Within the halls of Justice government power is a zero sum game that the laws of men are "Use sum or lose em."



Tinker:

I have a law too, be careful with your life and don't go walking out on thin ice when and where you can't see clearly. Faith will only work if you truly believe because uncertainty will just waste your time.

What good is faith then if you yourself are not saved. And if you are saved and believe, nothing on this earth can harm you. Because this time on earth is only the blink of a eye within god's vast universe. A dimension that we sense is there but realize then we are but a speck of life compared to everything else.

Whatever my feeling are about other people I have a suspicion that god real image is so breathtaking that we will need to transformer into another life form so we can keep our spirit of the body we leave behind. If you really believe in God, what do we need from the society mistakes of other people. When you believe in God there is no argument.

Barack Obama quote,"I never said my red line"

Tinker:

Casablanca gambling? I'm shocked! Ha ha ha, that is what I thought of when I heard president Barack Obama tell the reporter in Sweden that he did not say "his red line".

It really is amazing that he said that to the millions of people all over this world who are trying to be honest in spite of all the crime and deceit around them.

Absolutely incredible when you realize that with videos and modern computers recording everything we say and do, that Obama was trying to get from under his own threat of giving Syria his red line speech, by openly now saying he meant "the worlds red line "
We are really in trouble ladies and gentlemen, Obama is acting like a swine.

Related:

Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was caught shocked on-camera after learning during an interview that President Barack Obama had denied drawing a “red line” on Syria.

During her interview, Fox News host Greta Van Susteren highlighted Obama’s Wednesday statement that he didn’t alone draw a “red line.”

“He did draw it!” Rumsfeld interjected.

“I’m just telling you what he said,” Van Susteren replied.

“You’re kidding,” he said. “I didn’t see that.”

“This president has tried to blame everybody or anybody, for everything,” Rumsfeld continued. “And leadership requires that you stand up, take a position, provide clarity, and take responsibility. I can’t imagine him saying that he didn’t draw the red line. He did draw a red line. We have ears!”

Tinker:

The creepy hypocrite Washington DC political fly's are swarming around the democratic party heads at will now as we also see these deceitful fly's flying around a lot of people who called themselves republican. The Washington DC shell game is now exposed. The American people must now choose among themselves and stay determinant to break this corruption that Washington DC has put us in. Stay strong and honest. Break the spell, and swat the filthy political fly's away from the peoples government.

I hope that the American people's fascination with celebrity is playing itself out in a very real way. Because our government is really the wrong place for such nonsense. I hope that the younger generation on their own finally sees that what goes around does in reality come around.

And then there will be no one to blame but themselves when everything becomes too expensive to own, or buy, as they keep wallowing around in worthless government free stuff.

Tinker:
James Carville was wrong about telling the democratic party to stand behind Obama care, and of course Carville is now also wrong about blaming Obama red line on George W. Bush Iraq war mistakes. James Carville is getting his political advice wrong too many times now. Maybe he should simply relax and start watching LSU play football in stead.

Carville had a winning streak helping Bill Clinton politically in winning the presidency, back in the day. But what has he really done for the American people anyway. He seem to equality value the politicians tricks of the trade of getting political people elected to office with the American citizens well being. So James Carville has helped to keep the United States government political corruption flowing for as long as the eye can see. Just another bull talking kind of guy, you know what I mean. In fact, I stop listening to Carville a long time ago.

Tigers did the same things -- just better -- against TCU
9/4/2013 

By CODY WORSHAM

Tiger Rag Editor

Certainly, the vocabulary of Les Miles is a quality one, with a want to be very, very significant.
Now, step in front of the mirror, grit your teeth, and, setting your bulkiest LSU ball cap as high as your head will allow, re-read the preceding sentence aloud. Toss in a "so you know” here or there, and you’re on your way to a half-decent Miles impression.
It’s an interesting piece.

Of late, however, another word has worked its way into Miles’ lexicon, one that hasn’t always carried the positive connotations associated with his other go-to terms.

Execute.

A combination of the Latin prefix "ex” (meaning "out”) and the Latin stem "sequor” (meaning "follow”), the word ‘execute,’ by its most basic definition, means "to follow out an order.”

Such has been Miles’ meaning when using the word in the past, but he has too often had to use the word to note LSU’s lack of execution on offense.

"We need to execute,” Miles said after the Tigers managed just six points in a road loss to Florida in October 2012.

His players, like attentive children, picked up on their coach’s lingo.

"There’s no excuses, we've got to execute better offensively,” said quarterback Zach Mettenberger after the same Florida loss.

The language continued through the summer and into the 2013 preseason, even with the arrival of new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron.

"Certainly we're ready to make the calls,” Miles said last week ahead of the TCU game. "Now you’ve got to execute and win.”

