re: What specifically is your beef with Coach E's offense?

Our lists match very closely RickDaddy:

quote:

---

That he doesnt try to cover up weaknesses.

---

You can do it some, not all the time. We seem to not to try.

quote:

---

Knowing that our oline is struggling HE NEVER ONCE MOVED THE POCKET FOR BURROW. Teams were allow to just pin their ears back and rush to a spot.

---

I'll add it is obvious that our "Run Pass Options" did not include a pass option... receivers went straight to blocking. We weren't fooling the DBs allowing them to get to line on what is by definition a slow developing run play.

quote:

---

He constantly called playaction passes when no one respected our run game.

---

this seems to be a holdover tradition at LSU from the Miles era. Which makes it even more aggravating. That, and running a play action on 3rd and 8 outside of FG range. In FB range it's fine, you might be protecting the 3 pts with a draw.

Oh, by the way... I don't remember a single draw all year to a RB.

quote:

---

He has yet to teach our players how to run a damn screen pass.

He constantly calls these long developing pass plays that dont help our oline.

---

yep and yep. WRs themselves aren't helping between audibles and route adjustments, not to mention drops and inability to get off the line clean. SLU and UCF were draping all over them.

quote:

---

He constantly puts Burrow under center making it harder to read a defense during his drop and he knows our pass blocking isnt great.

---

Note we had several TDs, in the redzone, from runs from shotgun. How about pistol? Guess he never though about that.

quote:

---

Our gameplan almost never changes depending upon the weakness of our opponent.

---

my biggest, #1 complaint right there. ATTACK them. Make them adjust to us, and when they do attack that. I understand we have our offense to run. But if they take something away, they probably robbed Peter to pay Paul. Make Peter suffer.

Did we ever just pick on a corner or a LB that couldn't cover with a TE? No.

I'll Add:
- 3rd quarters in 80% of our games? WTF. You know damn sure your adjustments aren't targeted to weaknesses of the opponent when you come out of half and have your worst quarters of most games. That's 95% on design, scheme, and philosophy.

- Red Zone is not the time to get "plain". That's when you get inventive. The wildcat, 4 times all year, was nice. But that's damn near just symbolic. Oh, and if my memory serves we scored 2 TDs in redzone out of that.

- WTF? Dec and not all positions know audibles? What happened to Canada's offense being too complicated... now this.

- RBs suck arse at blocking DL. Quit trying to have a RB block DEs/DTs by themselves. Just don't. Send them on a hot route instead.

- You know, when you designate a RB to stay in and block committing to one side, they will send the cover LB to the other. Every damn time. Either don't keep him in, chip and send, or don't commit to a side at the snap. You might have read the blitz right, but they changed it at snap.

It's equally consistent that you will never blame the coaches for anything and just call people names that disagree with you and upvote your own posts.

p&g blaming 100% of LSU's failures on the players

In like white on rice. so predictable

quote:

To be 11-1, there has to be improvements on offense!

---

Well you would assume that with an offensive unit returning almost in tact with a year of college football exp under their belt that improvement is almost a guarantee.... no?
Id take that bet.

As much as you want to bet me.

nope but ours definitely couldn't handle 3 and 4 man rushes against good teams

---

Missed the UGA game? Auburn game?

quote:

---

Everyone forgets that our arguably best team ever scored 9 pts vs bama in 8+ quarters

---

That 2011 defense was worlds better than their 2018 defense.

so predictable

---

almost as predictable as blaming the players for the red zone failures. Keep bashing the kids buddy

Definately.

We absolutely suck in the Red Zone. There is no creativity when we get down there. We had 1st and goal from the 2 and ended with a field goal. And this happened 2 or 3 times against UCF As a matter of fact LSU did not score one time against UCF from inside the Red Zone. Every touch down was from 22 yards out or further.

We run up the middle way too much on first down and we use backs whose strength is inside and run them outside and when getting to the edge is not really in their wheel house.

And like LSU offenses in the past, we run a lot of long developing routes that require a lot of time for the play to develop and not enough of just getting the ball to play makers in space. Not saying we never do it, but we don't do it enough.

I believe we go through long bouts of being very predictable. run run pass, then run run pass. Ensminger seems a little better at it than others in the past but it just seems we have the same play book regardless of the OC.

All execution, obviously not on the playcalls. Fact.

You really should be banned for the constant personal attacks. I think I'm going to change it up. Instead of engaging you and Ben in the same debate every day, I'll just RA and hopefully get you put in time out. That would do the board a much bigger favor, than what I've been doing every day.
