor me, I'm still learning" shite he pulled last week. Kind came off as a little bit cry-babish.

This whole QB situation blows my mind. We are top tier program who could basically have any QB recruit we want. Instead we "dumb" down our offense to accommodate the ones we have. Makes No Sense!
If I owned a company and hired a guy to do a job. After his initial training he still couldn't grasp the job. I would fire him and find someone that could. That Simple!

That offense was so dumbed down for him last Saturday. If you are only going to trust your QB to throw 16 times in the game, you might as well play Russell Shep there.