Again, the players followed the company line.

"We have to execute and we have to execute on every play,” Mettenberger said last week. "In order for the offense to work, every player on the field has to do their job.”

All this talk of execution and following orders, and yet prior to LSU’s 37-27 win over TCU on Saturday, you almost got the feeling that LSU’s offense was using the wrong definition of the word.
You see, ‘execute’ can also mean "to carry out a death sentence,” and LSU’s offense in recent years has been, at times, lifeless.

With Cameron’s arrival, many fans felt that offensive life would be restored, and Saturday, it was. The Tigers racked up 37 points and 448 total yards against a TCU defense that will end up being one of the better units in the nation.

And yet, the only thing different about LSU’s offense was that oft-repeated word. LSU executed.
In Cameron’s first game, the offensive philosophy remained the same. On Saturday night, as in 2012 and 2011 and just about every season under Miles, LSU was a run-first, ball-control offense.

On its 62 first and second down plays, the Tigers threw the ball just 18 times, or 29 percent of the time. The rest of the time, LSU relied on the same power running offense, complete with pulling guards and beefy fullbacks and tough-nosed tailbacks plunging head-first into a stacked box, with a pro-style passing attack as a complement.

For the game, LSU had 48 carries for 197 yards, good for an average 4.1 yards per carry. Both the total rushing yardage and yard per carry numbers are basically identical to LSU’s averages from a year ago.

What was different about the offense, then?

"I liked the execution,” said Mettenberger. "At times.”

What times? Well, third down, for one, particularly through the air. The Tigers converted 13-of-19 third downs, eight of those coming courtesy of Mettenberger’s arm. That kept the chains moving, and kept TCU’s defense on the field, slowly draining them of the energy needed for late stops.
Of course, it wasn’t perfect, hence the "at times.” There were hiccups, missed assignments, and dropped passes. But, generally speaking, LSU’s offense looked much better for four quarters Saturday night than it has at any time in recent history.

The routes were crisper. The blocks were more impactful. The throws were more accurate. The cuts were more decisive.

The difference wasn’t Cameron’s play-calling, because all the play-calling has ever been is an easy scapegoat.

Sure, there were tweaks. Cameron threw out some new formations. Odell Beckham Jr. got a few sweeps. Mettenberger stopped tossing the ball on the power run and instead handed it off, which only made the play action more convincing. And more than once, Cameron actually used the pass to  set up the run, rather than depending exclusively on the run to set up the pass.

Still, for the most part, the LSU offense did what it’s always done.

It just did what it’s always done better.


And now, it’s about continuing to do those things better.

"There were great things,” Miles said. "We controlled the game the entire time. There are some things we need to fix. The things that we did right we need to do over and over again. The guys can have the success they deserve.”

Cameron’s impact is already evident, but it’s not that he’s changed a flawed offense, because the offense, by design, was never flawed.

Instead, Cameron has found a way to improve LSU’s execution, and if that trend continues, it will be opposing defenses, rather than LSU’s offense, feeling lifeless when the clock hits zero.

Decent article and I get your premise behnd it, but still few fans, and no one in the media gets it. You almost touched on it in your conclusions, but did not elaborate on it. Yes, we still have a power running game, and try to establish the run first for the most part and that has not changed. No one really expected it to. But what no one seems to get is the fact that there is a very distinct reason why our execution was better and why most of our offensive plays were successful. Our offensive coordinator made some tweaks in how the offense can execute its plays, how to line up to accomplish a better execution and to keep the defense honest. Those changes to most observers would seem subtle to none existent. But when you really look at them, one can see just how different and necessary those changes were.

Examples: alignment of receivers changed; routes changed (even saw a crossing pattern which was never run before by LSU in at least the past six years), we showed bubble but did not run it; we ran the same power G run on multiple occasions along with a delayed hand off attacking the same area but ran it out of several different formations so that the defense did not see it coming, including running it out of at least three different formation types; pulling guards and tackles which has not been used in years to level the playing field at the point of attack where teams have stacked against our run game; a quick end around, instead of a slow developing reverse, using the wr as a running back and taking a step away from the defenders overplaying the run to the opposite side fake; spreading out a tight end who is 6'5) and having him run a deep endzone route across the middle (would have been a t.d. to Desean but for interference by TCU which was not called); running off shoulder outside shoulder passes on go routes; false step routes to stop the coverage and create separation; and my favorite: throws over the middle of the field to force the defense to defend the entire secondary, not just the flats or outside the hash marks (something we have not seen since Jarrett Lee threw all those interceptions over the middle in 2008).

