Bry'Keithon Mouton's improvement over the season
Posted on 1/24/16 at 11:07 am

I saw some major improvements from him on his blocking assignments against Texas Tech in the Texas bowl, and in other games that were later in the season.
I don't know what anybody else thinks, but with his prototype size for the FB position, I think he will compete against JD Moore for the starting FB job.
Ultimately he has better size and athletic ability for that position, and he got quite a bit of experience last year, so there is no reason to think he wont be significantly better in 2016.

He's not good. If JD Moore isn't healthy I don't want a fullback in the game.

I'd have to agree.

I agree in the games earlier in the season. it sure looked like he didn't know his blocking assignments, and when a linebacker wasn't where he was supposed to be on a specific running play, then he was indecisive on who the secondary blocking assignment was supposed to be.
As the season progressed he did get much better at this, and against Texas Tech, there were a number of blocks where he flat out manhandled the guy he was supposed to block.

Having a FB on the field for more than goal line packages makes me watch to scream

nah. not unless JD is still hurt. dude was out there murdering ppl in a way not seen since the Destruction that is Quinn Johnson. BK's coming along tho.

I guess most ppl would want a 6'1" FB over a 6'4" one. but refer to my earlier comments about murdering. not sure about the athleticism, what are you basing that on?

High pitched squeal I'm guessing.

My athletic ability comment was based on what I thought Mouton's time 40 was, which was somewhere in the ~4.7 range.
Other than maybe a slight edge in speed over JD Moore, athletically they are probably about the same. Mouton does have about 20lbs more muscle on him, and has prototype height for the FB position, about 6'1".
Moore is built a lot more like an HB or pass catching tight end, than a true fullback.

There is literally zero reason for us to have multiple FBs on the roster

We dont, we have one true fullback on the Roster in Mouton, and an HB/TE who is a good enough blocker to play out of his natural position and still do a good job at it.

I'm okay with it in a pro-set on first down or even second and short, but not with 2 TEs as well, as we like to do.
Having a multi-role "weapon" at H-back or fullback is fine if it is not always out of the I or power I - in motion out to the slot, throw it to him on first down, use as a safety valve screen to counter pressure.
More than just another blocker on power inside runs when the defense knows exactly what is coming.

you don't know anything about sports do you? players get better with experience. by casting them aside the team suffers in the long run. i'm glad you, the self professed "golden boy" are not a coach, esp at LSU

We have 3 FBs on the roster. Moore, Mouton, Ducre. Mouton was recruited as a TE and Ducre as a HB/FB. In the end, all 3 have only (and likely will only) seen the field as a FB and are listed as FBs on the depth chart. That doesn't even include Upchurch or Feist being moved to FB.
It is a joke that we have that many FBs on our roster.

I'm hoping we won't be using a fullback as much anymore. Too many great athletes we could be getting on the field.

Nothing against Mouton and I believe he will be a solid contributor in the future, but JD Moore has a special knack for effectively blocking the correct defender.

At no point was he as good as JD Moore...it wasn't even close.
Mouton was basically a liability for a large portion of the year. I agree that he made a few good blocks down the stretch and became a contributor.
But, a healthy J.D. Moore isn't threatened by Mouton at all.

With Moore coming back off a knee injury, we will probably see Mouton and Williams come in when the staff wants to make the FB a threat to get the ball. Both can block, but are athletic enough to take the ball and get upfield with it running or catching.
Also, with Moore coming off injury, the staff will probably want to rotate him out on occasion to keep him fresh and healthy. They will both see the field next year, along with Moore.

He was also switching from a TE in the Veer Offense to a FB in a Pro-Style. Completely agree he made huge strides towards the end of the year.

Ducre was recruited mainly as a RB, he would have been red-shirted this year if not for Moore's injury. Moore earned his offer by being a badass walk-on and Mouton has the potential to be one of the best all around fullbacks ever at LSU.
Find something else to bitch about

If Mouton can continue to improve, I like the idea of Mouton and JDM taking turns punishing the defense
