I was wondering why the hell why didn't let somebody else kick the ball off so we could get it into the endzone. the return coverage, imho, has been our biggest ST issue. kicking into the endzone essentially solves that problem.

I just couldn't watch the whole EM game, although I taped it and may watch it later. there were some real games going on on other channels. So I missed the part where Cameron Gamble was put on to kick. He was slow, and drew a delay of game penalty, but hopefully we'll get that worked out.

Keen isn't horrible; can be very good. punt returns and kickoff returns are pretty solid. field goal kicking is solid.

anyway, I was critical and the coaching staff was making an adjustment. Yea Tigers!

Here's the issue, BDP and Les don't want the ball kicked to the back of the endzone for a touchback. They want it high and returnable so that the coverage team can try to tackle the ball carrier before he reaches the 25 yard line.

Seeing at how bad our coverage unit has been, it's time to abandon that strategy and go for touchbacks.

Are you freaking kidding me? You missed a live LSU game to watch other teams?

I think this sums up our current fan base. You don't go to the game. You don't even watch the game. But you come on Tigerdroppings criticizing the coaches of one of the most successful programs in the last 10 years and absolutely the best ever seen at LSU. It is what it is but its kind of a shame, really.

A big problem has been that Domingue doesn't get good hang time on his kick offs. It's hurt our coverage team, which isn't that great to begin with. Gamble gets a ton of hang time on his kicks. I think we've got that issue solved.

No, Peveto owes us an apology for cashing in fat checks to put out a sub-par product on the field.


shite, let's go get Joe Robinson back. He's the one who actually put together that phenomenal special teams unit in 2011. I know Peveto helps with the linebackers, but something has to give

They've put speedsters on the kickoff team instead of hitters. We go down fast but crumble under the hits.

Gamble leads all kickers all time with two delay of game penalties. I would have thought after he drew one against Wisconsin it would never happen to him again, but I was wrong.
