Yeah, i wouldn't play him anymore because Ridley done runndeded the ball tuff North La style against two cupcakes. We'll need Ridley's big play ability agsinst the AUs and UFs of the world.



hilarious. After 2 games, Ridley appears to run harder and with more passion than Keiland. And he's much more likely to break one running like that. At this point, where any of them played high school ball is completely irrelevant. I'd give Trindon more carries than Keiland too. I think Keiland's currently the 5th best TB on the team. I'm not saying he sucks, just that the others are just better.

Why do folks on this board seem to think KW is "entitled" (eg, to start, to 15 carries etc.)?
Is it POSSIBLE that 1) KW is not as good as you expected and/or 2) that KW is being outperformed by others?

thats your problem and the majority of this board's problem. Best RB on here = RB most resembling the running style of Tommy Banks and Jacob Hester. Ridley can have all the passion and intensity and aggression and heart and blah blah blah in the world, he's not gonna make the big plays that KW can for this team in big games. Scott is the man right now, no doubt but we need to augment him with big play backs not lesser clones of him.

he's your 5th back right now and you cut him off entirely because of what you've seen in 7 carries this year?

if he runs over somebody for a 3 yard gain, how many carries would that earn him?

give me a fricking break

Ridely runs faster than Keiland. He hits the hole harder than Keiland. How can you not see this? If Keiland doesn't break it, he looks slow.

why not? And give me a better reason than that he played Mississippi Private high school ball. That shite could not matter any less.

Do you really think KW won't make big plays any more because he hasn't broken out on 7 meaningless carries this year? What on earth could you base Ridley making more big plays off of?

if by runs faster you mean runs slower than yes by all means he does

how can you not see that KW is a completely different kind of back then Scott or Ridley or Hester? He's not going to bust up the gut and grind out the tough yards every time. Big fricking shite. He can however, pop outside and go for 70 on any play, something Ridley can not.

Who here thinks that KW could have scored on a few of the plays where CS scored? I mean the hole on both 1st TDs of the game was HUGE.

KW needs more carries to develop a rhythm. Also, I think that using Scott to batter a defense and Dick and KDUB to flash fry it is a good tactic!

until Keiland starts running over people he will be hated on this board by 90%. Nothing he can do will change that. Hated him last year when he was getting 7 yards a pop, hate him this year because he has proven in 7 carries that he doesn't belong on D-1 scholly.

To say that Ridley >>> KDUB is pretty silly in my opinion. I mean did you watch any LSU games last year???

Serious, do you attend any practices? I'm not saying KW fumbles in practice, I'm asking a question.
