I covered all your pts in the post you were too busy to read but had time to critique something you have not read.

Miles and Cameron's goals for the passing game are laid out. I also included the info on the expanded route tree in the video and transcription from LF7.

They are having great success achieving their passing game goals.

I think history shows in his run/pass ratio that he prefers the run-heavy offense and uses it more than any other team.

After being ranked 6th and losing to MSST he was asked these two questions in succession and they contradict each other.

quote:
• Miles asked about why he LSU didn’t pass against State more and why they had a run-heavy game plan against a team that struggled against the pass: “I think you’ll look forward to seeing more balls in the air as we go forward.”

• Miles suggests that LSU would line up receivers Malachi Dupre and Travin Dural on one side of the field to attract four defensive backs and then “we will crush you” running the football, the coach said

Late in the year he said the offense's job was to not turnover the ball (failed here) and the defense's job was to get INTs, strips, scoop and scores. The D had the higher Scoring Efficiency on the Year.

The spread pass game is opening up the run and putting players in space - LF7 one-on-one, has and is currently running wild, but running into a stacked box he went nowhere. And that is the most dangerous type of football, slow and grinding.

Both QBs listed scrambling plays as their favorite: Jennings a scramble and run, like he did at A&M, Harris a scramble and TD toss thrown well at top NFL speed. Notice no one is near him and when he turns back to the pocket, Sione is out of play, and the center is open with Dodd blocking Trey L.

As far as anyone who thinks Harris would not have been able to scramble and get off the pass to DJ Chark: First there is a QB Scramble Rule in place to optimize our DTQBs as evidenced by the sustained offensive blocking while Harris is waiting for his TD target to get downfield and has the TE open and probably several other checkdowns. It was a scrimmage where the QBs were not live - no contact and the new concussion prevention rules in place put strict limitations on "full contact" to 3 scrimmages - the Spring Game is number 3. Miles first says in the Scrimmage 2 recap that "we have not had a lot of major concussion..I mean contact injury". Most concussions occur in practice and involve OL and RBs (Remember Josh Williford). LSU wears Vector mouthpieces to measure G forces for each hit and limits player contact after a certain threshold. They use the data to teach proper blocking, head up, to make drills like the Big Cat safer. Chavis just implemented this at A&M and was a big proponent of it while here.

If you have not watched Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, you should.

Spring practice guidelines: Of the 15 allowable sessions that may occur during the spring practice season, eight (8) practices may involve live contact; three (3) of these live contact practices may include greater than 50 percent live contact (scrimmages). Live contact practices are limited to two (2) in a given week and may not occur on consecutive days.
