I think which ever QB comes to LSU needs a powerful OL to block for them. All the proof you need is to look at what the Titans did to Tom freakn Brady. Even the greatest QB of all time isn't worth a damn if the time isn't given to him to makes his reads.

Another prime example is Drew Brees. Yes he does the the ball out fast BUT when he needs time he knows where to step in the pocket to give himself time and has time to wait for that big post pattern to open up. If a QB doesn't have time then you better have a route tree which gets the ball out of the QBs hands fast.

That's what I don't understand about LSU. LSUs offense needs to start with quick route trees when starting a game while mixing in some run game to soften that defense up. When you feel the momentum swing your way and the DL is tired, then you run the longer developing route trees.

I know it was Rice but LSU has the middle and the flats wide open this year almost all year so Burrow and this staff need to work on that type of game plan for the rest of this year and into next year. Chart your darn plays. Orgeron should hire a badass charting assistant who can help Steve E come up with a series of plays and especially when it comes to the RZ. LSU needs to have a more creative/aggressive set of plays when it comes to the RZ. Much more movement, end arounds, flee flickers, roll outs, HB passes, Wild cat plays designed to throw the ball. Look for the TEs, FBs, HBs and have pieces moving all over the place to get the eyes moving. If you line up in a box with 2 or 3 of your typical WRs running their typical route tree then of course you will have trouble getting TDs.

I think our OL of the future is actually an All SEC and in some cases AA OL we have coming. I really do. Our center and guards will be some of the best pulling OLman in the country. We need that tenacious attitude back!!

Yes to all of that. Having said that Florida and Bama adjusted and tightened up their pass defense and took away the short stuff. Had we been able to run through routes and progressions we might challenge them. But we do not,pass protect well,enough to do that. Even MSU to,an extent took away any longer developing pass play.

We could not pass protect against Southeastern.
