Deckhead 6 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Asking if the reason he's not running is the lack of a backup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowrider 0 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 He is not Cam Newton but who is. He runs like a guy who is 6-5 and not playing WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckhead 6 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 The reason I ask is it looks like we continue to run the read option. With no reason to fear a qb run. They just key on the. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I'm actually hoping it's been on purpose not to run him yet and we're going to surprise some people I'd like to see us open up the Read Option again. Judging by JJ's ability to read the coverages, maybe the coaches don't have faith in his ability to read the DE. So they call it but don't let him read it.

mom2kid 216 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Uh what makes you think we are holding JJ back? He has yet to show that he can scramble, elude pressure, or throw effectively on the run. What we've seen is what we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keesler 5,924 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Uh what makes you think we are holding JJ back? He has yet to show that he can scramble, elude pressure, or throw effectively on the run. What we've seen is what we have This!No one is holding JJ back right now. We went to OT vs freaking JSU for crying out loud. JJ can't read coverages, he can't run the ball, and he is a liability in the passing game. I'm baffled with Gus and Rhett right now, this offense is not effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTiger 3,901 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Uh what makes you think we are holding JJ back? He has yet to show that he can scramble, elude pressure, or throw effectively on the run. What we've seen is what we have but none of that has anything to do with executing the zone read. It's quite possible the coaches have not called this to keep something new for lsu. Not definite but possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Scout 92 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 so far i am starting to beleive that gus's offense needs a dual threat qb. i think we need to have another qb ready to go against lsu if johnson starts out bad. barber needs to be our running back the majority of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,397 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I would guess that we have not been running a true read running game and that the "options" have been predetermined by the coaches. JJ doesn't seem to ride the mesh point (I think that is the proper lingo) nearly as long as I would assume is necessary to make the read. But what the heck do I know ...

Tiger Scout 92 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 hell the defense new it was going to be a hand off because he never runs. i am starting to remember frazier all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGLEATON 1,244 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Uh what makes you think we are holding JJ back? He has yet to show that he can scramble, elude pressure, or throw effectively on the run. What we've seen is what we have but none of that has anything to do with executing the zone read. It's quite possible the coaches have not called this to keep something new for lsu. Not definite but possible. I hope you are right... our offense is definitely harder to defend and works better with the threat of a running quarterback... Other thing... Peyton is the key, we need to make first downs... be able to drive the ball and NOT just rely on big plays, they will come. You knew Cam would convert when we needed it... and Mason was a 3rd and 4th down converting machine... Cam had dyer to offset his threat... and Mason had Marshall as a threat... to give other teams something to think about. Either JJ becomes at least a threat to run (doesn't have to be a world beater, but Peyton can't do it all against the better teams) or they will stuff Peyton and force throws... get Peyton a bit of help/ dual threat running the ball and might just be Mason 2.0.... and the passing game will open up more too. The Quarterback position obviously has to make better decisions. But the Play calling and game planning has to adjust to what we have to work with and quickly... game management and stop shooting ourselves in the foot. What good is it to have all the talented skill players if you can't get the ball to them in space... I know most of this stuff is obvious and we all see some problems, but I still think this team has a lot of young talent that needs to step up... I just hope the coaches can make some real changes / adjustments in one week for LSU and have a great game plan the players can execute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far JJ is not that. I am just lost on where the qb went that looked very solid if not excellent in both his freshman and sophomore season.

He played meaningless, pressure-less minutes before this season. A few of us tried to point that out. Even we didn't see him being this bad, though.

He has yet to show that he can scramble, elude pressure, or throw effectively on the run. What we've seen is what we have And when he runs, he either gets 0 yards or forgets where the 1st down marker is. He can physically accomplish taking snaps, handing off, running and passing, but is not engaging the brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
