I've been beating this drum for a while now.


I still think the execution of plays is a bigger problem than the actual plays being called in as it should be obvious to everyone, regardless if it's coming from GC or LM.

In theory, execution is paramount.

In reality, play calling is supposed to give your players an advantage by increasing the probability that they will be able to execute.

If you call the wrong play, exection can be next to impossible.

I agree for the most part.
If a few nicely thrown balls had been caught by our reception challenged receivers, the stats would look better.
Shepard you kind of expect being his first year as a receiver.
TT should be ashamed.

where does dropping passes, throwing behind, below, and over the head of your recivers, throwing ints and not seeing wide open guys in pass routes fit in to your theory?

Just curious.

True. There is no reason for us to have so many stupid penalties on offense. To false starts or a holding call can kill a drive.

actually, wrong. rarely is there only one play or one option called on a play.

we rarely have one wr run a route w/o the authority for the qb to choose other than his primary option.

rarely there is only a run play or a pass play called. usually both are called and the qb has the authority to check into the other play, depending on what the defense shows.

Here is my question... Does our offense EXECUTE the option in practice and then totally f it up in a game?? Any decent OC would have scrapped that play a year ago.

on one hand, the offense must execute better. See JJ's bounce passes late in the game, drops by the WR.

On the other hand, playcalling has also been bad. See option plays withh JJ, calling screen passes at the wrong time, etc.

When execution and playcalling is bad, you have a bad offense. Plus, the guy calling the plays is the QB coach, which is the one significant weakness on this LSU team. Add all that together and it = 102

if you had a passing game, you would care less about the option.

Fair enough. I was speaking to our situation. I don't see JJ calling many audibles.
