re: Kelly - based on the talent we have at the WR position, two TE's would not be appropriate

Kelly - In my system of offense you can't run the ball as well without a TE, it allows the balance that we're looking for.


He played two TEs vs NM...

I swear on a goal line play I saw 3...

I mean we all knew that the WR room is the best position group we have and the TE's are a weaker group. I guess his thought process was to have 2 TE to help with blocking. I posted a couple of weeks ago that I hate seeing 2 TE's out running routes, glad he's making changes.

Yep, lined up in 12 at least twice on first drive.

He’s not saying he will NEVER play two TEs; he’s just saying that with our personnel it will usually make sense to play only one.

Boutte, Nabers, Thomas Jr, and Bech need to be on the field at all times.

Precisely, LSU’s main offense will be one TE, with an occasional two.

I know Kelly loves his TEs, but glad he's finally seeing this and able to adjust.

No offense to Kole Taylor and Mason Taylor, but those are among your worst offensive players on this team. Not necessarily an indictment on them, we just have a lot of talent/experience on the offense, especially at WR. When you put 2 TEs on the field, you're just taking a more talented WR off the field in essence. Kole just has never really made any plays in his time here, not really a true in line blocking TE either. Mason is a freshman and still clearly getting adjusted, he isnt really what Kelly hyped him up to be from the get go (the Bowers comparisons).

I'm not saying neither should play, but we should hardly ever be in 2 TE formations except when we might need a yard here and there. We just have a better shot of doing something positive with 3 or 4 WRs on the field than only 2.

mentioned this before, if Bech can block as good as Kole, play Bech and Mason more together, gives you better PA matchups.

I don’t know how many posting on TD are football coaches, but they sure can sell it like they are. LOL
