re: How is it that JD5 played such a God awful game?

His instincts are to hold it until he sees a WR open. Against Zone, that's harder. He regressed this week.

This. Barry Odom is one of the best in the biz and he had a perfect gameplan. He took what UT did and just called and executed it a lot better than they could.

Daniels has been doing fine against man lately, but he still isn’t confident enough to identify the soft spots in a zone and throw guys into them. Add the constant pressure and the fact that they kept the defense compressed and you also have more people facing the ball every snap, meaning there were more defenders ready to react whenever Daniels tried to run.

What we needed to do was hit them deep, or at least try, to back them off. I’m pretty sure that’s why we were trying to do early in the game. If you can back the safeties off, it opens a lot of extra space in each zone. Unfortunately, the constant pressure and sacks in the first half put an end to that.

How many screens, throws to RB did you see yesterday?

You don’t throw many screens vs zone teams.

He made almost every single call wrong from options etc., I have no doubt he had the flu too. He definitely screws you up

I think that first pick he threw really affected his confidence. They should have dialed up more easy throws for him to get back in rhythm, IMO; however, maybe the Les Miles approach was part of their game plan for this particular match up.

Most QBs don't get sacked 7 times in a game. Our blocking/blitz pickup was awful.

Sacks and pressure nearly every play. How people overlook that is beyond comprehension. But on top of that he did look off. All that together equals glad to just get the W.

You guys still haven't learned your lesson yet? You don't know more than the coaches. You think BK is an idiot and doesn't know this? Ask yourself why these are not being called. If you watch LSU this year you should know the answer by now. JD can't throw these routes for shite. He lacks touch on his passes. He gets RBs/WRs killed on simple screens and his accuracy is too inconsistent. He has played overall great this year but he still has many areas he needs to improve on. This is one of them. He also holds the ball too long as it's not always the WRs/OL fault. I can tell you yesterday though, the WRs were not getting great separation overall on a good portion of the plays. Not all but a good bit. Defense also dictates what you will be calling on offense. Their play calls were fine they just were not executing.

Playing like shite spread to every unit on offense like cancer.

And most get sacked just like Daniels did

y good passer, he never throws a receiver open or hit them in stride. They usually have to slow down to catch the ball thrown behind them.

Ex

Boutte catch down to 1 yrd line should’ve been 6 with better throw

Absolutely

We would not be here with JD and a few other key players.
