What is the deal with Michael Ford? He plays two plays at the end of the game????????????? Again, I know Ridley had a good game, but I know he is better than Blue and the guy from Ohio

Did you watch the spring game? that is the only time he has played. He was easily the best back Miles has a history of not playing the best people (Ridley was his best back last year and Hurst was one of his best OL) and we did not see them until injuries made him play them

Miles doesn't care about his job and plays his worst players. Everyone knows this.

Word from the local radio folks in Baton Rouge is he has issues with learning his assignments. If true I'm sure we can still find some spots and plays where he knows which hold to hit. Play in the game may help the light go off and this way you see his true ability. Les and the staff need to figure out a way to utilize all the talent he has available. We are good but not good to the point we can have folks with ability not getting to contribute. With that said need to give Jared Lee more reps. This could help Jefferson settle down and give the other team more to plan for in the upcoming games.

Miles doesn't have a job. He has a "guaranteed" contract. With the contract he has he is financially secure no matter what happens.

I am tired of hearing "he can't learn the plays". That is a coaching issue. If they can't evaluate talent and put him in a position to contribute, and give him a chance to play that is a coaching issue, coaching issue, coaching issue.

Rumor has it he doesn't know all the plays. It is maddening that we hear this every year. Is Crowton's O too hard to pickup with these players? Look at Lattimore with SC. He must be a scholor compared to Ford and Shep.

Come again? Keiland Williams could have been something very special at LSU...he had it all. Just was never used enough...never made sense. He was the best and most explosive back we had. That is being reflected currently in the pros.

Ridley looks all-conference this night and we're bitching about the 2nd, 3rd, 4th string rb.

Typical.

I don't see any real bitching as much as concern, and all it takes is an injury to Ridley to have to depend upon that 2nd, 3rd, or 4th string RB, so it's a valid concern IMO.
