So we show our hand for opposing teams to get game footage to prepare for us?

I've heard this argument and acknowlege that getting JJ some snaps against inferior competition may help get him back up to speed. He's well experienced as we saw and I would have rather Les say he's redshirting this year and then threw him into the Alabama game when we needed him. They may not have spent much time preparing for him and, like against Kentucky, he may have proved useful to keeping the chains moving. If CLM is the poker player that some say he is, not showing his hand until needed then this would have been more plausable to that theory. Another benefit would have been that he would not have been welcomed back to playing with boos in Bryant Denny Stadium verses Tiger Stadium.

Sooooo, you think the plays we ran using JJ against KY were new plays ? the only plays we can use him in ? what ?

There's miles of film with JJ running all of those plays from last year.

CLM showed he is back. In shape. Ready to play. Etc. Now, Florida has to account for him in practice this week.

Is Ol Piss still running read? Gumps have them a couple games ahead of LSU and it wouldn't be that big of a deal.
Better to practice scheme with OL in game situations than unleash a big surprise that you can't execute, imo.
Besides, I doubt CLM would be quite so underhanded.

Soo, you want JJ's first live action to come against the Bama defense?

You may not like Miles' strategy but it's one virtually every coach subscribes to. You make your opponent spend practice time on everything in your repertoire, knowing you'll only use a small subset of it in the game.

Good thing you aren't our head coach. You want to assume that we won't be challenged by anyone before Bama. That includes Florida, Tenn and Auburn. No coach in America would make that assumption. Then, you want JJ's first live action to be against the best defense in the country. Trust me, the coaches are much more interested in JJ getting back to the speed of the game than pulling some junior high surprise on Bama.

Watching LSU the past two years, I don't know what people are talking about. LSU isn't holding anything back.