These adjustments enabled the offense to be more productive and execute better than ever, because the plays were altered in how they were run and how our players were positioned to hide what we were running and make us less predictable on certain downs. If the defense is not so sure what you are running, or if you are passing or running, or what type of run it is, then the offense can execute better than when the alternative is attempted. I'm just sayin.

Truly guys I liked what I saw in the LSU successfully passing game over the bunch up head of TCU defense. All in all the LSU players did "Execute" their offensive plays much better, in making the first down that they were failing to get last year.

Less Miles should get the credit that he deserves in hiring Cam Cameron and how well the entire LSU coaching staff is getting the LSU players to execute what they are doing better with the football.

Les Miles should get the coaching credit that he deserves so far in this 2013 football season. I with him, "I like what I saw"

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report

The hot topic of discussion among Tiger fans is yesterday's commitment of Cameron Robinson to Alabama. There's no doubt that missing out on Robinson (6'6", 320, West Monroe, No. 3 on my list of Top LA Prospects for 2014) is a big loss for LSU, and it hurts all the more knowing that he chose Alabama. I'm not going to tell you that it's no big deal, because it is. But I also won’t perpetuate the misconception that Alabama comes in every year and picks and chooses the best players in Louisiana and leaves the Tigers with the rest. Last year LSU secured commitments from every player in the top-10 of my Top LA Prospects for 2013, and this year LSU stands a very good chance of signing at least eight of the top-12 in what may be the best group of talent the state has ever produced. I know that some of you reading this will say, “what about Tim Williams last year?” Well, LSU could have had Williams had they wanted him, but I know for a fact that he was not a priority for LSU, nor was Cameron Sims from this year's class. Again, there's no sugar-coating the fact that LSU lost out on a big-time player in Robinson, and LSU needs to do all that they can to make sure that they don’t lose others like him. Undoubtedly, the best thing LSU could do to stem the tide is take care of business in Tuscaloosa on November 9.

Tomorrow I give you my opinion on where LSU stands with a number of its top remaining recruiting targets.

Moving on... Coach Les Miles held his weekly radio talk show last night and below is my quick summary of what was said.

Before Jim Hawthorn and Coach Miles named last week’s offensive play of the game, Coach Miles praised his team for their performance but stated that they haven’t yet played their best football and have a lot of room for improvement. He specifically mentioned three critical that accounted for 21 TCU points - the 100-yard touchdown return that they allowed, Ego Ferguson's personal foul on third down which allowed a drive to continue and led to a touchdown, and the fumble coming out of the end-zone.

As for the offensive play of the game, Hawthorn suggested Mettenberger's 20-yard touchdown pass to Landry with 6:09 left in the game, and also gave a big tip of the hat to Terrance Magee for his touchdown run early in the third quarter. Miles agreed that both of those were big plays and also mentioned Landry's touchdown reception on third-and-five when he made a great catch despite being “legitimately interfered with.”

Gary from Baton Rouge was the first caller and he asked about Kenny Hilliard, and about the starting linebackers. Miles responded by saying that Hilliard will continue to get his carries, and then mentioned Lamin Barrow, Tahj Jones, Kwon Alexander and DJ Welter as the top linebackers.

One of the next callers asked about all of the craziness at the end of the first half. Miles started by saying that on three occasions during the game his players had their helmets "grabbed and yanked off” by the opponent and acknowledged that it's a tough call for the officials to make. As for the ruling on the field during those final seconds of the half, Miles said that normally in a situation like that, there would be a 10-second runoff for the player losing his helmet, but the ruling was an incomplete pass so the clock was stopped and there was no need for the runoff. The good news, he said, was that once the madness settled Colby Delahoussaye came in and split the uprights. That comment prompted Hawthorn to compliment the kicking game, and Miles agreed that it, and all special teams play, was superb, although the big return was a very big issue.

I experienced some technically difficulties with my audio stream of the show for the next few minutes and missed a couple of calls, but when things cleared up Miles was being praised for his hiring of offensive coordinator Cam Cameron. Miles thanked the caller and said that Cameron is a tremendous coach who gives the team needed expertise.

The next caller was a man who jokingly (or not) bragged about being a pee wee coach and asked if there are any Tiger tight ends that can catch the ball. Miles’ response was that Dillon Gordon and Travis Dickson will have the opportunity to make some catches. I was a little surprised that he didn't mention DeSean Smith as well.

Next they went to the live audience where a lady (I didn’t catch her name) asked if they were going to be throwing the ball to the running backs out of the backfield. Miles answered affirmatively and promised that they would.

The next question from the audience was about Colby Delahoussaye and how proud Coach Miles was of the redshirt freshman kicker. Miles said that he was very proud of him and expects him to only get better as he continues to “groom his kick.”

