Miles wants to play four most of the time. That will be – not necessarily in this order – Spencer Ware, Michael Ford, Jeremy Hill and Kenny Hilliard. That leaves out Blue, who he should move to receiver or tight end or linebacker.


This might be the most ill-informed statement by an LSU beat writer I've read in a long time. I know there was speculation in the past Blue could change positions, but Miles has said Blue may be the best of the RBs, and the idea of Blue playing TE at his current build/weight is pretty absurd IMO.

I said this the other day, the media stirs up crap so you'll continue to read it.

"OMG! Did you see what GG wrote about this person? He's nuts."

And then what do you do, read his bit the following day.

It's just to make you think that they (the media) are smarter than they really are.

Make your own opinion and leave it at that.

GG is a huge troll and all he wants is for someone to read his garbage.

Blue will not be the odd one out, nor should he be. His production will probably increase.

Blue will not be left out of the mix.

The dude is the only running back we have with break away speed.

Looking at last season's games, Blue had more explosive long runs than any other back. I believe that Hill, Hilliard, and Ware all will be able to substitute for Copeland at FB. Blue and Hilliard are probably the most instinctive RB. I actually see 3 guys getting the bulk of the carries with Blue bell cow.

all of the running backs bring different elements and styles but blue may have the best vision and possibly best break away speed. i just can't see him having to switch.

i believe hilliard is the beast of them all, but everyone will rotate and maybe some play a little full back..

Ford is a slasher and loves to get that outside edge. I like his speed as well.. but Blue may have the better break away in the open field. I'm not quite sure.

I'd have to rewatch more film. The only back I don't know much about is Hill.

Miles also said that he expects Jarrett Lee will have to have more reps every game after the first Bama game.

Never trust anything Les Miles says about the players. He almost never gives an honest answer when discussing a player.

Sure is nice to have a stable full of quality backs so we got to argue over which one is the best. I say give them all a shot. Fresh legs wear the defense out trying to stop them, make them stack the line then burn their butts with deep pass with our new and improved passing offense.
Damn season's start can't get here soon enough for me.

So true. Most teams have one quality guy, and a few have two.

I've heard straight from key players on the team (mett, mingo, faulk) Blue is the man. When i asked them who's our go to potential 1000 yard rusher this year, they unanimously said Blue.

he's a change of pace tailback. He doesn't have nearly the break away speed that Blue has.
