Williams 130 yards Guice 160 yards What's the main factor? Was it play calling that opened holes? Or does Guice add a spark to this team that Fournette doesn't. I watched Fournette on the sideline and I didn't see any enthusiasm.
Fournette has been hurt all season. I believe there has to be some frustration with how this season is turning out. He had big goals.
It's been the bullshit offense, no fault of fournette. Fournette is legit, just being pissed away by miles.
I think it's just a new life has been breathed into the team. If I had to guess, it was a combination of a lot of things to make the team strong. But calling pass plays when usually a run would be called forced the defense to respect the pass, which in turn opened up the run. Weird how that works.
Watching the game tonight it was clear that everyone associated with the team knew it was time for a change except Les and Cam. The kids may love Les but even they knew the time had come. Football is supposed to be fun and tonight was fun to watch. All it took was a few minor tweaks to the offense... that's the shame of it all. Les was his own worst enemy.
The most damning part IMO is that what we saw last night....was basically Les and Cam's offense, just run competently. Playcalling that exploited and created mismatches and kept the D honest. All without Fournette. Different looks with the same formations to do likewise. Realizing there's a wide open part of the field called the middle to run routes to. Getting plays in from the sideline in a time frame that didn't look like they were trying to solve a multi-dimensional calculus problem. Procedural penalties virtually non-existent. Ensminger didn't just arrive in Baton Rouge yesterday. This reeks of a situation where Les never took any real input from anyone besides his cronies. Having seen this, I absolutely can believe rumors about changing offensive game plans on game day to run the same Les-ball bullshit.
I've always said I don't have a problem philosophically with Miles' O, just the way it's ran. It's a damn shame. If these guys can keep this up we don't need to hire the flavor of the month.
