What do you mean?

He was on the field all day long and went back for a punt return.

We didn't throw all that much, and when we did, it went to #2.

33 is fine.

I noticed too. I know he was thrown at at least once that I remember. Normally only gets a couple touches a game anyways. In a 14 pass attempt game, he was just overlooked by an A day RR. When we play bama, he will probably be the go to receiver because he won't be covered by bamas best corner

Because Les only wants his pet players to shine and OBJ was making them look bad...I'm sure Alabama is shaking in their boots at the thought of Kadron Boone catching 1 yard passes.

I am pretty sure Beckham and Michael Ford are looking to transfer after yesterday's game...

Yeah Boone is a pet. With all the catches he gets. And the 21 harder was beautiful, sure it was an accident you referred to it as a 1 yard pass.

Les cares more about his pet players than actually winning games...

No shite huh! I remember that year when Hester was his "pet player"...we SUCKED that year. Les sacrificed team glory so Hester could rush for over 1000 yards when Charles Scott and Keiland Williams were CLEARLY better. Damn you Les!

Ford's lack of carries the last 2 games is baffling

C'mon Josh...you are better than this. Don't fall into the Rantard way. Blue is running his arse off and has probably earned more time in practice...and perhaps they thought Blue's style of running was what they needed yesterday? I am not going with the conspiracy theorists here...Blue played, Ford didn't. Leslie has a plan and none of us may ever understand it....

Yep. LSU only threw 14 passes (I think) yesterday. OBJ slipped on the cut on one attempt I know of. He was on the field plenty of times, and on one punt return as well.

And Ford is having an incredible year....averaging a td like every 10 touches. This is just like the Keiland thing

Ford fumbling last week has a lot to do with him not getting many carries, I'm sure.

damn, 1 fumble?

he didn't have a good game vs. kentucky, didn't finish several runs and one time completely missed a hole. And the fumble, he dropped a pitch that hit him right in the hands. Blue came in and ran well after that.

No it's not, Blue is outplaying him. We don't see practices but Miles rewards players that have a good practice week with playing time.

I don't get the support for one productive player over another one, Blue is getting it done, this is not a deal where Blue is getting carries and not producing.

Ford is solid, he will get his shot but instead of worrying about why he or Beckham did not get touches how 'bout praising Blue and Randle and what they did when they got the ball?

I think that defenses have started paying more attention to him, and that is leaving RR open more. Win/win, as we were all thinking before the season that all the game-planning would revolve around teams stopping RR, so OBJ has been one of the best things to come out of this season so far.
