🏈 LSU's DeAngelo Peterson says whole offense was disappointed with BCS play-calling (Senior Bowl noteb

[BAMANEWSBOT]

MOBILE, Alabama -- WWL New Orleans radio host Bobby Hebert apparently wasn't the only one bothered by LSU's play-calling in the Tigers' 21-0 BCS championship game loss to Alabama. LSU tight end DeAngelo Peterson said he was disappointed, too.

MOBILE, Alabama -- WWL New Orleans radio host Bobby Hebert apparently wasn't the only one bothered by LSU's play-calling in the Tigers' 21-0 BCS championship game loss to Alabama.
LSU tight end DeAngelo Peterson said at Tuesday's Senior Bowl practice he was disappointed, too.


"The play-calling bothered the whole offense," said Peterson, who is playing on the South squad in the Senior Bowl this week. "We felt like we had a good game plan that would work, that would help us do things, and I feel like the coaches didn't use the game plan. They were doing stuff that we never did all year.


"The game plan was to spread the ball out, get the ball to me, get the ball to Rueben (Randle), let Russell (Shepard) run the ball every now and then, give the ball to our running backs. In that game, Russell played like two plays, Rueben had like one ball, I had one ball. I think they went away from the game plan. ... I feel like if they had went to the game plan and given the playmakers the ball, they would have done something with the ball."


Peterson has been channeling his frustration in a constructive manner this week, impressing Fox Sports' Charles Davis with his blocking and receiving skills this week.


"I actually saw him block someone who's probably in the top 10 of the draft -- I'm not going to use any names -- but I thought he did a real nice job in some of those blocking drills," Davis said of the 6-foot-2, 230-pound Peterson. "That's a big, big deal. I think he's got hands, he's got that athletic ability to move and we'll see how that continues to progress this week."

A couple of weeks ago, just after that Monday night, Porter made a post with one question, "Processed?"

I considered how a loss like that one, on a stage like that one, would effect a teams psyche.

My first thought was along the lines of "I'm sure Miles is somewhat thankful that Lee and Jefferson and a few of the others have moved on. It'll give him the opportunity to say, 'New year, new team, new philosophy.'"

Yet, we are still hearing complaints about a coaching staff that was...Lost?

If we continually hear about the disappointment players and fans felt about the game and the decisions made by the coaching staff it's making me lean towards the notion that disappointment isn't going to be weeded out by attrition alone.

IF Miles can get LSU back to a BCS game in 2012 he'll having proven a little of his mettle when it comes to being a head coach. If not, this game very well may define his career.

ive been thinking the same thing. out of all the goofy trick plays called and all the things that made him the "mad hatter" all of those have seem to be outshined by this debacle. that bcs game could very well be what everyone looks back on when u mention les miles. i think this season is critical for him.

Miles may have other plans.

Miles may have other plans.

It's the off-season. Let's go with that for a second. All hypothetical...

We can safely say the NFL does have its eccentric personalities. Rex Ryan is as good of an example as any I suppose.

How do you think NFL owners view Miles idiosyncrasies?

I think they could do alot worse than Miles. Hes got some years under his belt and has done well in the toughest conference in college football. Alot of teams in the NFL are struggling to find some sort of identity and a jump start....I can see an owner taking a chance on him.....they have taken chances on alot worse.

Ive been wondering the same thing. Look back at the last few years at the programs Bama has not just beaten on the field, but broken.

Tennessee when we shut them out the entire second half.. although they had help from Kiffin they havent recovered since that loss.
Georgia- The Blackout, and yes they made it to ATL this year but most likely becuase of a pretty weak division. They are just now showing signs of recovering.
Florida- Made Urban quit, beat their asses, and they clearly have not been the dominate team they were 3 years ago.
Texas- Coach Mac gets a raise and then they all want him gone because he can barely keep his team over .500

Saban and Bama dont just beat teams on the field, they have the ability to break programs. This is one of those wins that may very well have broken LSU and Les Miles. He has a ton of returning talent next year and should be the #1 team going into 2012.... so all we can do is wait and see how they respond.... will they bounce back like Saban does, or will they be processed?

What's the nickname given to Bob Stoops a few years ago: Big Game Bob, or something like that?

I look at two programs, UGA and Clemson, as two that were "processed." Both have had a degree of success this past season. But, when it came to the "big stage," both fell short.

With LSU, I don't know if they start the season ranked at the top. You use the term "should be" and I'm not sure I agree with that. Sure, they are returning a lot of talent but they are also losing quite a few as well. I do believe we see the first polls of 2012 with more than three or four teams receiving first place votes. Let's set Bama aside. I have no doubts we'll see USC and LSU getting first place votes. I wouldn't be surprised to see Oregon and even Oklahoma get a few as well. (speaking of processed, expect UGA to be in the top 10. It's going to be the first season I can remember where we don't see UGA and USCe play in Sept. They have Mizzou, but other than that they'll likely be undefeated when they travel to Cola and may still be undefeated at the Cocktail party.)

Summing all of this up. Several of these teams will be ranked, highly. How they respond when the spotlights are on? There's our question.
