So one of our fastest players got caught by a towson defender? We are fricked then. Shep is elusive, but no way hes faster than ford or beckham or some of the dbs.

LOL...Just like we used those parts of the playbook on 1/9/12.

We're saving them for 10/6/15.

Ha ha. I swear I was just about to say this.

That secret playbook we unleashed against Bama after having a month to prepare was pretty amazing. It definitely wasn't the same old bullshite we had been doing.

My goodness..wow. First of all, just because a db plays for towson doesn't mean that he's not fast...second, the guy had a great angle and Shepard still scored. I'm not saying that he's faster than Beckham or ford but straight line speed isn't the most important thing in a runner.

Shep had a pretty big run against Bama IIRC correctly. I think he let up a little once he broke free and didn't see that dude. Then he turned it on and still scored.

I want to believe you are right and we did use a very vanilla offense.


Hopefully we'll be able to execute the "Secret Playbook Offense" more effectively than the "Vanilla Offense".

Only an idiot would think secret plays would work on 1-9-12.
Nothing else worked. What are you going to do, run 55 or 60 secret plays?

There are no secret playcalls for when you can't hold LOS.
Lee wouldn't have saved LSU.
Mett wouldn't have saved LSU.
Even Breesus wouldn't have saved LSU according to Mr May.

there is no way that any of the LSU starting dbs is faster than shep and I would bet the farm that ford isn't either. obj might be good race but I would still bet on shep.

thanks, just proved my point.







We have the inane speculation down pat around here.
Still waiting for the intelligent discussion part because I don't think the secret playbook references are very intelligent, for example. We won't even go into the blather about who should or should not be playing, for how long and for what plays.

ok, again:
please show me where you forecasted any plays like the fake fg's?

please show me how you have KNOWN what miles is gonna call for the last 7.25 years.

i appreciate you can attack the supposition of no secret plays, but HOW? can you prove that you are that smart that you have always known the next play?

you mention "inane speculation", yet you use inane speculation to say it isn't true.

you want to talk "intelligent" based on past plays that you had no idea were going to happen.

you can outthink lem b/c you know:

yes, this is speculation based on intelligence.

and i specualte that you don't understand except to your own level of understanding. that is a sign of intelligence.

Because I don't know the next play doesn't mean there is this "secret playbook" that Les is going to unleash at some unnamed point in the future. Do you? For certain? All the time?

I don't and neither do you or any body not on the LSU staff. It's ALL speculation.

I don't have to be Les to read that stuff on this very site. It's easy enough for anybody that can read.

So it is "intelligent speculation"?

I think Shep runs or ran a 4.4- 4.45, so there wouldn't be enough difference to matter on the field.

I thought Saban's recommendation was Houston Nutt as his successor.

Play selection should not matter when you are LSU and you are playing something called a "towson". What the frick is a towson?


I agree. We have much better athletes and should be able to run whatever plays we want with success. It's about 11 players all playing with maximum intensity & focus...on every play. And I'm only talking about EFFORT right now...the fumbles and penalties are ridiculous after 5 games. I sure hope that our greatest improvement will come b/w game 5-6 this year...or we might be in trouble.

Their is no secret playbook so stop with that. Miles is a big 10 guy. Run the football until you stop us and even then continue to run. Until the line blocks, we are screwed, if we don't switch to the shotgun. By doing so gives Mett more time to throw the ball and to see the entire field. We need to start throwing more on 1st down and the players need to execute. You can have the best plays, but if you can't execute, you are turrible. Lineman need to block, receivers need to catch and Mett has to just take the sack instead of trying to make a play and then fumble.

oh, you answer questions w/ questions?

first, you attack the positive speculation that i offer with nothing.

so, is your speculation negative, or just attacking?

is it insane or inane to attack what YOU think is inane?
