Since no one will say it, Lacouture shouldn't be starting

1/3 into our season and he just hasn't done anything. Doesn't "command double teams" and is usually taken out of the play by a guard or center. Puts no pressure ever on the QB and seeing his play, it really wouldn't hurt to get out backups some time, seeing as he is just a big body on the DL, not much more.

Don't care for the rant, this needs to be said, our DL needs new faces and fast because our current starters aren't doing anything for our LB "who get all the blame for 550 yards"

I don't think people are saying it because it's so obvious.

I agree, Ego and Freak should be starting. But, here we are.

I have heard "experts" say otherwise....they just think he is not ready. If he isn't the younger guys behind him probably aren't.

I disagree, he's the only defensive tackle I've seen make positive plays.

which is why i don't get the DL rotation.

if you have a starter that's been pretty much ineffective, then why not rotate fresh bodies in there.

maybe it's bc Lacouture has a stranglehold on the PT at the position.

I'm not sure, but the rotation sure is mind boggling.

IMO, at least rotate a good bit with the other guys. Now that Trey is back, I'd like a rotation with him and Godchaux. I'd like Bain to rotate heavily with LaCouture.

He just doesn't have the power, and it shows.

I don't care if he plays on 1st downs only. We need our big boy to become eligible yesterday!

Then you'd just be on here saying, "Lacouture should be playing more because he was chosen as the starter and you're rotating guys in that are not very good. Let the starter play."

We don't have very good DTs. It is what it is. You can rotate more in, start someone else, do a bunch of bitching, etc. and you're still not gonna get good production because they are just not that good.
