Green is a matchup nightmare for EVERYONE.

Theres no better coach to get the most of of Sam either.

And Berry is going to go OFF in this system.

NIL almost pulled me away but this coaching staff is already exciting to think about.

I can almost guarantee you that the 1st 9 plays of the clemson game will not exclusively be screen passes and straight dives. That will be an improvement

According to Lane the back to know would be Dillion Jones.

After the presser yesterday I’m wondering how much Durham and Berry actually floundered under the previous coaching staff. CLK made it sound like they both have work to do and that Jones is clearly ahead.

Under Kelly I would text a fellow LSU fan and we’d banter about why the hell we did not use Tre’Dez Green almost exclusively in the red zone. It was so bizarre and it seemed it took a while before they went to him more often. Ready for this year.

Durham has vision problems. I said this last year. I'm not sure how anyone could miss it. As bad as the line was they gave him opportunities and he wouldn't take them. I saw moments where if he made one cut, he would've got a 20 yard run but instead he goes straight into the back of his lineman. Running game was soft under BK so this isn't shocking to me a big physical guy comes in and Lane likes him more. He was ahead in spring too plus he looked like a steal out of the portal.

Not saying he’ll be Kewan Lacy but he and Jones both had identical stats at their previous stops before getting to lane. They were both behind sub par blocking OLs (Jones was actually behind one of the worst in P4) but graded very well in how they ran despite the poor blocking. I think jones could be a 1k back depending upon how many totes Berry gets

Setting aside the incredible waste & misuse of offensive talent under the previous staff, I'm just elated to see a competent, cohesive offense on the field.

Just imagine an O-Line that can run block and won't get pushed around by the likes of Nicholls. (And one more FU to all the BK defenders on here who defended that crap.)

Just imagine an RB rotation that doesn't kill momentum and defy logic.

Just imagine play calling that isn't painfully predictable and frequently asinine.

It's been a long road, but it's gonna be a fun year, y'all.

If you flip the screen to the other side of the field, they have no idea it's coming. Use your imagination!!

I think he’s going to use Zach Graze and Malichi Thomas more than we would think.

I go back and forth with this.

It was just soul crushing watching our offense give an almost guaranteed 3 and out every series last year and I remember saying this is the most frustrating football I’ve ever watched.

But then I remember sitting through that 2023 season and literally every single position I expected to be scored on. Started to feel like “okay, just hurry up and let them score so we can get the ball back and try to regain the lead”

Per Ruffino's sauces, Jones has broken a couple of long ones in practice after the media was sent home.

I agree, but you have to acknowledge that there is so much skill talent there will be some bitching about someone not getting enough playing time etc. depend on the fan base.

And I can 100% say that if a passing play breaks down that our new QB will take off and run and not sit there like a wounded deer in headlights.
