LSU offense '07: A spread/passing oriented attack?

What continues to amaze me is that folk see the spread as exclusively being some form of fast strike attack. With incomplete passes the clock stops for a period that it would be running if the play was a rush. That, in itself, gives additional time to rest for the D while leaving more game clock to score. The passing game also is designed to be a ball control offense, it just so happens that much greater pressure is put on backs to make one on one tackles, and when they are missed, big plays result. In a true spread, the RB will still touch the ball numerous times, many more times than any other skilled player. This isn't a bombs away offense, it is much better than that. I have been waiting to see some teams that can match talent on both sides of the ball run this thing. I think you will be very happy with the results.

 

Yeah if I was a bama fan I would be worried too! Your dbs will have a long afternoon in November!:lol: $atan better start teaching the grab and hold or doucet might break Josh reed's record of 295 yards. Who was that against again? Oh yeah those great bama dbs :bncry: I can't wait for the destruction!

Bama has no edge what so ever!

Patiently waiting for the day you can respond to something without trying to turn it into some kind of smack contest.

 

sounds like someone has done their mouse davis homework.

Well the wait is over! I do not live in Birmingham anymore, so I havent stayed in touch with some sources. Do you expect Bama to cover LSU receivers next year. If you remember correctly when $aban was at LSU his defense gave up a lot of yards and points his first couple of years without his personnel. I EXPECT a lot of mistakes on defense for bama, because the defense is so complex. Kelly Washington lit up our dbs for 256 yards in 2001, I think LSU will have a similar time next year, because of missed assignments. There ya go, just opinions about how hard it will be to adjust to $aban's defense.:thumb:

 

A passing type of attack can eat up a lot of clock if managed
properly. Just look at what NO did in some of their games.
If BP's D is holding OT to 3 and out, just how long are they on the field??

Re: <------------

And, I've stated the very same thing on this forum countless times. Not only does it take awhile for his D scheme to be implemented, the type of players he looks for aren't the type we've been recruiting for the last few years.

You could have done without mentioning Kelly Washington...there's a player I had ZERO respect for...what was his self-proclaimed nickname?

FWIW, I think the biggest adjustment is going to be along the DL and LB corps. DL because they've been running an inside-out technique and are switching to and outside-in technique. The LB's because we've been running with 3...and switching to the 3-4 scheme.

As to the DB's, playing agressive along the LOS isn't something they haven't had experience with. Neither is the fact they'll be playing a lot of man coverage. Our CB's have been doing that for several years now. Now, I do expect a learning curve with the S positions.

I can't stand him too, but that goes that for most tenn players.
