Rueben's problem isn't the play calling, its his work ethic.
every time we get him the ball, hes making guys miss and getting first downs. i dont think we use him near enough. i dont know about his work ethic, but he doesnt get the ball enough. as to why... i dont know either

I think it's as easy as he doesn't fully trust lee, solid running game, solid defense , he feels no need to risk it with lee since he doesnt fully trust him, not saying I agree with him but thats my opinion

hopefully it is on it's way to being fixed. He's taken some chances but they haven't worked out to this point...RP failure, Garrett gets fat, ZLee goes to baseball. If Mett pans out and Rivers/Randall develop then all will be well.

Each game is a different game. LSU has not had to open up the playbook as of yet, because the teams they were playing could not make them change up their gameplan. Miles is building Lee's confidence game by game. Why can't you guys see this?

ya, i agree with that. but this has been a problem since 09 with jefferson. this isnt a lee only problem, it goes much further than that. it just seems like we get worse and worse every year on offense, and the D keeps getting better to mask the offensive inefficiency. if youre playing D on this team, its gotta be frustrating.

We are just finding our way on offense this year. I see us improving as the year goes on. Lot of new players on O. Takes a while to mesh.

I agree that our o will need to improve to stand a chance at the NC

he has been doing better, game by game. but we started at such an infant stage this year, i have my doubts he will be SEC caliber when we need him. hes a 5th year senior, time to take the training wheels off. if hes not capable, we need to see if another QB on the roster is

true, true. especially with the odd off season, hiring a new OC, changing to another play caller right before the season started.

This is the best D we've had since 03. No one outside of Bama can beat us if we score more than 14 points. We're averaging over 30 a game. You wasted your time with this dissertation



Our offense is below average for the athletes we have.

I would say we're much better on offense this year...unless you're looking for some sort of gadget-heavy x-box show.

we have championship level talent and championship level defense.


i just dont understand why people are so short sighted. yes, were winning, and its great. but we'll need more from the offense. we need to throw that switch now to see if we have it, opposed to in the 4th qtr in BDS

this is pathetic logic. Yes we are all happy we are winning but you people accept an average offense with all these athletes. You people blow my mind Our offense put us in so many bad positions the last 3 years. It could easily affect some games this year. This offense is better than last year but that isn't saying much we need to get an identity. We can't throw 15 yard passes all night against great defenses.

We almost threw it 30 times against MSU with Lee at QB and an effective running game. I'm not sure what else you can ask for to be honest. Lee and Jefferson aren't trusted like Flynn and with good reason. We have a hundred times more of an identity now than we did the past two years.
