I liked the way JJ ran the option

For the most part, JL ran second team and Mett ran 3rd, operating behind the shoddiest combination of walk-on OL you can imagine.

the playbook seems to be entirely catered to JJ.

JL ran at least 2 short side options

OMG WTF and :yack:

Overall, the passing game was very vanilla.

Awesome.

thats not good he was one of the guys with experience sort of. I'm scared we aren't gonna have enough guys step up on the WR side of the ball.

Too many pages on QB...need to be more cconcerned about WR play IMO. It will be our weakest link. We need JLandry to get eligible and catch on quick enough to eventually become our #2 guy opposite RR IMO.

Tall order, but I dont think Shep has hands to be the guy and now apparently losing CT...ohhh man we are thin!

Too bad we couldn't land J Hunter or Mike Davis.

I think we've got potential at the other WR spots. I would've liked to see them incorporated into the offense more last game. RR is certainly our #1, but like I said, out of the group of Boone, Wright, Fobbs, and Williams, I think at least 2 need to step up and grab the #2/3 spot along with RS.

Sounds like a good idea. You have 70 posts in 1 month, almost all defending JJ. Are you immediate family, relative or neighbor? Are you a DeadFish alter?

It has nothing to do with color. He is a lousy QB.

It is not a matter of him not being able to do anything to win fans over-he has been handed the reins of a loaded offense (certainly at least in 2010) and steered us to triple digit passing rankings. He is a lousy QB.

Can you defend the pouting, the finger pointing and his refusal to congratulate JL for bailing his arse out of several games last year? He had fewer TD passes than he had 5* WR's to throw to.

Most of us just want to win, and if that's Rohan over Booty, or JR over Flynn, then I am behind them 100%. Those that bring up racism do so because there is no other response to the discussion about how crappy his play has been outside of a couple of games he had a month or more to prepare for, against teams from outside the SEC.

he mostly lined up at TE from what I saw, but that's not to say he might not have taken a few snaps outside. He was certainly an integral part of our passing game today. He had a 40 yard catch and run on that really cool fake draw seam throw from JJ.

If we have a deficit at WR, I think you will see him lined up on the outside so they can use his big body ala M. Colston. That said, we seem pretty comfortable with what the other guys gave us.

Anyone thinking Mett was just gonna be handed the keys to the LSU team w/o paying his dues by starting the spring as the #3 QB hasn't been following LSU football and everyone who follows college football should know the #3 guy most times will be playing with other #3 guys.

And geez, Mett is 3 weeks into his LSU career while the other two are starting their 4th or 5th years. Why should anyone be suprised by this or read a whole hell of a lot into it at this time???

I don't remember many passes being completed to Mathieu's side of the field. That was most likely largely due to the fact that he usually lined up against Boone, Williams, Fobbs, Wright, etc while Claiborne was usually lined up against Rueben. To directly answer your question, Mathieu definitely plays bigger than his size. I didn't see anyone picking on him.

Rueben v. Morris was one helluva a matchup. Rueben clearly won on a couple deep TDs, but Morris has great size and cover skills. Arguably the best WR he'll go up against all year stands across from him every day in practice.

Lets all assume for a second that JJ will play terrible this year and Mett is going to be the best qb AND you are the head coach.

Given this senerio do you think it would be wise to have Mett running with the first team after just a few weeks??? That would actually be a stupid move!

And as far as all the poor opinions of JJ lets not forget that the JJ at the end of the year was much better than the horrible JJ from game the 4.

And if our coaches are to stupid to realize Mett. under constant pressure isn't going to have stats like a qb with all day to throw then it is all pointless anyway. Practicing under pressure is probably better practice than standing around waiting for someone to get open eventually.

Rest assured the coaches want to know how Mett and JJ will perform in ALL situations and don't just compare those misleading stats. They probably were quite impressed with Mett not turning the ball over so it you can impress in that situation too.
