The O line is not the entire reason for the offensive stalemate

E should go with the plays that are short strike and don't need 3-4 seconds of protection. Of course it would be nice to have a perfect o line; however, not many do. It all comes down to offensive play calling and working with what the defense gives you.
If they blitz 6 every time you change the damn play to counter. It's just not practical to put everything on the fatties. E needs to plan ahead for this but I'm guessing he has nothing installed for the looks he has seen defensively.
What's a logical answer with what we have?

Completely agree. A spread would take advantage of our WRs and QB and reduce the requirements of our O Line. But E and O are stuck in the Miles way of thinking on offense

Has to call a quicker/shorter route tree.
If you have protection issues, call quick developing pass routes and use the damn rb in the passing game.
If they dink and dunk it will allow you to take 4-5 deep shots in the game and slow the pass rush

Os Prob just watching Ozark season 2 laughing at people talking shite on here .
O is basically a younger Les Miles. Obviously they are different cats but they need DC/OC.
SE was NOT the answer at OC. LSU has enough talent to still win 9 games. With a dominant O line and a decent playcaller we can play with anyone.

You make an amazing point bud but I'm sorry, nothing of that desire will happen unless this OLine gets figured out. To me, it seems the right side of the line is the weak link. Traore can't move his feet to save his damn life and saying Lewis was the best lineman we have is the biggest load of bullshite I've ever seen. Either McGee or Deculus takes RT and whoever loses needs to take Lewis' spot. They have not caught up to SEC speed apparently

You're right. I watched an a+m OL that is completely outclassed by Clemson's DL have success all night by coming up with a cohesive offensive gameplan that was balanced and well executed considering the opponent.

O has zero clue of what offense he wants to run. All he knows is that he wants it to "look like" USC circa 2000-2006 or so (of course he doesn't take into account that Reggie Bush and the multitude of other all americans aren't on LSU's current team). O's offensive philosophy is "Hey. They're good. Do what they do!" even though he doesn't understand schematically "what they do."
The hope is that Ensminger isn't so set in his ways that he refuses to adapt game by game. He should feel absolutely no pressure not to do so either. What's the worst that can happen? He gets fired as OC...a job he really didn't want anyway?
O's not firing Ensminger, because doing so would be him admitting he is a buffoon (2 OC's in two years) after selling himself as the HC would would bring in the best OC in college football
There may not be an OC in college football who has less pressure than Steve. He may as well just let it rip.

While I agree there needs to be at least one slant option, out, hot route on every deeper play, there is a lot of risk throwing those short, quick passes - if the accuracy isn't there, a team that plays aggressively on those (Miami, Bama, etc.) is going to have some pick 6 opportunities.
It is not something you can just "do" casually, it has to be at least part of who you are to do that well.
And protection is part of that - if your OL collapses and the QB has to get it out without going through (even abbreviated) progressions, that's exactly when the interceptions will happen.

I agree - the blocking scheme needs to adjust to your personnel as well as the defense's personnel and scheme. Unlike defense, which largely relies on individual ability to react and physicality, an offense is a system - 11 players making up a whole.

Exactly what I was getting at. Just seems E hasn't prepared at ALL for the sell out blitz packages other teams will of course throw at a NEW QB.

The O line is not the enitre rason for the offensive stalemate
1. We can't run routes
2. E needs to get better at play calling to improve 3rd down conversion %
3. QB needs to improve completion %
4. O needs to stay away from the offense
and.......
O Line sux

why would we think a tight end coach who has been at LSU for years, most of them under Les Miles, could install an offense like the elites in the conference have done? Where would he have learned it at and where would he have had experience in running such an offense?

Tell the truth Monday, what the frick does that mean. How about we hit the field today to fix shite, not waste another day talking about it.

Why would we think the TE coach under Miles could install a great offense? The same reason we thought a DL coach could compete with Nick Saban.
