He said you limit your options when you spread it out. He said that the biggest plays come off of play action and that's why we go max protect - because we feel that play action is the best. Said that's what they do in the NFL.

Makes sense. We didn't want to limit our options, so we sent 2 WRs into routes and kept everyone else in to protect to, you know, not limit our options.

Yes the NFL was doing that in the 80s and 90s Jerry. We know.

That's old school NFL

Not new school

We need a complete fricking enema of our offense.

In a day where young offensive minds are changing the way offense is played, we had/have two old geezers running ours

He also argued the Model T is the best vehicle on the road.

It’s wild.

You can run PA out of 11 personnel shite you can run it with 1 RB in the backfield.

Did he also advocate for the return of leather helmets?

So much for the coaches taking any notes from Clemson.

The WR can run some type of option route if he has time. Ie more options. this isn’t really ground breaking or anything.

YEP, seems like there is nothing wrong with our scheme and play calling, just need to get better talent.

I’d be willing to be my left nut, right nut and both big toes Jerry Sullivan has forgotten more about football than you’ve ever almost known.


You people never cease to amaze.

You also left out that he said going 5 wide sounds great in theory, but you still need someone to hold blocks. Point being, again, the offensive line hindered the entire offense.

That quote... wow.

I’m not going to trash E or Sullivan; they’ve indicted themselves, IMO.

LSU needs a rethink of it’s offensive philosophy. Orgeron needs to take a lesson from Saban and Gary Patterson by hiring young assistants to run a ‘young’ offense.

I still think Orgeron is smart enough to realize this and get things changed.
