re: This is NOT Sustainable

Bunch of crybaby bitches on here.

So we aren't making playoffs?

Last 3 games we've outscored our opponents 52-3 in the 2nd half. We ridin

but I'm worried it's about to get even more frustrating to watch this offense.

Its like we are going into the meat of the sec schedule or something

In 2019 we rarely went with 4 WR's. 3 wides a TE and CE was our most used formation. Those guys had no trouble finding openings in the D. We just need to play better.

That sounds great, but completely ignores what was great about that team, all of which this offense lacks. Moss and CEH were incredibly versatile. Both could block and catch and CEH was perfectly suited to run out of the shotgun behind a line that was good, but wasn’t perfect. They were a matchup nightmare because we could run pretty much anything with that personnel grouping. We also had a QB and WRs who could hit you with a deep ball at any time, from anywhere on the field. All of this stretches defenses and constantly put them at matchup disadvantages.

We run plenty of 11 personnel sets now, but we aren’t on the same planet as far as what we can do with out of them. Mason Taylor will be a good TE, but he’s been forced into a bigger role than he’s really ready for. He is good, but somewhat inconsistent as a receiver and average at best as a blocker.

Williams has really stepped up as a versatile back who can block, catch and run, but let’s be honest. As much as I love his heart and effort, he isn’t CEH. No one else is. And this OL also isn’t as good as 2019’s.

At least Williams and Taylor are effective. Our deep passing game is completely non-existent, and that is absolutely KILLING this offense. Any competent DC will just compress the field knowing Daniels won’t even try to throw it deep and either play a lot of zone or just spy him to limit his ability to run. We aren’t going to play another DC like Arnett who will blitz and play man no matter what, so what we saw Saturday is what we will see every week going forward. It’s going to get progressively harder to execute short and intermediate passes until someone starts hitting deep passes to back the defense off and stretch them out.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the DL technique is to "mush rush". You rush four and make sure the QB does not get past you. That requires everyone on the DL to maintain their lanes and it forces a non-throwing QB like JD to throw. It's basically what AU did to us Saturday night and it pretty much worked expect for the designed QB runs when the LB was forced to cover the RB out of the back field and the DE was well blocked Daniels gained some yards.

Tennessee will follow the same script at the AU defense. It was effective. They will be betting they can score more than 17 points against the LSU defense.

Bottom line is, JD need to make a few down field throws. When he does that it easier for him to run...heck it opens up everything.

Just a reminder for everyone that OP bitched about scoring drives during multiple wins because it meant Daniels wouldn’t get benched.

He has zero ability to anticipate the passes. By the time he sees guys open, the are usually no longer open before he can let it go. Good QBs understand what they are looking for before they start. The ball is ready to come out before the player is open. And, because of that throws aren't rushed. He's a good kid, who seems like a good leader. I think people like him. But, he doesn't have the intangible QB skills.

A very good analysis of Daniels. Unfortunately, his issues are not correctable.

Depends on your definition of sustain

Riveting analysis.
