Les and redzone playcalling without Jefferson
Posted on 10/10/12 at 10:15 pm

If there was one thing Jefferson was good at it was making something happen in the redzone.
Les seems to be lost without a mobile quarterback to save him inside the 20. That rollout call on 2nd down was almost worse than the 2 timeout jump pass.
It's been more than 3 years since he's had a QB that can't scramble to the endzone.
Are things bad enough to where we should try either wildcat plays or a mobile QB in certain spots in the redzone?

It was just uncanny.

I'll quote Spencer Ware when asked about the stupid Magee jump pass call that everyone including a drunk Gary Danielson saw coming...
"We should have just punched it in there."

Then his opinion is invalid.

That logic has become the gift that keeps on giving.

Could they put in a package for the Penn State kid? Is he mobile?

First, I think we need to figure out what the frick we're doing in general. You know on second thought, this offense is such a shite sandwich, I'm for trying anything.

Still can't believe we had one of the best redzone offenses in the country last year

Put in a Tebow package for Anthony Johnson!

I agree it was a shitty call...but how many times have we successfully "punched it in there" from the 4 yard line lately?

All for it. Or Connor Neighbors.

I don't know.
Sigh...I'm frustrated.

Great.
Someone just bumped that POS "do you know more about football than Les Miles" thread.

The RZ offense was fine last year before JJ returned, though he did add a dimension when he came back. I don't think Les is lost with a RZ offense without a mobile QB. I think he is lost in the RZ with this group.
If LSU just can't outman the opponent, overpower them with talent...it isn't going to happen.

We only had 4 games.. one being NW St and another being Mississippi State where we kicked 4 field goals. That's not much of a sample size.

We have ay least 3 or 4 guys who would be great in the wildcat formation

4 games is 1/3rd of your regular season, and the 2011 team was stellar in the RZ all year long. Les doesn't need a mobile QB, just pretty sure he prefers one.

that to me is the biggest problem with les right now
talent he has to work with is just not going to plow through the SEC like it did last year
he's going to actually have to come up with some creative offensive schemes
