You guys are pretty upset still after I told you I didn't think it really mattered or that LSU's offense would suffer.

Could be something to do with you making stuff up...

Are you under the impression that anyone is arguing against this? You're talking about calling plays and leading an offense which is different than having the knowledge of a type of offense.


You do realize I was responding to this right?

I didn't, but you guys can keep on pretending calling redzone and 3rd down plays are the easy and least important play calls if it that's big of a deal to you.

That's taking about calling plays, not coming into the season with the knowledge of the offense we wanted to run. Are you high?

Yeah, he asked if I thought that, I answered for the reason I posted, you took issue with it because you agreed with and... why?

The west coast offense is not new. Should be interesting.

Are we pretending that Brady knew how to call plays and run an offense despite having no prior offensive coaching experience?


Are we pretending every OC in existence had been calling plays long before they got the job? Or was there a time when they first started calling plays?

Weird how LSU didnt immediately name him OC since he was apparently "Football Jesus."


Not as weird as how you find only the words that make you butthurt and not the ones like "I don't think it matters, LSU's offense isn't going to suffer".

I think you like it.

It will be interesting to see how the dynamic works with Ensminger, Linehan and Brennan. Then, will Coach O trust them the same as in 2019. Let's not forget that his approach to offense in 2019 was a complete 180 from what he's done his entire career.

First time playcallers dont produce the greatest college football offense ever right out of the gate.

And those guys usually have some other offensive coaching experience.

What is hilarious about it?

As for Alabama, I think our redzone and 3rd down play calling hasn't been all that great at times under these RPO systems. Tua seemed to struggle in the red zone when he wasn't able to hit a player in stride with space to work when playing better defenses.

vs Clemson it was 4-13 on 3rd downs. The yards Alabama did manage in that game were mostly on longer fields. When the fields got short, the offense failed. 6-15 on 3rd downs vs LSU last year. Struggle in the red zone. 2 Tds vs LSU were long passes over 50 yards, the others featured Najee Harris.

So yeah, I think 3rd downs and redzone plays are pretty damn important.

If Joe isn’t Joe that play is a sack...

How is that your example?

you werent commenting on implementing concepts of a spread or the principles of Sean's offense in New Orleans that he may have adopted. The functional contributions Joe Brady made to LSU.

No one would argue that he didnt have a hand in creating the weekly game plan(so did Joe Burrow for that matter), or some of the play calling(so did Joe Burrow for that matter)

However suggesting he is the golden goose for LSU's offensive resurgence last season is misguided.

Once LSU decided to be committed to leaving the 1950s offense in the past, the most important thing was to have the talent on the field and LSU did in 2019.

If/When LSU takes a step back offensively this year is it because they lost Joe Brady or is it because they lost a no.1 overall pick QB, a 1st round WR, a 1st round RB, and 3 OL that were all drafted
