That's the key point ! Hope Les gets back some of that fire and guts with more 4th and short first down attempts, instead of being uber conservative. I suspect once the O-line is more established, he will start , and hopefully, opening up.
Its easy to say that, but when you have a 3 week span of everyone from your: O'line RB's WR's QB Coaches Taking a dump on everything, your game changes drastically. I think it is easy to say," just air it out", but the reality of doing that and finding the results we want while not seeing those results once this year, I agree with controlling the game on the ground. I think we will ease into this passing game from here on.
No one wants or expects les to air it out. Developing one average passing year in the last 5 is a tad different than that exaggeration.
I don't think it is an exaggeration. We attempted a number of passes that, if worked, would have been well over 250 passing. We had something like 4 balls batted down at the LOS, add to that, Mett missed 3 TD passes. What I am saying is that, this is 100% logical, how plays work during game time dictate how the play calling moves forward. We are clearly tying to get this "average passing game" going. It is just not happening fast as some would like it too. Though if you can look at the game, it is very clear we are trying to develop this. This is were coaching to formulate an attack that allows for Mett to ease into this. I think last night was clear in that they attempted to do this.
That's fair. I won't dwell on the fact this development shoulda began long ago during our preseason games. Or maybe I will. Our coaching mindset needs correcting for this to not happen in the future.
You are right, it should have been years ago. But I mean, the work they put in this past week showed me a spark of change. Lets just hope they move forward with it.
Well said Pride. LSU did perform better and have a better passing attack this week. That said your comment 'how plays work during game time dictate how the play calling moves forward" was evident here and it pretty clear that is what Les did last night. We need better production in the red zone no doubt but most of our issues have been due to performance on the field rather than play call. For example we tried a version of the wild tiger with Ware as QB 2 twice. There were a variety of running plays that worked up to the 5 that failed and we tried several passes. Play calling depends on execution and as execution improves play calling will look better and there will be more opportunity for appropriate play calling.
You havent been paying aattention all season. It was the same play calling. The ONLY difference was good blocking.
