Just seems to me that the plays, themselves, require TOO MUCH development. How often do we miss third down conversions with 3, 4, or 5 yards to go? Answer: a lot. And it's because our passing plays on those downs require too much surveying by the QB AFTER the snap. There seems to be zero time devoted in practice to timing, timing, timing. Third and four... how tough is it for a receiver to go right past the sticks and curl in or out? Or a quick slant? The QB should be behind center surveying BEFORE the snap, and deciding which of those targets is most likely to get open, and then at the snap... BAM, if that's not there then BAM, go to the second guy. What I see are too many short yardage plays that demand a passing pocket. Give me evidence of where I'm incorrect, or I'm sticking with my evaluation that Cam Cameron is a scam.
It's evident there are no timing passes. No quick passes, nothing for medium gains. It seems there are 4 passes in the playbook and every one of them is deep. And it doesn't help with you receivers looking like hot garbage every time a balls thrown their way.
I don't think I've ever seen anything like what we have seen at LSU. It's not that Miles doesn't field a capable offense, he just can't do it. What we saw with Mett, Landry and Beckham was a total fluke. I can't for the life of me figure out how a guy who gets paid this much money can just run the same shit product out there week after week. He should be fired today. Unfortunately it won't happen. But he doesn't deserve another dime nor does he deserve to wear the P&G anymore. I hate to say that but 4 out of the last 6 SEC games are losses and 6 out of the last 6 SEC games he has failed to field an offense even with a generational tailback and teams daring us to throw. Les Miles has squandered more talent than any coach in history. He is Larry Coker on steroids. This has to end, he must be put out of his misery.
It's not all about QB development although that's a gargantuan issue. However the entire offense is a steaming pile of dog sheet! Philosophy, playcalling, player development, time management, creativity, getting the ball to playmakers, spreading the ball around and the list continues into infinity.
The reason Miles has never developed a QB is because his offense does not need one. If he could get away with running the wishbone he would. Opposing coaches know this and simply stack the box to force the 3rd down desperation pass play. For now, Etling looks like a breath of fresh air. It's only a matter of time before this offense turns him into another JJ/AJ/BH.
His comment at half time was we needed more medium to long passes in the second half. That is all he knows run,run,run and when pressured to pass, go long. It's no wonder D coordinators take a week off when they play us, not much to prepare for.
At first look all that speed and athleticism scares the hell out of opposing DCs then they watch film and realize that Miles has no clue how to get them the ball. An opposing DCs wet dream!
No dangerous passes made at LSU. Etling has already started bailing out of the pocket too soon now as well. CLM and CAM have infected him. CLM says it in every post game, "I think Danny" did the things "we asked him to do" The QB position at LSU is tainted. It's poorly coached, handcuffed and micro managed with too much damn pressure. There is no such thing as taking what the defense gives you in our coaching staffs mind. Phuck all that, you stick to damn game plan son.
