So CC will help ZM execute the SS option better? Got it. Only about 50% scheme, but that's is majority of problem.

I'm not saying a heavy dose of pistol can't be effective. I like the idea of RB right behind QB. But any OC who wants us to make ZM a option QB is ridiculous.


While I agree it's was pretty dumb to have Mett give an option look, we ran that play 5 times this year so I wouldn't exactly call it part of the scheme. Our offensive philosophy was run the ball downhill and then throw over the top. That's exaclty the same philosophy and scheme that Cameron is known for.

quote:

I'll even go so far as to say rolling him out if OLine can't protect means we need a different QB, thus different scheme


This makes absolutely zero sense. Again there were a handful of times where we had to roll Mett out. You have to move the pocket if the O-line isn't protecting well. There were games where this was a necessity and the offense benefitted from that. You're acting like every play is either an option or a QB roll out. It sounds like you don't really have a clue what offensive scheme means.

quote:

We need a guy who can adjust what we do on offense when needed, we make NO adjustments to the gameplan in game


Yes we do, although that isn't a shceme issue, that's a play calling issue.

quote:

Our WR do not create separating consistently enough to do what we do.


Sure they do, there were numerous times this season where our receivers were open and we couldn't connect. That's not a scheme issue.

quote:

I absolutely agree execution was huge difference in 2011 vs 2012, but 2011 D/ST were ridiculous an aided a bad, although healthier and more competent offense.


The D/ST helped in 2011, but we were one of the most efficient offenses in the nation. That's what we need to get back to, being efficient.

1) no OC was fired. One was demoted and another was transferred,

2) miles didn't just realize this all of the sudden. He made the change from crowton. Krags became ill. Nobody could have predicted that so he sent stud to help out. The Krags/stud combo went 13-1 and had an offense with a pulse. We blew out almost every team we played in one of the toughest schedules we'd seen. The following year, not so much. So miles made a change.

So no, He didn't "finally accept that reality". He's made multiple changes to the offense each and every time we needed it after crowton's downfall.


this. i swear i think a large portion of the LSU fanbase pays absolutely zero attention to anything. They only watch the games to find something to bitch about on here.

"OMG!!! DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT TOSS DIVE!! OMG!! I HATE THAT PLAY SOOOOOO MUCH!!! AAAHHHH!!.....BARBEQUE!!!....HATE MILES!!!"

It amazes me we have won so many games in the last 4 years without a QB or offense. I worry about the up coming season with having lost most of our defense. I hope I am wrong but with our schedule I am afraid this is going to be a rebuilding year. Grey Tiger I am a true tiger fan & was raised in the La. swamps & went to LSU. I live in north Al. now but I am 10 times the Tiger fan u are. I wear my LSU stuff daily, I would like to see u up here & see if u had the balls to do the same. :rimshot:

better believe they helped. some guy on here made a compariosn with the 2006 squad saying our starting field position was close to the same. what that did not include was

1) points the D scored

2) points the ST scored

3) turnovers that the D caused which gave us more possessions than the 2006 squad among other things.

I am certain that there are many things in the world that amaze you.

I am also certain that there a lot of things that worry you.

No you don't. You are just waiting for LSU to have a disastrous season so you can come in here screaming, "I TOLD YOU SO. I TOLD YOU SO."

I am sure you are if you consider bashing practically every thing LSU or the coaching staff does makes you a "true" LSU fan. Pretending that your constant stream of negativity makes you a "fan" seems like pretty weak justification. But if it works for you, then have at it.

I can not imagine any situation where I would spend any time in North Alabama. Or Calcutta either for that matter. I am truly sorry that you are stuck there and I am beginning to understand your negativity now. You want to fit in with the Gumps.
Ok. Whatever.

And ya gotta love the execution part of the excuse



Especially in light of the decision to bench the SEC leader in pass efficiency after 8 games. It was due to poor execution, nothing to do with poor coaching

I don't understand people trying to prove they are somehow bigger LSU fans than others.

Also, if you have to repeatedly tell someone you are a great fan, you probably aren't. I am good at a lot of things, great at a few, people know because they see it not because I tell them.

Being from the swamps makes you the biggest fan ever though!!! Nobody gives a shite.

Because we were that good everywhere else, that team was ridiculously talented minus the qb


Thus, 13-1, SEC Champs, and NC runners up. Makes sense, especially when you consider the off the field problems, the insane SOS, and that LSU got put in the position of having to defeat beat a very good Bama team twice.

2011 is #2 all time in Offensive TDs scored, behind another Miles team, 2007. In fact Miles owns 4/5 top spots in that category.


10 other SEC teams broke all-time offensive records since Les started his tenure at LSU and since 2008 LSU is ranked 10th in the SEC (eta: out of 12 teams) when all offensive stats for those 5 years are totaled.

Do the math and enlighten yourself.

So you use other teams accomplishments to diminish LSU's?
I guess if your kid got an A in a class, you respond by telling him "so what, 10 other kids got one too"?
I'm not interested in other teams, unlike you, :theunknowngump:.

No offense but you are making LSU fans look retarded with that horrible analogy.

LSU is not "getting an A" in a vacuum. They are COMPETING for the highest grade in the class. Therefore, what does it matter if LSU's scores go up when 9 of their peers, those peers they compete with DIRECTLY, go up even higher?

Looking at the above, have you considered that maybe something has changed in modern day football that makes comparing to historical averages useless?

That's not all offensive stats, that's a ranking based on yardage. And doesn't really address the post you responded to about Miles' teams setting LSU records for offensive TDs

Now compare won/loss records. How many of those offense giants have better w/l's than LSU.
Enlighten us please.
