WarEagle1983 2,185 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Stat, am I just crazy? I didn't think you were talking about using Jason Smith in the wildcat. Maybe we need some of your diagrams. :dunno:/> I wasn't. Wildcat would be fine but what I discussed has more variety and solutions. Thanks, that's what I thought. I think I can picture it in my head. But how would it be different from using Louis on the sweep? Hopefully Jason would go up field sometimes instead of finding the side lines all the time. That would be a good start. Jason needs to be moved all over the field. Put him at QB sometimes as well. The threat of Jason being able to pass brings more to the table than what Ricardo does.

gctiger 929 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I like the way Stat is thinking. I was going to post something similar but no where near as specific. I think it's critical to give the LSU defense different looks, that they haven't seen on film, from our first offensive play. I was thinking having a designed run by Jeremy as the first play just to show them that he will run. Follow it up with some kind of sweep or reverse and then mix in similiar types of plays occasionally to try to keep them thinking too much. The general idea is to sew seeds of doubt from the start and then repeat that process occasionally enough to keep them mentally distracted.

FoundationEagle 637 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 We definitely need some movement/speed sweep type of misdirection. It's been my argument all week that the lack of these things against JSU proved our game plan was vanilla because we saw it quite a bit against Louisville. Side note: I do find it funny that people are jumping off the JJ wagon, over White, over Queen and straight to Smith as who should get a chance at qb. I mean he has caught like 1 or 2 passes in his career, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this essentially the play where we fake 2 handoffs and throw deep? It got us a td in the last game. It can be used a ton of ways, of course. Not just the deep throw.

I mean he has caught like 1 or 2 passes in his career, right? I think the main reason some would want Jason over White is because he is the most athletic and mobile QB of White or Queen(he's done for the season--injury so it would be Wallace). Nick is still fresh on our minds and what he was able to do. Why switch to either one of those and run the same offense that you were with JJ? Jason would bring another element to the offense. I don't want to see a QB switch but if we had to do it...i would want to see if Jason could be serviceable enough passing to possibly take over. Again..i sure hope it doesn't come to any backup having to be the starter...barring injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close but the play you are referring to is normally the play AU runs coming out of the sugar huddle with the QB under center, QB fakes the end-around and throws deep.

So you don't miss him? I'm not ready to give up on JJ but it's not hard to see that a mobile QB adds another element that's hard to account for in Gus's offense.

AUbooger 0 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Wouldn't we rather see the offense function as planned and not have to change directions 2 GAMES in the season? Jason Smith will play a key role in games where throwing in the kitchen sink is necessary. First we need downhill running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
