re: LSU Coach Cameron explains pass protection

Anyone else notice the Wr's had no separation last year? I assumed they were running bad routes.

1) Almost universally 2 (or even 1) receiver routes because of the run game and max protection schemes (Note: this video addresses the fallacy of "max protection")

2) LSU had no TALL and fast receivers of note. OBJ had to assume a role that was not his best. This year, Travin Dural will lift the top off of the D (think Reuban Randle)

3) I read that the entire route running has been changed. Last season, they used "chop or stutter step" cuts. This season, it is "plant one foot and go" theory

4) There were many alignments and personnel groupings that only had ONE play associated with it. This year, many plays can come from every alignment

5) TEs and RBs will catch passes.


There will be faster execution, better timing, AND separation in the passing game.
