re: Qb set for at least 6 years

What?? It was our best offense in quite some time. He almost passed for 20 TDs and 3000 yards last year. That was without an elite RB, injuries to our OL all year, no TEs, and WRs who were either young or just wasn’t ready for big time football.

Each player feeds off of the next so with a complete offense that is healthy I think you will see a huge difference in year two for them all. Burrow was brand spanking new to this team as well so they all had to build a relationship which really couldn’t happen in the time they had together. That should also change this year. Burrow also had to gain the respect of his fellow players which is now established so if he goes knocking on one of the WRs doors now and says come catch some balls, they will more than likely go catch some balls.

Everyone saw what he and Jefferson was doing out there, now imagine that with 2 or 3 more WRs, the TEs and the RBs. IMO the OL got better blocking for the scheme and Burrow toward the end of the year because they knew what to expect from him and he new what to expect from them.

It’s a team sport and they all have to work together in an imperfect environment to make it work the best possible way. People love to blame the scheme but I saw open field and WRs going the wrong way many many times. I also saw where they actually did run the right routes on time and hit for some huge yards so the scheme had nothing to do with it and we will all see that this year.

It’s still going to be Steve’s offense except with some help from Brady with getting the guys on the same page and running it at a faster pace while he also brings some read option and RPO to the offense. The scheme was good imo. The team wasn’t all together just yet was more of the issue. If we don’t see that change this year then I will finally agree that things have to change on that side of the ball. We will have all the pieces this year and we’ll have depth on the OL. It’s their job to have the 1st and 2nd team offense ready in case of injury.

Last year there was really nothing they could do. This year will be different and really is no excuses. I’m actually counting on a very good season in 2019 from the Tigers. If not then maybe it is time to start checking and putting feelers out to other coaches to see where they stand and how they look at LSU. Anymore than 2 losses and I’m looking if I’m the AD. I’m expecting us to repay Florida and A&M while beating Texas and the remaining schedule besides Bama. I wouldn’t mind seeing a loss to either Texas or maybe Florida but beating Bama either. I think a 1 loss LSU team gets us into the playoffs especially if we blow some teams out along the way and play close to who ever the loss would be against.

It’s time we start playing dominant football again and show that we now have some depth to hang with anyone. GT
