re: Interesting quote from Dupre

He made a stupid comment in the midst of taking responsibility for a bad performance. So what?? He just made it worse on himself, but will undoubtedly come out of this better - IF he wants to remain a Tiger. Too much talent and CLM will tune his arse up no doubt.
This team needs to ignore the trolls out there and just come together and DO THEIR JOBS.

Stacked box = man coverage. And it's just a matter of where the free safety lines up. But a slot or TE could easily get behind the linebackers. See the pass to Jeter that was caught up he seam.

As I said before, also see one of the first quarter passes that we ran a bootleg (good play action) and Jeter was also uncovered crossing the field, but the ball was thrown deep.

some of you guys need to stop posting so much and get back to your other job of coaching a college football team.

People don't like the truth I applaud him for having the nuts for saying what he really feels its frustrating to watch so I know its frustrating to run route and never get a catch but I agree with u they all need to catch the ball but their not thrown to enough to establish a rymthm

Oh yeah. Good luck with getting any meaningful playing time now. I can assure you that Lester holds onto grudges better than Dupre has been catching the ball.

2) Did he watch LSU for the past eight years or only 2013?
I can understand what he is saying though
2005 - 360 attempts
2006 - 368 attempts
2007 - 442 attempts (14 games)
2008 - 391 attempts
2009 - 336 attempts
2010 - 301 attempts
2011 - 279 attempts (14 games)
2012 - 356 attempts
2013 - 326 attempts
2014 - 276 attempts
2015 - we are on pace for 183 attempts this year (bowl game included). We'd finish at 198 with the McNeese game.
Guys, there is a difference between throwing less for a team whose strength is running, and throwing like you run a triple option offense.
Of course he'd have a much better case if they caught the passes, but still...

Every time Fournette touches the ball he can break off big TD runs and just punish the defense. When we do throw the ball Dural and Dupre are dropping big time catches.
Also the NFL wants receivers who can block and play a complete game. Everyone is fast and can catch but can you make the most of your touches and play at a high level away from the ball. That's why LSU continues to WRs in the league.

less about Fournette and more about the lack of a formidable throwing QB/passing game since Mettenberger.
OBJ and Landry do not put up those same numbers with Harris/Jennings at QB.
It's funny how running backs "need" a certain number of carries to get in a groove, but WRs don't need require a certain number of targets before being written off.
Nothing wrong with what Dupre said...truth just hurts.
as a WR:
1) There's multiple routes so it's rare you actually have a drawn-up get it to so and so play (RBs know when they're getting the ball)
2) Because of the non-existent passing game it might even be surprising to see the ball coming your way, on time, and actually on target.
I do understand he is tired of playing in a 75 percent run offense, but he was in triple option offense at Curtis. He should have went to FSU if he wanted to get the ball thrown his way.
regardless of how his stats are: Speedy Noil made a great decision.
If I was a top WR, I would have waited until I saw where LF committed to and made sure to go elsewhere... no way you gonna shine in his shadow. But if you wanna win and be around a guy who will single-handedly have you in every ball game then.....

If they were recruiting me and they told me they were going to give the ball to Leonard, or the running backs 75 percent of the time, it might be hard to get a recruit at the receiver position or quarterback position,'' Dupre said.

''We're doing the best that we can do blocking, and then when we get an opportunity, we've got to make the best of it. Because there's going to be times this year where we're going to have to have it.'
Mr. Dupre meet Mr. Doghouse!!!
With those comments enjoy it son, you just earned it!!

LSU has put in the league in the top several rounds because of they have more complete games, AND have had good production.
Bowe 1st round - 2406 yards 26 TDs (990 yards 12 TDs year drafted)
Davis 1st round - 2117 yards 7 TDs (836 yards 4 TDs year drafted)
Doucet 3rd round - 1943 yards 20 TDs (525 yards 5 TDs year drafted)
LaFell 3rd round - 2517 yards 25 TDs, rushing TD (792 yards 11 TDs year drafted)
Randle 2nd round - 1634 yards 13 TDs (913 yards 8 TDs)
Beckham 1st round - 2340 yards 12 TDs, 1601 return yards 2 TDs (1152 yards 8 TDs year drafted)
Landry 2nd round - 1809 yards 15 TDs (1193 yards 10 TDs year drafted)
Also, part of the idea is, if these guys did all this in a pro style offense with poor to average QB play (minus Russell 2006 and Mett 2013), what can they do in the NFL! Plus, our guys usually have really good physical talent

Would anyone that pays attention to football truly advocate decreasing the carries of a player that averages almost 9 ypc every time he touches the ball?
It would also be a slightly different thing if there weren't concerns about dropped passes.

Maybe if you are haphazardly putting in a passing attack. Plays use route combinations that should be designed to get a desired effect. The idea that play isn't drawn up to get the play to a specific wide receiver is silly. Dagger, flood, spot, and smash concepts, to name a few, are all aimed at getting a very specific guy open.

the point is...a running back gets the ball whether the hole is open or not
a route tree is just that. unless it's a wr screen or a fade (which are "get it to so and so" plays), there are progressions to go thru and several players who could get the ball

few points
if he would just sit tight, he's going to get balls, because we are going to have to throw the ball more in the upcoming games. He's going to be important, and should feel important.
2 if he would have caught all the balls he dropped, but would have like 4-5 more catches and his numbers would not look as bad.
not sure what exactly he thought was going to go on. shite, he's only a soph. he is a year a way to being with

Play calling starts in game 1 and most of the time improvements are made with multiple in game passing repetitions. Which the LSU system refuses to correct at the beginning of each season. Limited passes in each game haunts passing hand when needed to win game . See jab 1 2012 for references !!!

I dont believe this, but i do believe dupre had all off season to work on catching the ball in 7 on 7. I also know he got more than 3 times the catches Jarvis Landry did his freshman year. So he really has no excuse.

See mett 2012. It started to click and finished with 4 straight 200+ yard games. Including the second most yards from an LSU qb against Alabama. Flynn holds the record, under Miles as well.
Harris would already have 2 200+ yard games if the triple ds could catch the friggin ball.
Do i have to remind yall what happened early in 2012 again? Lack of pass protection because of injuries on the oline. And beckham couldnt catch shite. What happened when all that clicked? Oh yeah Mett never looked back.
