It was quite well done with regards to breaking up the issues. I do hope , as the author suggested, that this OL would be the right mix up now and what remains is merely tweaking of penalties, butterfingers and RB/TE blocking.

Good article. Thanks for posting.

A very sound report, but i know we aren't this damn bad.

I believe if the team improves in just one of the 257 areas the writer listed, it might have a domino effect, leading to improvement in other areas. My biggest hope: the o-line mans up and performs as it must if we're to have a great season.

Thanks for the link. A fair assessment from the author.

I think the writer hit the nail on the head about the loss of Honey Badger. It isn't just his talent we lose; it's the swagger he gave the team last year. He's an enormous loss and cannot be replaced. The Auburn game this year might well have gone the way the Arkansas and Georgia games went last year if he were playing.

Does this mean we can give up on this season now?

Russ Mitchell is a negatiger.

If there is any lesson learned by the Miles coaching tenure by now it would be "resistant to change." Outside of recruiting, it's the most dominant trait of his coaching tenure. In game, in season....things rarely change and if so, do it very very slowly

And this guy isn't a delusional nega-tiger who thinks the sky is falling. This is a rational, unbiased analysis of a plethora of very troubling things about this team. For the LSU fans that attack those of us who are more, shall we say, reality based, this should get your attention and make you realize we aren't the only ones who don't think everything will come up roses for this Tiger team.

I thought Mitchell was spot on about the O-line, especially about the lack of experience. Yes, we had to deal with injuries last year, but the subs were seasoned veterans, not youngsters like V. Alexander. With the D-line, the players play a bit more independently, and it's easier to plug one guy in for another. The movement of the O-line is a bit like a ballet, and it takes some time to get comfortable with your place in the "dance." I didn't know that the O-line last week wasn't directly responsible for any of the sacks. If true, that's somewhat encouraging, and I hope with a bit more seasoning, this new combination might be the solution.

Our coach is NOT an offensive line guru.

great article, and I particularly agree with this:

Some have suggested that LSU needs a challenge to rally around; that being three touchdowns plus favorites in all of their game's so far has not provided them the focus/confidence they got from the Oregon games last season.
If this is true, then LSU may not be a championship team in 2012. Championship teams do not need tricks or competition to remain focused on the task at hand.
