LSU Wide Receivers

I think Johnson's drop may have just been freshman jitters. I think the others are due to what Coach Miles referred to in his post game press conference. There are a few guys that know they are going to start/play no matter what, and perhaps now they are taking those snaps for granted.

Harris' numbers end up looking ok if the drops become catches. He would have been close to 200 yds and 2TDs.

However, he also needs to make sure he isn't deciding where he is going before the play starts as LF7 was doing jumping jacks on the one play.

i agree...in the Syracuse game...minus the throws he threw away or got batted down the rest hit the WR hands...The EM game he had a few throws he could of done better with but with any effort from the receivers they were still catch-able. He def isnt getting any help from the WR this year...much like Jennings didnt get any last year...they are missing the pitch and catch wide open passes as well

man will you people shut the frick up. always something different to bitch about. The receivers are fine. They don't get the ball enough their way to complain about. LSU's passing attack is non existent so for.

Lets face it, some of our WR's are gifted athletically but are not good at catching the ball and some are good at catching but not very athletic. Only Dupre is good at both. Put in Dupre and our possession receivers and let Dural ride the bench until he learns to catch.

LSU has a lot of talent at WR. Yes, there have been some drops, and that's going to happen. Every NFL team has drops. But, I think some of the inconsistency can be attributed to their lack of involvement. They still have to make those catches, but I think there could be an issue of them pressing somewhat when they get their chance to make a play. These guys are playmakers, and I'm sure many of them had high expectations about the contribution they would make this year.

Through four games, the receivers haven't really established a consistent rhythm with Harris. There have been some opportunities to establish that rhythm against four subpar Defenses:

Total Defense Rank (from ESPN)

Mississippi State - 70
Auburn - 93
Syracuse - 48
Eastern Michigan - 118


It's obvious that LSU doesn't have much confidence/trust in the passing game yet because at the times when these games were close, the go-to guy was Fournette.

There was an effort to get the passing game going vs. Eastern Michigan in the first half, but that just didn't happen for a variety of reasons (one of those reasons is that the offensive line has had some problems with pass pro), then it just became a ground attack only. The people who get excited about Fournette winning the Heisman may not like this idea, but I think it would be beneficial for the team in a number of ways (especially when looking at upcoming games vs. good SEC Defenses) to spread the ball around more to different players.

Few live game passing reps equals more attention placed on few live game incomplete passes. Signed ANY passing game coordinator !!!!! And the system continues broken!
