From Dandy Don: Devin White talked about some of the young 5- and 4-star prospects not wanting to play special teams. They had to tell them White, Jarvis Landry, Russell Gage, and Duke Riley all did it and benefitted from it.

• White also said he’s been advocating for being on the kickoff team for two reasons: 1) To show the young guys that even he is willing to be on special teams and that 2) “Those tackles count, too.” Get this: White also joked that one way the offense could improve would be to “Give Devin White carries at running back.” He said he’d love to be LSU’s wildcat RB.


I'm not an O pumper but this shows it's a lot more than just on him. Prima donnas thinking they're too good to play special teams.

That’s alarming...unfortunately, it’s not the first thing that has been alarming in the last couple of weeks...

I fear the game day suspension report...expect we will clearly know then why Fehoko was moved inside.

Hope to Hell im wrong and Alexander and Shelvin eat!

I'm not an O pumper but this shows it's a lot more than just on him. Prima donnas thinking they're too good to play special teams.


Fact is...if they go to BAMA they will be on special teams

I’m more concerned that one of our players is the one talking to them about their roles.

Feels like when Duke Riley had to come last year and tell the team how they need to go about their business.

Isn’t that O’s job?
