Topic: The Gaines experiment is over

I just want to see us use a tight end, or ends, the way that the vast majority of teams do in their passing games:  running slants or seam routes.  In other words running "north and south", more vertically. 

I am so sick of seeing us on pass play after pass play NOT using about 75% of the entire field on our pass routes.  Line up trips to one side or the other, and then run all of them along the sideline.  In many cases we have two receivers so close to each other along the sideline that ONE defender, cornerback, etc., can, and does, cover them both.  Often in the same formations, we'll have one or two receivers on the other side of the field, and both of them run along the sidelines on the other side of the field.   In those trip situations why not run one guy on a longer out pattern, one guy run and short down and out, 5, 6, or 7 yards down field, and have the 3 guy run a slant across the middle (or run a longer post pattern)??    How many times Friday night did Boise's QB in key situations, hit a tight end or other receiver on a straight route down the field, a seam pattern, etc.??

We need to play offensive football.  Run and pass the staples of the game.  Mix them up keep the D guessing. Things that are football.  The NFL Pass game coord from Saints that is now at LSU engineered a nearly a 500 yd passing attack.  You want a marshall passing attack back bring on Leftwich!!!  College coaches can’t handle nfl passing game concepts that some teams have. Saints pats chiefs.  Those coaches can turn college offenses around quickly.

He wasn't the Saints' passing game coordinator. He was just a general offensive assistant who brought the system to LSU.

College coaches have been "handling" NFL passing game concepts for more than a decade considering that's where it started. The NFL has taken the passing game of college ball to their level. The passing concepts in the NFL aren't anything different than what has been used for decades at the college level. Hal Mumme (the racist and xenophobe), Mike Leach, etc. are the creators of these offenses which have evolved in college for years now and are finally getting to the NFL.