Next up was the Evil Twin, a regular contributor to the show, who said he was very surprised by the emergence of fullback Connor Neighbors and asked whether we would see more of him in the future. Miles explained that Neighbors came on as a walk-on and earned a scholarship by working hard, and that we would see him and JC Copeland regularly.

Before returning to the phone line, Hawthorn offered up the defensive play of the game as the Jalen Mills interception on the first play of the second half which setup Magee's touchdown run. Miles agreed and also suggested the special teams play when LSU caused a fumble on TCU's first kickoff return and recovered it with a short field. He went on to say that the team should have gotten seven there instead of three, and that the team is working on that issue.

Back to the phone lines, Shane from Denham Springs asked whether we would see speedster Jeryl Brazil returning kicks this week. Miles said that they are counting on Brazil to get on the field sooner rather than later, but not necessarily this week.

Shane also asked whether we would see backup quarterback Anthony Jennings in the second half this week. Miles reiterated that he would like to get Jennings more snaps and said he would like to see him in the first half this Saturday.

David from Ponchatoola said he noticed that when LSU tried to run the screen play they were tackled before the ball got to the back and asked if Miles saw that and if it was legal. Miles called that a great observation and said the officials would have called that if they would have seen it, but unfortunately they missed it.

The next caller, Steve from Covington, praised Miles for hiring Cam Cameron and asked whether Mettenberger could be a Heisman candidate if he continues to play like he did Saturday. Miles answered by saying it’s a consideration that can be earned, and if the team has the kind of year they are capable of, and if Mettenberger is very productive as a leader, then it's a real possibility, but that he shouldn't concern himself with that now.

Kenny from Shreveport was the next caller and he asked Hawthorn whether Doug Moreau would be back in the booth with him this week. Hawthorn answered that Moreau would miss this week's broadcast as well but that hopefully he will be back the following week. They did not specify Moreau's condition/status.

Next, a gentleman from Kaplan called to say that LSU's offense was “way better” than its defense and asked about the red zone, saying something like, “can we quit calling time outs and let them play ball?” Miles answered by saying he thinks his defense is very good, and acknowledged that red zone offense is something they need to improve and will continue to work on.

The next caller, Jordan from Gulf Port, called to congratulate Miles on his handling of the Jeremy Hill situation. Miles thanked him and said that the team has a culture whereby they are expected to do things correctly or risk not playing, and that he really thought that Jeremy Hill would be among the least likely to be in that situation. He went on to say, “Hill has served his penance and we look forward to seeing him play.”

The last caller of the night commented on the team having no success with multiple runs right up the middle, and asked how that could be fixed. A bit sarcastically, Miles said it was interesting that when they (TCU) put a lot of guys in the box to stop they run, they were able to do just that, but that's what allowed his team to then throw the ball effectively.

All in all, it was an interesting show and I hope you enjoyed the recap.

In closing, I’d like to point out that our Ticket Exchange page was updated yesterday, and point out that the deadline for making your Week 1 picks in our free Louisiana High School Football Pickem contest is tomorrow at 5 p.m. If you love Louisiana prep football, I encourage you to sign up and participate.

Reader comments: Scott, here's something to share with your readers. LSU (and other SEC schools) make the best tailgating list in the Parade magazine.

LSU coach Les Miles said Cam Cameron brings 'confidence, chemistry' to Tiger offense

Cam Cameron.jpeg
Cam Cameron has brought confidence to the LSU offense, coach Les Miles said. (Brett Duke, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune)
It wasn't only the 448 yards LSU's offense piled up against TCU. Something not on the stat sheet caught the eye of Tigers' coach Les Miles about new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron's effect.
"There's a great confidence in the throwing game, a real chemistry there," Miles said about Cameron on Wednesday's teleconference. That creates a positive feeling. He (Cameron) is making a difference with our quarterback and also giving us a real confidence going into these games. The things we're preparing will come to an eventuality for us.

Miles said Cameron has reached quarterback Zach Mettenberger, whose 50 percent completion rate was better than it looked. Miles said Mettenberger's decision to throw the ball away at certain times didn't count against his accuracy in the coaches eyes. It was better reflected in LSU's third-down conversion rate.

"We saw it as about 80 percent accurate," Miles said. "He threw away three balls, maybe five. Those don't figure into the 50 percent. When you look at an offense that was 13 for 19 on third down percentage, you have to say he had a big night."

Miles also said he's hoping some other wide receivers will step up beyond Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr., who combined for 13 of the 16 receptions for 227 yards.

I would think the chemistry between those three guy is good on the field," Miles said. "But there are a number of receivers that are in that position to step in and contribute. Those two may be as talented a guys as we have and pointed toward success as any we have. But there is a comfort of what Zach is expecting, and I think they understand of where to be to get the ball. I think there's commonality with those guys and others as well."
