This and Steve probably will retire after next season anyway. That's why I was hoping for a Co offensive coordinator for this season
What indication did he give anybody that he will retire?
You want a co-oc because, deep down, you know Ensminger is the wrong person for the job. He may "retire" next season, but if he does it will only be to save face.

I sort of agree that you don’t want another offense being installed with a sr Quarterback
Also why go to all the time and effort to create and install an offense when you know that another OC would come in and throw in the trash. No I see them bringing in somebody. Probably somebody young like a Tee Martin.

am very reluctant to count on him next year considering his lack of play this year and whatever trouble he got into that did not allow him to travel to the Bowl game this season.
There is a lot of time between now and August, but those issues will have to be worked out between him and the team.
I wasn't aware that he didn't travel with the team. Possibly a failed drug test maybe?
If you watch his highlight video Ferriday would use him all over the field.
Split out wide where he caught passes.
On defense dropped back in coverage where he intercepted the ball or knocked down a sure touchdown.
He's athletic enough to play tackle.

All you have repeated here constantly was how much the OLine sucked this season. Now you are sitting here feeding us that Rosenthal will come in as this athletic freak and help be part of a great offensive line next season. Yet, he was available to play this season, and couldn't crack unto the terrible OL you said we have.

It's my opinion that Steve will retire. I should've worded my post a little better.

So you think a player that switches from offense to defense should be ready to start immediately upon switching. That pretty ignorant.

You don’t know how to analyze football like you think you do.

cons: E was terrible at adjusting. no controlled short pass game when he knew we needed it. DId terrible at using sullivan and andersons size. should have been mixing in back shoulders sideline routes with seams driving down field. also not enough fades to them in RZ. terrible job teaching backs to release if they do not have a rusher. see two point conversion failure at auburn.
pros: did well early in games with scripted plays. did well with zone reads and burrow. but burrow would have done this in canadas offense also and then some.

Yes Canada's O is geared to running the ball. He is a tun first coach and passes less. Check the stats wherever he's been.

I didn't say that he should be ready to start immediately. But if the offensive line is as bad as you suggested on this board every single day, and if Dare is the phenominal athlete you are now making him out to be, don't you think he should have cracked into the lineup at some point this season?
Posted on 1/5/19 at 9:48 am to doubleb
wait who said matt was NOT a run first coach?
So is CUM and the GUS BUS. That was not the point of my post.

Coach O has said that he isn't ready. Maybe you should ask coach O why he didn't crack the lineup. Again I watched his highlights and I thought that they were impressive. You are free to watch them and form your own opinion.

LSU did well between the 20's but then I don't know what the frick they were doing once they got into the red zone.
Posted on 1/5/19 at 10:18 am to The Levee
I'm with you levee...if you re-watch the Bama game, E tried several different schemes...no go with our patchwork O-line against a solid front like Bama with a LB core to wipe up any brief penetration. Screens got shut down like no tomorrow.

My opinion is, if he wasn't close enough to being ready to play this season, on a OL that wasn't great, then I won't expect him to be the savior of the OL next season (like you are proclaiming).

The red zone offense was on 1st and 2nd down run zone read. If it's 3rd and short run it again and if it's 3rd and long try to throw.

One essential weakness in the Ensminger offense was the inability of WRs to gain separation. Burrow had to work wonders to achieve his high QB rating cause his OL was doing him no favors, and the WRs were almost always in tight coverage, especially vs the better teams on the schedule.

The passing game improved somewhat this year, but our running game really fell off. Despite a good running QB, we had our worst running O in years and our yards per carry was way down.
To get to Atlanta, we need to run the ball as we had in the past and keep improving in the passing game. Just improving in the pass game won't be enough.
Job 1 is the OL.

It was a combination of factors. Consistent procedure penalties hurt in those situations, also a woeful play action passing game (contrast Jimbo and Saban in the same situations), and just plain laziness: I believe the fact that Cole Tracy was automatic inside the 30 stunted real offensive play calling innovation.
