So what was different about Alabama and Ole Miss?

Serious question - why could Jefferson all of sudden spot open receivers against these two teams and not anyone else?


I really don't think he had to in those games. For the Alabama game, in the second half, I think Les just let it all hang out and said "let it all out and throw to Randle down field". No thinking needed, just an arm.

That's the only way Jefferson is going to be successful, by taking chances down field and relying on the talent of players like Randle/Toliver/Deangelo Peterson to finish the plays.

When JJ rolls out of the pocket on pass plays he is generally more successful.

It buys him time to see things downfield (or take off if nothing is open), and masks the OL deficiencies.

That was the difference between the Ole Miss/UNC/Bama games and the really bad games.

You'll notice that he sits in the pocket on the games where he stinks.

So the "let it all hang out" strategy was solely responsible for his play?

If so, why didn't we implement the "let all it hang out" strategy against Arkansas?

You're wrong, but it's a cute theory.
