re: Jimmy’s & Joe’s - Bama Player Personnel

I agree with your assessment(s). I too think that the Bama ILB play for most of the first half of the season was terrible. But Wilson, and Moses have really improved in the last two games. They now seem to understand their assignments better, and are playing a lot faster. I attribute a lot of the coverage breakdowns we've seen to be a result of the ILBs being out of position, or missing their assignment. Didn't see nearly as much of that against UT. The bigger plays that UT made were back-shoulders against the Corners.

Eh, Mack Wilson was out of position all day vs Tennessee. He gave up the bomb to Chandler down the sideline (which is admittedly a tough assignment) and gave up the wheel TD on the same drive.

He's 1st year Rueben Foster right now. Complete missle attacking the LOS, 2 steps behind on anything involving coverage.

Law of averages says we will complete one eventually also.

ftr, the bama fans in this thread are goat. now please go do something about the rabble over on the sec rant. holy cow they've been horrible the last few weeks.

lsu is inexplicably bad at screens which is a shame because there have been HUGE gains each time they've tried and i think it would significantly affect how defenses react in game. lsu could hit one that could change the game but it hasn't been there so far.

fortunately, lsu's o line will be the best it's been all season with brumfield coming back. they've been getting better each game despite the carousel and facing 4 excellent front 7's.

everything about lsu's offense this season has been sneaky good, under the radar. they are effective. they can put together a sustained drive against elite defenses when the game is on the line. they can score in a variety of ways. ens has been making good adjustments and has had a solid gameplan for each opponent. and watching other top qb's this season, aside from tua, i don't see anybody doing things that burrow isn't.

This is the least pro style offense LSU has had in years. Also I don't think we've attempted a middle screen this season.

It's still a pro style offense. Your base offense is predominately two TE sets and throwing off of play action. You do more under center than any other team in the SEC. The only material change is some RPO/ZR concepts from the shotgun, but they're obligatory and almost always result in essentially a draw from the shotgun.

But that's also why your QB runs are so effective, literally nobody is expecting it.

And you ran two middle screens on the same /drive/ vs Florida. You probably don't remember them because they've not been wildly effective this year, but the Alabama defense is susceptible to screens of all kinds, and LSU staff will see that on film and try to exploit it. I think they'll have success with it.

We do throw off play action but we've been 1 TE way more than 2 TE. Our most used grouping has be 3 WR, 1 T,E 1 RB.

I shouldnt have said 'predominately' - poor word choice. A lot is better. LSU used it significantly against UF and UGA. Not that much vs Auburn. And it's not always explicitly a TE, you like this look a good bit where Dillion is formationally a TE, but is a WR
