They also changed Burrow's throwing motion a little in the offseason. He was holding his off arm too far away from his body. He kept it much tighter in 2019. They discussed it on one of the broadcasts. I believe it was Blackledge.

Why do people sell the idea so hard that Joe Brady was the main reason for the success? Jamar Chase & Terrace Marshal plus another 5 star TE and an experienced O line = a pretty damn good offense still.

They won’t break records like 2019 but they’ll still be elite. You’re delusional if you can’t see that. Brady helped the WR’s as much as he helped QB1.

My guess would be the difference in production.

Don’t listen to these Idiots about Brady!

They didn’t know what’s being done in advance of games.

LSU choreographed these game plans and attacks months before the actual games

No one can defend this Spread and Shred

Brady didn’t call 30% of the plays.
There were 1125 plays in 2019
Ensminger called 1st & 2nd Downs
Brady called 3rd Downs — 183 Total Plays
183 Total Plays = 16% — Do the Math
LSU (Brady calls) converted on 91 total 3rd Downs (or roughly 50%)

LSU converted to first downs way more successfully on 1st and 2nd down

LSU had 418 TOTAL FIRST DOWNS

Only 91 were on third down! Most of the 327 first down conversions were Ensminger calls

Brady was in on every single play and they developed a Designed SHORT LIST of plays to use in Down & Distance vs Opps

Brady ensured the SAINTS PLAYBOOK & GAME PLAN OR TEMPLATE was sound versus film review. He taught Ensminger et al to review film 80 hrs a week to prep for games USING A DETAILED SAINTS TEMPLATE OR SERIES OF CHECKLISTS

Nothing is left to chance.

LSU knows EXACTLY HOW TO BREAK ANY DEFENSE

Myles sat with Joe going over game film and learning these defenses and their TELLS and how to beat them using the SHORT LIST OF PLAYS

Ensminger ran that short list to perfection on First and Second Downs.

SUMMARY: ENSMINGER CALLS ON FIRST AND SECOND DOWN RESULTED IN 75% Plus of LSU SUCCESS

Ensminger has been an offensive coordinator at several locations, not just at LSU !

I mean he certainly didn’t hurt our chances but our offense was gonna be legit no matter who we hired. My whole point is, we aren’t going anywhere. We will be in the mix to go back to Atlanta. Coach O is building a monster.

Ensminger scored zero points calling 100% of the plays against Alabama in 2018.

At home. With the same QB and WRs.

He certainly can't get any worse.

Yeah, I'm still expecting us to be a threat in the West and should be looking at an NY6 bowl. I will be disappointed if we aren't still a top 10 team at the end of the year.

I don't know, he got shut out vs Alabama the previous year and Joe Burrow did not look good at all. Like no way in hell does that guy get drafted not looking good.

With the talent that was on that team, even with that system the offense should have been better with good play calling.


None of the team had any chemistry and little experience, Burrow didnt even know many of his teammates names during the first game.

Burrow separated his shoulder two days before 2018 Bama.

LSU receivers dropped something like 10% of Burrow's passes in 2018.

Again, there were many reasons that 2018 LSU struggled.

Defense is going back to a 4-3 attacking defense that will be elite in the secondary and very strong up front. All new LBs, but one is a very good grad transfer and the other two have seen a good bit of playing time. We also have a couple of freshman LBs that Coach O has raved about. I'm excited to see what we can do attacking more on defense instead of sitting back more.

Can’t explain anything to A1abana fans!

They blamed Pete Goldwing and injuries for their Swiss cheese defense... But at the same time - they praise Lou for being a “defensive mastermind” and “recruiting wizard”.

A “defensive mastermind” isn’t letting Pete Goldwing call the shots - and a “recruiting wizard” would build a roster with depth to avoid injury fall off.

Hey scared parrot, you can wish in one hand for another 29-0 and shittt in the other and tell us which one fills up first.

Initial game plans for TX, FLA & BAMA are finished pending tweaking based on what that walking breathing CANCER (Gump words for Sark) shows in 2020 games leading to LSU.

Myles Brennan ALREADY KNOWS how to eviscerate your secondary (incl those drafted)

Dump Jones couldn’t find his own arse with both hands and a roadmap.

Gumps are Nov Road Kill

You think that will be enough to beat Alabama?

Like a red-headed stepchild with a sassy lip!

Game Plan is in place — Bama would love to get their paws on the initial game plan

Tweaking will engage what Sark throws out new in 2020 with Dump Jones.

O’s Baws gonna be ready to go thru brick walls — Sabah and his arrogant mofos got a beastial @$$ beating coming. Dump Jones is going to look like a fkn wreck at halftime.

I will say this: every time the tv cameras showed the coaches booth in every game during the regular season, I saw Brady talking most of the time and Ensminger just sitting there

I’m not saying Steve didn’t do anything. But the camera don’t lie. It was NOT 70% Steve imo
