It's not as bad, but I got the same vibe from reading Minkah's comments that I used to get every time that a$$hole Barrett Jones said something.
There is no team more arrogant than Alabama, and I really hope we start beating their pretentious, pompous a$$es again soon.

The one thing that is similar to past years is that we find what works (or we believe is working) and do that until you stop it. If passing to the backs gets you 600yds and a W, you’re going to see a lot of that.

Apparently Minkah doesn't actually know a lot about football outside of his assignment.

Yeah I don’t see it has some guarantee but it’s a glimpse into a possible opening. If it was s quote from a freshman or something I might think less. It’s an all American. It’s hard to recover in game when u realize that things aren’t what you thought they were but Alabama Is not the typical opponent. Obviously.

That was Ole Miss, with an abysmal defense.
Bama's a bit different, don't you think?
You honestly think we'll move the ball effectively against Bama with no WR threat?

Saw them all. Was in the Swamp and saw us get 1 WR reception against the Gators, and eke out a 1-point win against a bad team.
You're a blind homer if you're not VERY CONCERNED about our ability to move the ball against Bama's elite defense without a WR threat.

Never said we'd produce like that, but the offense improved and not being predictable goes a long way towards being competitive against Alabama. I don't care who we complete passes to or who gets the yards, just score points.

this is the EXACT argument the Miles' supporters used to justify why we pounded the ball off tackle all season against physically inferior opponents, only to get smashed when we played better teams in November, because we only relied on the run and didn't develop our passing game.
Got to work on ALL aspects of the offense, even against lesser opponents, so it's fine-tuned and ready to go against better teams.
And if you feel confident going against Bama's defense because we did well against a wretched Ole Miss defense with ZERO completions to our WRs, then I simply don't know what to tell you.

Doesn't really matter what Fitzpatrick says. Ultimately he's going to do what Saban directs him and the defense to do. They'll stay home and maintain gap discipline.

I agree, but "scoring points" against Bama will require all facets of our offense to be humming to keep them off balance. And coming off a game with no WR completions (against a freaking terrible defense) is very alarming.

Do you honestly ONLY remember the Ole Miss game. Has LSU not completed a pass to a WR this year?

We lost by 10 with that makeshift offense last year. We took it to overtime with Anthony Effin Jennings. Beating bama isn't just about having an air raid offense. It's about making plays when they are there. That's what this team needs to do.

This never happened, but ok. Troy stopped this offense, just think bama is not going to have a hard time stopping the run.

If Bama loads the box and has guys for both Guice and Williams out of the backfield, I'm sure LSU will have a WR threat. If they don't have a spy for Guice and Williams and Guice is running like he did last week and the short passes are getting 1st downs, LSU probably won't throw to a WR. I wouldn't.

Just a bit, but...
I think Saban's defenses have always been susceptible to backs out of the backfield and athletic Tightends over the middle or dragging across a formation. The problem is those are touch/accuracy and timing routes that take advantage of the overaggressive style of coverage and defense Saban likes against your average college QBs. It requires someone who can either throw on time, move effectively in the pocket to find passing lanes or move out of the pocket and throw on the run if the play breaks down or really all three. Just like has been repeated ad nauseam, the only teams to beat Bama have been teams with dynamic, all-world college QBs or, in LSU's case, could play an elite level of defense that keeps them in the game.
If LSU's defense plays their A game, LSU wins the turnover battle, LSU scores a non-offensive TD, and LSU gets Bama with a misdirection play that leaves a TE or RB wide open... It'll be close.

Why force something that isn't there? Are we supposed to make it a point of focus to get the receivers a lot more catches simply because it looks bad?
Canada's MO coming in was working with what he has. If it means double back, double TE's, WR's relegated to primarily a blocking and distraction role, if we score points, than I'm fine.
I don't think we'll see that again, Chark is too good of a weapon to ignore 2 games in a row, but just get the win.

They've also been susceptible to pick plays... or rub routes if you prefer.
Problem is that SEC referees will not stand for LSU getting away with a perceived rub route. See the Miss State game for the called back TD for phantom OPI as an example.
