re: Interesting quote from Dupre

quote:

I remember speedy saying he didn't want to go to Leonard state university and I'm wondering if the wrs are not happy with fournette getting all the attention all the time and feeling left out. At the same time they have to catch and help out the qb when Harris throws them the ball.

I don't care what the name of the school is, a front running Heisman candidate will get almost all the attention. Period. THEN, add on the fact he's carrying the team (in part because of WR's performance) AND he's a human highlight reel AND he's stepped up (as a true softmore) as a leader, if not the leader, he deserves the attention. LF EARNED IT. And did it in 2 games.

Hope the coaches don't lie to these kids. How'd you like to be their father and hear a bunch of b.s from a coach. The coaches need true balance at the end of the day for victory against the better teams on this schedule . They ain't winning nada playing ga tech ga southern or army navy or Air Force football in the sec west. Not gonna happen. I think the coaches don't allow development of the receivers as well as qbs. In a game that 10 passes are thrown then 3 drops get magnified instead of 3 drops in 20-25 attempts . That's too bad for all involved . This systemic problem needs to fix itself or this TEAM will not get to the ship . Coaches have to lighten up not fans and resolve these issues for this DAMN STRONG talented TEAM. You try to catch some of those passes that involve only 3 branches to its passing tree and the qb laser locks on you when 1-2 receivers try to run a route. Not too easy football to execute !

Harris attempted 16 passes, thats not pass plays called. Maybe if the wrs get open he doesnt tuck and run or he doesnt get sacked. Or maybe catch the damn ball and they would throw it more.

Agreed win the heisman for lf . Pass the ball to others more than 15 x a game so that receivers can get in a rhythm just as must as qbs. And 14 receptions in a year isn't really getting enough reps in a wishbone offense. Mett was qb ( not developed by LSU but by jc) game plan was forced to use nfl qb abilities . Not sure LSU is capable of developing a qb with nfl numbers or should to that extent if NOBODY can stop lf. Balance and throwing from games that LSU falls behind in will be imperative !

I still think we will surprise people. But i was pointing out Landry. 4 receptions his freshman year, both travin and chi got more reps. So i dont see an excuse fro them not to blow up like landry did. He busted his arse accepted his roll on st and helped this team to a title game appearance.

In 2012 Mett went 11-29 for 97 yards against tamu. He then followed it up with 4 straight games of 200+ yards. Including 298 against bama. They got to help Harris out by catching the ball. Passing game sucked early in 2012 because the injuries on the line and beckham having the case of the drops.

And Mett spent 3 years at LSU, 1 at Juco. I hate when people say he didnt develop here.

It's easy to determine by reading these comments, who has, and who has not played football. Some of you actually believe that a receiver needs many attempts just to catch the ball? Give them more passes so that they can remember how to catch? That's crazy. Also, the low percentage / high percentage pass plays are a category for coaches and QBs. Not for receivers and passes that hit the damn receiver in the hands. The fact that the ball was dropped on a deep post or fade is irrelevant. As already stated, we were on pace to throw the ball 30+ times. I think our first play was a pass play. We were balanced early on. The fact is, we let EM hang in and creep back in by goofing off and underperforming. So we went back to LF and got the game back in control.

Seperately, some of you who keep guaranteeing that we will loose two games are idiots. You don't have a damn clue. The few remaining 'test' that we have are toss ups. Just like every year. You have seen nothing in our game thus far that guarantees two losses. Our guys will step up to the challenge.

I get frustrated with the play calling also, but if you blame the dropped passes on the play calling, you are just as bad as the heckler fan that blames a loss on the Ref.

geez

the way he is playing - if you told this staff he would be playing like he is this staff might not of went after him the way they did !@

He needs to get off being the #1 WR recruit and start to worry about his playing time - if I am the coach and read that - he would be benched period

Buga fatigue setting in.

No passing game plan period. Different players, same results every year. Mettenburger final year was an anomaly. We had a pro level qb, pro level RBs, and pro level receivers. NFL starters and still under achieved. Shame for the players that coach puts them in situations where there is zero margin of error in passing game. Check out passing game for Georgia Tech, Army, Navy etc. Same results. Don't be blind. It is on the coach. No one else is focusing on 3 dropped balls in a game. No one else would never throw to Trey Quinn again because of a few drop balls These kids are All Americans and were highly recruited because they can catch the balls!!! Lastly, Dupree is right. How do you get a WR to come here? He is not hating on Leonard, he is stating the obvious. Players want to be involved. Leonard would have more yards on fewer carries if the offense was diverse. Hats off to the recruiters who get WRs come here even though the head coach seems to do everything with in his power to convince them otherwise.

Personally I have never seen receivers do so little to go up for the football than Dupre and Dural. Also many drops. Both should study real hard in school. Unless they improve they may really need their college education. They haven't done ANYTHING to improve their NFL stock.
