re: Close-ups of Jefferson show the confusion (not his)

Does any of this stuff we are doing or trying to do remind you of TT and Auburn last year?

Yep, and I wonder what changed. We still have the same OC. Makes me wonder if Miles switched his attenetion from defense to offense. I heard rumors that was happening prior to the season.

Man, I hope thats not it but, Miles is the common denominator between the two. I just hope something gets done now instead of letting it go until the offseason and wasting another season.

Honestly, who believes that a DC will be out-coached by this? He simply prepares by showing his base defense and then having his guys rotate right before the snap. The play clock is a big factor in negating the advantage of this meerkat offense. All defenses know that we will look to the sideline to signal in the play, therefore they simply do not show their true defensive alignment until AFTER the play has been signaled in. The only true benefit of this is when an offense catches a defense that it is tired, it allows them to gash them because it alleviates substitutions if used correctly. It also allows the offense to take advantage of personnel mis-matches. It does not seem to benefit LSU and just looks retarded when we have to call a timeout or our players look frustrated. Your offensive players looking confused before running a play is NEVER a good thing.

I seemed to see a lot of this from JJ Saturday night. Also in Georgia game.

I'm not reading all of the posts but it does piss me off. Either we need to run a true no huddle or we need to line up, check the defense and either let JJ make a read on the defense and/or let JJ call audibles to the slot or HB. That way he has someone to dump it off.

I know this won't happen but it's a thought.

I agree. I can't believe Miles thinks this shite is ever gonna work. I mean seriously it looks like the coaches have never coached and the players never played. I would like to see this shite done away with and a new system implementd even at the expense of getting temporarily worse. I hate to think of LSU running this crap for the rest of the year.

---

It is obvious that the coach's don't trust Jefferson to look at a defense and be smart enough to run plays that will work against that defense. This is obviously a lack of [b]"quarterback smarts" that Jefferson does not have and that we need from a QB to be successful.

Last year "THEY" were taking too long to get the defensive signals in which resulted in too much thinking too quickly and too much confusion. Now, "THEY" are doing the same thing this year on offense. "THEY" need to get their shite together or "THEY" need to step aside and let somebody else fix this mess......

This thread is one of the few "value added" threads I have seen in the last couple days. Good thread, keep it up.

TBA82, I hope you are wrong, but fear you are correct. I also hope he knows this, if true. Well stated.

If you were at the game, you also saw that the one corner, covering our two receivers, missed his assignment and was blitzing on the play. So, we have two receivers and no one covering either one of them. The problem is that even if we do not jump offsides, Jefferson was going to throw to Lafell on an in route. The problem is the saftey in the middle of the field would have tackled him. Our QB did not even look to the outside receiver who could have caught the ball and walked for 30 yards. On the bright side, we didn't throw an interception on the play.
