It's cool to be positive, but you don't have to abandon intellectual honesty.

You can say "cool that he was talking about LSU, but he doesn't really know what he's talking about."

So who’s calling the plays for LSU? Ensminger or Brady?

Ensminger, but Brady is gonna have the next play ready for him is what I gather.

How on Earth can Jordan Rodgers have an opinion on how good a playcaller is who, as far as I know, has never called a play?


The man has never called a bad play!

Many people are tired of the same old results. Great against weak teams, not as much when the defense needs help against good.

What started turning me against les staying was Brandon Harris’s weak performance against directional Michigan and only two passes in the second half. That was the time to work on the passing game yet we ran the ball.

Saban started with the same philosophy of great defense and ST and solid don’t lose the game offense. He evolved Les didn’t.

I understand wanting to see results on the field, but no one can accuse coach O of standing pat.

So Brady is setting up the sequences and Ensminger is just delivering Brady’s play calls?

That seems unnecessary.

Right. It’s a calculated risk. It may pay out, it may not. We don’t know and, I’m reality, might not even know after this season how good Brady actually is.

Well, excuse me for curbing my expectations when Orgeron’s last two hires of offensive play callers have been less than spectacular.

At a basic level, sure. But to my knowledge, Brady has never called plays and won't be calling plays for us. That said, I hope he has some influence to bring our passing offense out of stone age.

Whether you buy into it or not, having positive reports about the team and especially the offense in the national media helps the program. Recruits that may have never considered LSU are now starting to give LSU a look. Of course the hype has to be followed with results, but getting LSU "in the conversation" is always a good thing.

Revamping the offense, updating facilities, building support staff, pushing the national brand, getting a new, better AD, expanding our recruiting reach. All of it is necessary to build a championship caliber program.

Who said anything about buying in? I agree that any positive pub is good. All I've said is that Brady never has called plays and won't be calling plays for LSU. Here's hoping he has an influence on our passing game that we have been sorely missing.

Honestly, this sounds like a disaster waiting to happen especially if you pair it with the idea that we’re going to go no huddle this year.

“Joe brought a ton of information for us,” Saints coach Sean Payton said. “Did a great job. He was involved in a lot of the breakdown of opponents. A lot of the drawings.
So he was mainly an analyst? Because that's pretty much what analyst do.

He had coached in college. He was every familiar with some of the RPO game.
So by "coaching" he means a GA at a school that runs the RPO.

I'm not saying Joe isn't going to make a difference. I'm just pointing out he has always been the low man on the totem pole and hasn't been as involved in the major offensive decisions as people would like to believe.

Well, there's nothing "intellectual" about constant nitpicking with no real basis besides feelings and projection.

I can understand cautious optimism but the entire subject here is subjective.

So pointing out that Joe Brady isn't a playcaller is nitpicking? Seems like it's a pretty important fact that a TV personality should've known.

Again, I'm not sure how this applies to this thread. Who is nitpicking? Is pointing out that Brady won't be calling plays "nitpicking"?

It's guessing.

In fact E has said Brady will be choosing plays this year.

I wasn't intending to single you out. By "you" I meant people in general. I agree and stated we don't know anything yet in terms of Brady's impact. All we do know is that there is a modification in the offensive philosophy to a RPO/spread with an emphasis on getting the ball out quick. That much has been stated multiple times by O, SE and Brady. Whether the implementation is successful and the playcalling is competent still remains an unknown.

When Ensminger said Brady will indeed pick plays?

E can override, but Brady will be processing the sequence.

Yes, it's nitpicking.

Brady is making suggestions but Ensminger is the man actually calling the plays.

So, Brady is not calling plays.
