No, we haven't run him into the ground.
We ran him into 9 man fronts consistently because Les would not play a quarterback who could complete a 10 yard pass.

He got hurt practicing. In the sport of football.
and in the pre-season. The OP is dead wrong.

Hurt ankle and now the other teams tackle him helmet first at his feet.

Yes! It is all Miles fault. Even the Florida game is Miles fault.
I mean how dare Miles play LF7 and let him injure his OTHER ankle in that game.
Look, Miles had a lot of faults as a coach, but taking care of his players was not one of them.

As a Michigan alum, I am a big Miles fan. I was under the impression that Fournette injured his ankle a couple of weeks out before the season started. Fournette played the Wisconsin, Mississippi State, and Auburn games. I was unaware that his current injury doesn't stem from the initial ankle sprain. Coach Orgeron has sat Fournette for what could be three weeks to allow his injury to properly rest.
It was just a question

He got hurt a second time in the last game he played when he tried to hurdle a defender.
I was unaware of this. I thought he was playing these games injured and Miles was still running him. I remember certain dirty players (Cichy from Wisconsin) gunning for that hurt ankle. I didn't know he had a new injury.

quote:I think so. You could tell he wasn't 100% in either the Wisconsin game or the Auburn game. There was no reason for him to be out there if he wasn't completely healthy. High ankle sprains are lingering injuries that you run a risk of reinjuring if you're not completely healed.
So, did Miles run Fournette when he shouldn't have?

true with any back. The point is LSU is deep at rb...giving Guice & Williams more carries in the first half allows for a fresher LF in the 2nd half. I will take a fresher LF against a tired defense any time.
What good is it to have Guice and Williams if we aren't going to give them some carries?

which QB would that be?
Posted on 10/11/16 at 10:00 am to Forkbeard3777
Yes. He's Les' Lane Mestepey.
Posted on 10/11/16 at 10:01 am to Forkbeard3777
Well we have Guice who has better cutback ability and change of direction is as good as any. LF is special but if u haven't watched Guice run u should you tube him.

he had one gimpy ankle but late in auburn game (around the 30-40 yard line) he took a helmet/facemask directly to his good ankle. He left the game and I think came back in for a play. Maybe both ankles are an issue?

Sounds like he ran the whole team in to the ground at practice.
Don't know why anyone would be downvoting that comment, it has become pretty well known the last couple of weeks that the players were complaining how tired they were from practicing.

Miles is a high functioning moron, but one thing he actually understood was how to keep and use his RBs, so no.
Posted on 10/11/16 at 10:09 am to Forkbeard3777
no

The Les Miles apologies need to stop. Of course he ran Fournette into the ground.
Fournette is a stud back, so what did Miles do? Just ran him him into 8-9 stacked boxes every game. It shows how special Fournette is since he has to get his yards after getting hit in the backfield.

Or you let the best player in CFB play as much as possible.

Depth. What good is having RBBC when you have someone as talented as LF7. Miles handled the running backs just fine.

He is special, but our offensive line was opening incredible holes until they played Bama and got banged up.
