A really scary vertical passing game in which a QB can read a defense better than a coloring book. Do this, and everything else on offense will fall into place. I do not think LM could stand to do it.

THIS! Coaching or more specific, lack of coaching cost us a chance at the BCSNC. LSU biggest opponent January 9 was CLMs arrogance and ego. I'm not saying we would have won, but CLM didn't give us a chance to try.
Hopefully CLM will learn from this and get out of the way in 2012.

Play calling and inflated ego's (CLM). Correct this and all is possible.

The pass rush was good all year, AL had a great o-line and the times they got to McCarron he escaped. If there was one "flaw" with the D-line, it was that neither Brockers or Logan are great pass rushers, very little pressure up the middle. I hope Johnson changes that next year. If he becomes the player he can be, the d-line line will be ridiculous.

nail on the head,get outta the way and let the talent you've recruited win for you.a vertical passing game with more complex route trees and a real qb will be nice.hopefully offensive balance

A good QB = done!
Solid D = better!
Good OL = got it!
Use RB depth = done!
Coaching staff who opens their eyes and sees the field & willing to make game time adjustments including using our bench when someone struggles. = sorry this may never happen.
Good news! We can still win even with stubbornness by our coaching staff.

Rediscover the forward pass. If not that, find a way to get Bama off the schedule.

Did we watch the same games?

learn how to cover a smash and double smash cause its all we will see till we stop it. and HB7 needs to learn how to cover back shoulder pass against a taller WR.

I really cannot understand why lsu has such trouble finding great LBs.

Geez..... you again?
Yeah, Kelvin Sheppard was terrible. Bradie James was awful. Lionel Turner was shitty. Ryan Baker sucked.

Bama is a prime example of this... McCarron had all day, and our pass rush was neutralized
Not bad points overall, but this is not what I remember from the game (haven't been able to re-watch).
My recollection is that we did a decent job of getting pressure, but McCarron was just very good at avoiding it, throwing quickly, dumping off, throwing on the run, etc. I was left with the impression that he (and his receivers) played a heck of a game. Maybe I'm not remembering correctly.
this. Plus the receivers made outstanding catches.

I can't believe you took the time to type out that whole thing.
Pretty sure we'd all agree to "The Greatest Show on Turf" offense and the '85 Bears defense, and to have them play perfectly in every possible second.

2) QB Play
quote:I have NO problem with the defense. What I saw was the best defense in the country, which improved (not 100% yet) on its problems with over-pursuit.
1) Pass rush from the front 4
3) LB Play
5) Second CB needs to emerge/more creative with Mathieu
8) Find a 2nd safety
quote:Randle wasn't great? OBJ? Would have liked to see more throws to all receivers.
4) WR Play in the passing game
quote:Jeez, one bad replay in the CG and you want to dump Hurst? Did the 10 second "conversation" between the left guard and JJ before the snap not indicate that there were problems? The o-line gave positive yards on all running plays and gave JJ good pass protection all game. Yes, they could pressure, but this wasn't Ole Miss they were playing.
6) RT Play
quote:Clemens and others. Hopefully someone else emerges. No arg here.
7) Who will play TE?
8) Return to having fun
Throw in a trick play. Let the receivers catch it. Seemed like we had fun early on in the season, but Les forgot this in the big games.

2) QB Play
Regardless of your stance on who should have been playing, etc. etc. etc., I think we should all agree QB play needs to improve. Lee was efficient, but not dynamic. JJ was neither.
If Mettenberger can be more than efficient, even dynamic, we could be really dangerous on offense with our stable of RBs.
I actually think if we would have eased Mett in this past season and eventually taken over, we would have had much better O production and the BCS NC game would have actually been a great one.

OBUDan good post. I think you hit on just about everything. Many think we go without a loss but I really doubt this due to some of the things you highlighted.
Posted on 1/25/12 at 6:08 am to OBUDan
i think our receivers were very good. you have to throw the damn ball for them to catch it. not just four or five passes in a game.
Posted on 1/25/12 at 8:22 am to OBUDan
We need an offensive line coach and an OC that realizes the importance of the TE.Stud the Dud wouldn't last a year at a school like Alabama.Saban wouldn't hire him in the first place.Noticed Urban Meyers didn't want a second helping of Stud.He is the weak link in the coaching staff and a yes man.

It would be nice to have a QB which we have not had in 4 years.
