I was under the impression that Mullen had a super simple passing scheme, and he couldn't make the reads. Not saying he won't be more successful, but I feel like it would be comparing Doug Johnson to Danny, Shane or Rex in SOS's system.

I think it would stand to reason that DC's at places like Bama, Auburn, and others will be better prepared next year. And honestly, I'm really interested to see how UGA does today on defense. But I would have to think that jamming the WR's (where we let free releases) is probably enough to throw Franks off. Obviously you have more faith in the kid than I do. He's just two years removed from thinking it was ok to run out of bounds instead of throwing it away. I don't anyone can expect him to be close to what Burrow did this year.

Watch the Auburn tape, that's how you defend LSU's offense.

Weren't they basically rushing four, with an occasional 5th and jamming guys? I didn't get to watch too much of it, so I don't really remember.

All that is good in theory but we had people running wide open last year. This year with this OL we had to throw the ball quicker so the deeper routes did not have time to develop.

Not just jamming guys but playing them physically all the way through. It did not help that they actually got pressure with Brown and Marlon Davidson and Coe(?). We could not get any pressure on Burrow because the middle of our defense was weak and our ends were injured.

Or, what the Grantham strategy and do the opposite. LOL
I do think we would have played press more if we had Greenard and Zuniga (or even if Cox was granted immediate PT). But he made a decision and I really didn't see much of an adjustment throughout the game.

remind me which quarterback became a better passer under Mullins instead of regressing every year?

Truth is though, if he's as talented as you think, surely the NFL will give him a high enough grade that he'll be gone. And his lack of humility would certainly push him to declare with even a so-so grade

I think Trask does a better job pre snap of diagnosing the play. The ball usually comes out quick and on schedule. When he's wrong, he usually hits defenders in the chest. Franks struggled in that area. It's why the offense didn't feel fluid with him. He was rarely on schedule. He always had to run around before completing a pass. That's indicative of someone that isn't processing the defense pre snap.

But I agree that he's got a chance to be pretty good in another offense. The kid has some natural ability. And we're kidding ourselves if we don't see that. I wanna see Franks in a downfield passing offense. Longer developing routes, true run game. I think he may work in a system like that.
