| Anybody else suprised that Copeland didn't declare for the draft? Posted by lsuexpert57 I mean, it was kind of a free for all for juniors leaving for the draft this year, and it's not like a FB is going to play his way into the first round.  on 1/17 at 11:47 pmIn my mind Copeland was sorta in the same position as Brad Wing. He plays a position that is not a high value position in the NFL and spending another year throwing your body around like FB's do, doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense if your goal is to become an NFL fullback. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the fact that we get to have him another year. I just question whether or not it does him any good in terms of helping him toward a possible pro career.

| Truthfully I think Copeland screwed up by not declaring. He should have jumped. Reply • Back to Top |
| Miles promised him a revamped offense in which he will get 15 carries per game. He will also get at least one jump pass a game. Reply • Back to Top |
| Not really. And I don't think he was in the same ballpark as Wing. Wing ticked me off this year. You could tell he wasn't into it, he hated school, he couldn't care less. He was waiting to declare so he could get out of school. He was money last year. This past season, not so much. Seems like Copeland values his time on the team very much. If he plays as well, or better, this past season, he'll do well, IMO. I'll never forget some of the plays where Copeland blew up some poor dude while blocking and that pass play to him in the Alabama game where he ran for, I think it was 30 yards with a couple guys hanging on him, that was a thing of beauty. Glad he stayed.  Reply • Back to Top |
| He should've gone. At the most he may improve his draft spot by 20-30 picks. Not worth the risk but definitely glad he's back. Hope it works out for him and he stays healthy Reply • Back to Top |
| I think he likes it at LSU cause he gets the ball more than he will in the NFL Reply • Back to Top |
| He'd be my vote for the 18 jersey. Never hear anything about him away from the field, does everything asked of him in probably one of toughest positions. I hope he becomes more vocal this next year. Reply • Back to Top |
| Maybe he wants to finish school. Besides, in today's NFL, the fullbacks rarely exist. So he's not guaranteed a roster spot. Reply • Back to Top |

| He did deck that Alabama guy but beyond that he still has my vote Reply • Back to Top |
| he may have gotten drafted slightly higher if he left this year. he may want to showcase his ability to run the ball more next year before declaring he's a tank. glad he stayed Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Expound. He got a dumb personal foul in the Bama game, that's the only one I can think of. I don't think he should wear 18 but he's hardly out of control as suggested. Reply • Back to Top |
| He got one against Florida for sure. Was he involved in something against South Carolina? Reply • Back to Top |
| IMO copeland is the next great NFL fullback ala vonta leach and lorenzo neal if he can improve his ball skills just a little bit. Reply • Back to Top |
quote:No offense to Copeland, but he better find out how to do something more than smother a guy in the hole. The catch against Bama was the exception not the rule. He has a ways to go as an NFL full back. Reply • Back to Top |
| Please no more PF! Reply • Back to Top |
| he sure can make a hole in the defensive line for a back to slip through with ease. Bet Hill is glad he is staying for another year. Reply • Back to Top |
| Its tough to forget the few crucial missed blocks on the blitzing LB that almost killed Mett. I think Bama and Clemson was evident. Ford didn't play much early because he couldn't pick his blocks. No doubt Les is in love with him. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
