More upside than Hill!?
How?
Blue had a repaired ACL and another injury to his other leg.
He's either been passed up on the depth chart or injured at his time at Lsu.
I hope he does well because Lsu will need him but to say he's "better" than hill is absurd.
Just curious, but why are you arguing about this so much?
Both guys are on our team & both are very good. If one is better than the other & named "starter" does it really matter?
If someone feels that Blue is better than Hill, what does it really matter?

I don't see the reason for this back & forth.

Are you concerned that Blue will take meaningful carries away from Hill & that might hurt the team?
I could see that logic from your perspective.
But to just argue who's better when the term "starter" or "1st team" really means nothing confuses me.

Has Leslie been running with the first or second team offense?

A healthy Blue will factor into this equation.

10 TFL as a true sophomore is hardly underachieving.

Hill will strengthen Blue. As the SEC part of the season rolls in, they need each other to stay fresh AND HEALTHY. That has always been the key. The team needs him not as a star but as an intrigal part of the stable.

... hmmmm .... "rusty" in coach CLM speak means : ? ? ... Methinks a guy of Hill's skill level can "shake off the rust" in a few days of practice. Rusty not = out of shape.

I think people talked about this but I didnt see the answers. It says on the roster he is 175.... I'm guessing now that that is incorrect?

That what he was coming out of highschool, he's either slightly under 200 or at it.

Probably that his conditioning is not what it should be. A few days of running stadium steps will improve that.

Underachieved? Had pretty decent stats last year on a Dline that played 8 guys consistently. Not to mention having a 3rd round draft pick, and a 1st round draft pick ahead of him his freshman year

Sounds like the talk of him being terribly out of shape might have been an exaggeration.


No one said he was terribly out of shape. He's been hitting the weight rooms. Miles just said he's "rusty as hell", which is probably true. He hasn't been to any practices.
