good call. SEC regular season #1 scoring offense.

*Mett had 5 passing TDs in yesterday's 120 play scrimmage.


Weak secondary.

It was a redzone scrimmage, genius.

. All I know is our down field passing will be much improved

Yes it should be much better than the last few games, can't be worse.


The passing was fine until JJ was inserted. Lee was #1 in SEC through about eight games. Will be hard for a new starter to top that.

if our running game is just equal to last year's

Again comes down to coaching, will Les continue to ride Ware, Mr.3.99 or will he let the more talented players get more carries.

I never stated McElwain and TR were the reasons Bama was good on offense last year.

---

Then what was?

quote:

---

Wait so of 120 plays in the redzone, he only had 5 TD's?

---

Miles stated many of his touchdowns were in situational redzone plays.

OL will always be most important grouping while Saban is there. That's why next year could be shaky unless he develops some guys this year, which I don't expect him to do.

McElwain was also very good, I posted earlier today that I have concerns with a new guy.

LSU #1 SCORING OFFENSE IN SEC LAST SEASON

---

Not exactly. Take away points contributed by defense and ST and LSU's offense did not lead the SEC in points scored.

Okay, I'll rephrase. We ran the ball effectively and were a very good scoring offense all season. We did have games where I was sort of "WTF" but we also had times when we couldn't be stopped offensively like the second half of the Georgia game. But we also had games like Kentucky. So you're right, to a degree. JJ wasn't the only awful quarterback at times.

---

That's all I was asking for. My main point was we have a lot of room to build on. To sit around and say we had the number 1 offense in the SEC and not look at the big picture just didn't sit well with me. We moved the ball, but at times struggled to get momentum going. That inconsistency built as the season progressed for a number Of reasons.

I would like to see a little more consistency from the offense as a whole, and not just the QB. There were a number of issues that effected the direction offense last year. Some we can correct, and some we just have to work around.

We really need to get these younger guys more experience since we lose many players this year. The sooner we can move to backups the better.

I agree with you. There are certainly areas that we need to improve upon as an offense. No doubt about it. My confidence stems from returning the offensive line and losing some of the lesser players on that line, returning every running back from a team that ran for 2800, a new quarterback, and Odell in his second year.

Actually you finished 2nd again, this time to Arkansas and only by a full point.

When I said in the SEC I'm only referring to league play -- But yeah...you got me on that.
