re: CLM spoke in Shreveport tonight

Bottom line is that Les obviously sees what we see, and recognizes the problems. I take a little comfort in that.

Now Les is going to have to step on toes, get in some someones face and see that the changes are made. I have no doubt he saw the problems last year but seemed powerless to stop it. There has to be a limit to delegating

There were alot of Freshman and Sophmores that got plenty of playing time.

I think the problem I have is that two specific frosh, arguably two of the best athletes I have seen come into the program were nominal contributors last season. RS and RR. Both were noticeably absent in big games which there is no excuse for.

Maybe that's where CG is at now.
4* HS ball looks mighty small when you step into the SEC.

You want a QB to step up his game when asked, not decline. Any player for that matter. Its disturbing, unless Miles just miscommunicated the idea, which is possible as well. Every team needs a leader with nads of steel.

Rare quality found in RS Frosh.The QBs we have need developing farther,......and an OL.

You have to step up sometime. Many RS frosh have been able to do this. Some have it, some don't. LSU either has a slow learning curve for QB's, recruits guys who are not ready or just cannot coach them up.

I am not sure I am buying the Les Miles statement, or how he said it simply because I have never met a QB who didn't want to be the "guy."

Just the simple fact that he says this now, shows how fricking stupid and clueless our staff was last year not playing RS and not getting him more touches than anyone on the team.

---

Even if he didn't know what the frick he was supposed to be doing, you think RS should have played? Go back and look at the LSU Spring Football special Channel 9 in Baton Rouge did. They interviewed RS and he admitted that he was being spread too thin and couldn't learn all of the plays. Some blame on coaches and some on him for this fact. But point blank, he said he wasn't ready. So why play him? You can be good, but if you are not participating correctly in a coordinated effort, then you just as well have started playing the game yesterday. Either way you won't help the team any if you aren't ready to play.

I serious doubt you even have a clue how much coordination must work seamlessly in order to get a football play to work at the D-1 level!!

Hopefully that statement was miscommunicated - - do you really believe if given a sincere opportunity a red shirt quarterback would tell a coach NO to the chance to prove himself!! With that said how is CG expected to show what he has when he is not given the snaps!! Wake up CLM and try out your recruits before throwing them under the bus!!
