re: Jarrett Lee's Pick Sixes

as i recall only about two or three couldn't have been stopped but the others could have been tackled. if you watched the games you would have seen the defensive player waiting for the pass as if he knew it was coming. each int. was the same the defense knew ahead of time what the play was.when your play calls are that predictalbe you will throw pick 6's every game. don't blame the qb's for something they were told to do. they're not 4th or 5th year seniors only freshmen.when the play calls were different while we trying to catch up there were no more ints and we scored on almost every series we touched the ball. its in the play calling.

I am guessing 2-3 could have been stopped from getting to the endzone with better tackling effort from the offensive players.

Please will someone show me a video with Lee in the picture at least attempting to stop a defender that picked off one of his passes. JUST ONE>

the last pick 6 lee threw the player was surrounded by players and still went untouched for a td

didn't see lee in that picture either.

didn't know lee was a tackle. i do remember jj threw an int. and the player was tackled on the 1 yard line but not by jj.so whats the point. qb's normally don't tackle. you get them hurt and your really screwed.

I'm guessing it wouldn't come to that if he didn't throw them in the first place.

I agree with the posters who said, get over it, this issue really has been beat to death. But since we gonna discuss it yet again.....

i dont see how the guy did it every game. he should get a medal or something

Actually, the play calling had a big part to do it (as someone else noted). Many of the interceptions were players "jumping" the route. The int on the first play of the GA game is a perfect example. First, why the hell are we calling a delayed slant on the first play of the game with what was then a very solid running game. Second, if you watch the play, the LB read the play from the start and jumped the route from the inside. JL never saw the guy, a common mistake I saw some very well paid professional QBs make just today as well. The issue, however, is how did the LB know that was where the ball was going? Something about our formation or tendencies tipped him. Blame the QB if you want, but the play calling has to take some heat as well.

Again, folks redshirt freshman QB playing in the SEC. We all knew the QB position was going to struggle this year. It did, get over it.

the pick six is the stupidest statistical category. a pick is a pick and that is where it ends on the qb's part.

Amazing, someone who knows what they are talking about. The fact that so many of Lee's picks went for TDs was simply an anomaly.

dont forget though 2 more could have been easily taken back. 1 at usce to like the 3 or so and then the one vs bama in the first q that lead to a td

Strengths and weaknessess going into this year.
Strengths: 1. Offensive line
2. Running backs
3. Receivers (T.E. and wide outs)
4. Kicker (Colt David)
5. Defensive line
6. Linebackers
7. Returners (kick and punt)
8. Head coach

Weakenessess
1. Q.B. Q. B and Q. B.
2. Secondary
3. Co-Defensive Cordinators.

Even with the pick sixes, we should have won at least two more games. Going into the year a 2 loss team looked pretty good. It was how we lost that looked like this team was lost in space. The team that beat Ga. Tech was nothing like what we saw all year long, except for the Alabama game at times. It was a tough year with the hurricane and Q.B., but to review. LSU defense to me was a bigger disappointment than all the others combined. We could'nt stop Arkansas or Troy St., how can we stop Ga. or Fla.
Hopefully this coaching change will mend most of that.
