I fully agree that the constant looking to the sidelines for the plays is killing any rhythm the team might be getting. Eventually the coaches will have to unleash the JJ and the O, trusting him to make the deep throws and checks.
I understand a lot of the negative comments associated with this thread; however, how do we know what will or won't transpire during the actual game? Miles is challenging teams to load the box against us, and if they do, they will pay for it. Who's to say that GA or any other team that continues to do this won't pay for it? Someone else said it, and I agree -- once we burn GA or anyone else a few times, they won't continue to load the box, and that in turn will help to open up the running game. Let's have some faith in our team and the coaching staff. JJ has shown steady improvement and seems to me he has the talent to burn a few defenses. I'm just as critical as the next guy and don't like it when LSU loses, but let's see if Miles and co. can back this up before we make judgments. :geauxtige
He's not very hightly regarded by a lot of his fans either. I thought you were leaving? All mouth.:dis:
Speaking for myself. The reason I say Ill believe it when I see it is because its been pretty obvious we have to start at least attempting to go down the field more to keep the opposing D honest. Yet we havent seen it until the Miss St game and only a few times. Most of which worked. You should be trying to iron out weaknesses in your easier games, not these upcoming games which are against much better opposition. Also, last year we kept hearing a pep talk speech about how the team will improve the upcoming week. Yet we seen the same thing the following week we seen in the previous. Sorry I dont have the rose colored glasses on. I just dont see much change from last years team in their mentality. I only see a few players out there that have that fire.
It was waiting for JJ to hit the long ball.... Can't exactly threaten someone that you'll burn them deep if they load the box if you can't hit the deep ball.
