If #2 plays like that, the defenses can hang it up.

You can try to bracket one guy. You can maybe try to bracket two guys. No way you take out all three.

If you tried you would absolute have to abandon the box and concede the run game. Not to mention that we have an excellent possession TE and multiple RBs that can catch out of the back field.

Oh and the most dangerous running QB in the country …

Give JD5 props for continuing to go to Lacy after the early drops.
Last year, JD5 would have quit looking his way after the drops.
Props to Lacy for turning it around, too.

And if John Emery gets it going too, then REALLY look out.

I’ve been down in Lacy due to drops. To the point where I didn’t want to see him on the field again

But if he can consistently catch tue ball he’s the best WR3 in the country

He had a good game but I’m not ready to hand him the Belitnikoff. He’s been severely inconsistent.

He had a terrible drop early in the game...

I still don't trust him but was happy to see him have a good game. Hopefully, that's a confidence builder and what he needed to get rid of the drops. The thing is that even if he hauls in a pass he doesn't catch it cleanly so it creates opportunities for DB's to knock it out when the coverage is tight.

He is probably the best downfield blocking WR on the roster. Happy for him having a big game. Hopefully his confidence carries over in the next 5 weeks.

If he doesn’t drop 3 passes per game. He dropped a big 3rd down for a conversion, but JD5 went back to him. He’s a receiver. There’s no reason he’s consistently dropping passes like this, other than he takes his eye off the ball, which is flat out dumb to do over and over. If he keeps his head in the game and decides to quit letting the team down, he can be an important part of the offense until Hilton comes back. There’s a reason #2 was benched.

With three WRThat you have to cover;
With a killer running qb that can pass;
With running backs that can catch, block and run;
With a TE that’s capable to block or catch;
Aaaand even having two TE that can do the same thing;

You can pick their poison. Hard to scheme against the weapons.

Talk around Thibodaux amongst his former biddy basketball coaches is that he is partially blind in one eye. Might have something to do with taking his eye off of the ball.

If you watch any of the film studies, Lacy is out there putting up key blocks for everyone. He hasn't really had any holding calls either, which is rare for a WR. He will be our number one next year.

Alexander can’t run a pattern and Lacy can’t catch. I pray Hilton gets healthy. That boy has speed. What gets me the most is not getting our TE more targets and we have bad arse running backs that don’t get many touches. But having Nabers and BTJ downfield is a luxury most don’t have.

I feel for him if that’s true. If that’s the case, a WR position at a top SEC school might not be for him. He’s had an over 30% drop rate on 22 targets. Many of those drops were for third down conversions.

I think about Brandon Lafell and the drops that he had for what seemed like an entire half a season or more. Doucet and Byrd were the alpha WRs at the time and Lafell was trying to make his name as WR3 but kept having awful drops, some even bouncing right off his hands and into the defender's for a pick.

He eventually got it together and once he grew out of his case of the dropsies became a very productive receiver for us as his career went on. Caught a TD over Malcolm Jenkins in the title game by the end of 07 IIRC. I'd love to see Lacy have a similar career progression. Maybe this past game can be a launching point after rebounding from that drop.

It was good to see him rebound after the drop. I was happy to see him have that game after struggling. If he locks in, offense becomes unbeatable. This offense really is something special and we shouldn’t compare it to 2019. Enjoy this group and year

Glad to see him rebound. He has similar skills to Boutte when he was healthy with the run after catch. There is a reason he was benched but if he can get it together a la Lafell and Bowe he could be a great receiver for the rest of his career and he is a very good downfield blocker to boot.

That's why I am still so pissed off that we lost to Ole Miss. Our offense is unstoppable and we literally needed our defense to just come up with 1 more stop at any point throughout the game and apparently that was just too much to ask. Absolutely ridiculous.
