A major part of this is Jayden being more decisive.
Look at the 2019 O-line. Joe Burrow made them look much stronger than they were as a whole.
A decisive QB does wonders.

Improved - yes.
A “strength” - Maybe.
They struggled at Auburn and Alabama and A&M are equal to (if not better than) Auburn on the D line.
In short, we will find out in a week or so.

They are definitely improving as a unit. The freshmen tackles have been through the ringer and they are better for it. They have a huge test this next game

Proves the x's and O's VS jimmies and Joes argument doesn't it?

This is pretty much everything. When there's not 8 men in the box, josh Williams rips off big runs. When they keep an extra man In for Daniels legs, he has openings to throw.
Holding the ball and panic running was what was killing this offense. When he stopped doing that and let it go, things got easier.

This OL is why Daniels is playing better. They were already doing alright in pass protection but run blocking was abysmal. Now they are run blocking well enough to balance out the defense. We are no longer a one trick pony BECAUSE of the OL.

I think they found a group that works well together... the real test is on 11/5 though.
I still get nervous about Myles Frazier, but I always forget he's young. He has played like a G recently though.

Both, it was never as bad as everyone thought

I think the question at this point is do you even put Dellinger back in with how well the OL has played without him. Bradford has done well. Also Dellinger wasnt even having a particularly great season himself.
You mean Frazier? Bradford was already starting at RG.
Dellinger was good once they moved him to guard. He’s just had a bad run of injuries between his broken hand and knee sprain.
I am curious to see what they do with him, though. If he still has the cast on his hand and isn’t 100% recovered from the knee sprain, I could see them rolling with Frazier.

Dellinger is expected to return from his knee injury and play against Alabama, giving LSU more depth in a rotation that includes Miles Frazier and Anthony Bradford.
Right now I would leave the starting line alone but would ease Dellinger back into rotation. Also, did he get his cast off his hand?

It’s both, and these arguments about “who gets credit” are silly.
Better OL, RB, and WR play makes the quarterback’s job easier. Better QB play makes the OL, RB, and WR jobs easier. It’s all interconnected.
As an example: sometimes in a game (not specific to LSU) you’ll have a couple of missed assignments that lead to sacks. Maybe an RB misses a blitz pickup on one play and the interior OL don’t properly pick up a stunt on another. Now the QB is nervous because he knows the other team is getting pressure. Then you fast forward a drive or two and the QB is bailing from a clean pocket because his internal clock is off. Is that on the QB or the OL? It’s both! If the QB trusted his OL he wouldn’t be bailing from the pocket.. but if the OL hadn’t missed those assignments earlier, the QB would trust them. It’s a team game.
At LSU, we have a new coaching staff with a new offensive scheme. We are starting to see Daniels and the rest of the skill players really settle into that scheme, which also opens up the playbook.
Meanwhile we had a game of musical chairs on the OL early in the season, with two true freshman tackles. That unit is getting better (and more comfortable) every week, just like the skill players.
There’s no one specific thing that’s driving our offense to be more successful. There are a whole lot of little things. When all of those little things come together, you see a performance like we’ve had the past two weeks.

Lotta talk about the QB in this thread. I’ll post the truth/myth on Daniels when I have a minute to put it together.

It's remarkable that he was the only person that BK retained from the previous staff. Obviously, it was a very high bar that was set and only Davis made the cut. So far, Kelly has proven himself right on most of his decisions. Give BK credit for his decision, but Davis probably deserves most of the credit for the improvement.

That had a lot more to do with Ole Miss than LSU.

I agree. Daniels frequently has plenty of time to survey the field.

It’s almost as if Brad Davis is a good coach and those of us who actually paid attention last season knew this would happen.
