re: The 90% vs The 10%

I don’t know how to build a clock either but I do know how to tell time …I’m sure that statement sounded great in your head but that is some stupid shite

So in your eyes 8-4 is a successful season, have we become a fan base that accepts 8-4 as a record to justify retaining a low life shrimp boat captain.

Why do you hate shrimp boat captains? What have you ever been a captain of?

Doesn’t take a former football player to see that this team is nowhere near what it should be.
I didn’t play college football and I can clearly see that there are a lot of programs playing football right now that play football far better than does LSU.

The problem with that? LSU has been recruiting within the top 5-10 programs in the country for years on end. We have the talent. We have the infrastructure. We have the support. We have the presence.

If ALL of that holds true (I’ll save you the time)…and it does…..what else is left to explain why we are wallowing in mediocrity? Bingo.

That top 5-10 consensus talent year in and year out is not grading out. Is it because that top 5-10 talent each year isn’t measuring up? If so….why?

Lack of development and/or coaching? Lack of accurate evaluation at the front end?

Guess what? Both of those things lead to the only plausible conclusion here….a failure at the top.
That, by the way, is exactly what is alluded to in paragraphs 2 & 3.

To continue to deny these truths because you played the sport is not doing yourself or any other supporter any favors other than to serve your own ego’s appetite.

I’m a healthcare professional. There are some BAD apples in my profession - be they unethical or simply unskilled/aloof. Patients don’t have to be one of us to know which ones are bad. Often, they’re correct as to whom to avoid.

Pretentious arrogance will not get your point across.

Bum Phillips on his way out as the head coach of the Saints at his last press conference told marble mouthed New Orleans sports figure Buddy Dilaberto "you don't anything about football. You think you do but you don't". It was a beautiful thing to see and hear. Dilaberto was also the one who said "Bert Jones will never be an NFL QB".

In reality as a former college football player 90% of fans know very little about football. They think they do but they don't. I re watched the McNeese game and maybe 10% here on this board understand what that saw the other 90% think they know what they saw.

Not only is LSU much better than 90% THINK they are but McNeese is also much better than 90% of the people here THINK they are. Lastly 90% don't understand why we lost to UCLA. As a walk on I used to volunteer to help in the film room to assist the coaches to breakdown plays. Gave me a tremendous insight into understanding REALLY why plays work and don't work. Why you can and cannot run certain plays based on the personnel you have versus who you are playing. What the "fans" see versus what coaches see is light years apart.

What I saw Saturday night 90% here didn't see.

There are a lot of knowledgeable people who can't see the forest through the trees. You might be one of those people.

However, as it stands we'll never know. With everything you said, you never specifically said what the ultimate difference is between what the uninformed fans believe and what you believe.

I'd suggest the consensus here is that LSU will win between 5 and 7 games. As someone who is truly knowledgeable, please inform the masses as to what the board should really expect.

I mean, being knowledgeable is meaningless if you don't have a better ability to predict what will happen.

bet you O and the staff decided before Saturday that they didn't need to run screens and quite a few other plays cause they didn't need to and because of the lack of healthy bodies.

So you have knowledge that Orgeron is also interfering in the offense ?

However bet you O and the staff decided before Saturday that they didn't need to run screens and quite a few other plays cause they didn't need to and because of the lack of healthy bodies.

This game is the type of game you practice plays at. We needed screens and draws to help slow down the pass rush versus the defense versus UCLA, we ran no screens and one draw that didn’t work.

If O and Peetz have decided we don’t need screens and draws in the playbook or decided we don’t need to practice them against inferior competition, they are more stubborn and arrogant than I thought.

Other than Mason Smith what newcomer on defense impressed you the most?

Other than Masson Smith which new comer on defense played? Cam Lewis had a good game and bug strong definitely made improvements, but I really don’t remember a anyone else’s name being called

It might help if you elaborated on what 90% of us didn't see..

Trying to make it simple and not ling winded. So....

Other than Mason Smith what defensive newcomer stood out the most?

quote:

---

They need to experience blocking fundamental run plays up the middle when the defense knows you are going to run there.

This is the problem with you old school football guys now. Why must we be so predictable and let the defense know what’s coming? You do realize you can still evaluate technique, skill, strength, as endurance while practicing and performing unpredictable, yet fundamental play calling right?
