re: LSU scrimmage

The secret playbook?

You're trying to make me believe this. it won't work... ok it's working a little... ok it's working a lot. GOD I wish I wasn't getting hyped about this for several reasons 1) it's probably not true 2) all we get this month is the spring (and maybe not even that based on what the weather channel says) 3) I'll have to wait until August 31 to see something real

I believe you only because it came from health club guy’s friend and not health club guy’s brother’s friend

we've all got to be a little skeptical about WTF was going on.

Les Miles baw. It’s seriously disturbing that Miles never developed ONE successful QB out of HS here. He didn’t recruit Jamarcus/Flynn...and Perilloux you know what happened there. Mett/Etling we’re transfers and the rest were hot garbage. Let’s hope Brennan will be the first successful one in literally 13 years. The QB recruiting is already SO much better, and if this O is as successful as we all hope it will be...QB’s will come flocking to play in the same O as the Saints

O really has never really been one to sugarcoat things when it comes to the O...and this is the most excited he has clearly been.

If Joe Brady really is that good, should he be the OC?

I think the implication is that in many practical respects, he is (or at least a de facto co-OC). I think we all know that Ensminger was a little hesitant to take the full time OC job. But, now that he has it I don't think he has so much of an ego that he is unwilling to accept input from others. In fact, just the opposite. I think he's more than happy to have a young, hungry, offensive coach take on some of the game planning load.

I don't think Brady has moved this quickly up the coaching ranks simply because he knows some one who knows someone who knows someone on LSU's staff. Clearly people think he has ability and Ensminger is at a point in his career that he's happily willing to accept Brady's input vs. freezing him out in the name of self-preservation.

I wouldn't be surprised if the plan is to kind of gradually faze Steve out as OC and allow Brady to shoulder more and more of the load. A plan that Steve is probably fully on board with.

I think this offense is gonna suck again.

There's far more reasons to think it will be greatly improved that to think it will such

I’m not trying to be a Debbie downer and I am 100% buying into the hype of the new offense....

BUT

What makes you say that QB recruiting is so much better?

Brennan has potential but hasn’t done much, we didn’t sign anyone last year, this year we have Parish who I hope is good but his ranking was similar to Anthony Jennings plus he split time as a starter in HS so we’ll see. We have 2 QBs committed for next year but neither is a can’t miss guy. One is a big arm kid that is very raw and the other has the bloodline but his HS stats suck cuz his HS team sucks.

Not saying we aren’t heading for better times, I’m just saying it’s a little premature to make that call.

If this Brady experiment works out I will be firmly planted on the O Bandwagon. I've got to at least give him props for bringing in some new blood. Let's hope all of these reports are accurate.

thanks for the update
