re: Last decent TE for LSU?

Actually I think the TE's LSU has right now are pretty good. They all are good blockers or wouldn't be on the field for Miles. Problem is they are checkdown receivers and rarely if ever the primary target. AJ doesn't do good job of checking down if his primary is covered (hello!!) so he either forces it or takes off. How many times have we seen the TE wide open, especially down the middle? It really is a shame as they could really be an integral part of the offense if able to be utilized. Sadly, they are not.

As for the best LSU has had in my recent memory, David Lafleur and you can end the discussion right there. That guy was in a league all his own.

Stokes caught a TD versus Ole Miss. Jennings can't go thru progressions fast enough to see othef wide open TEs.

Our TEs are very good.



We just don't use them in the passing game for some strange reason.


Gordon is a great blocker, Smith has great hands, Travis Dickson has great hands..... sure is a head scratcher as to why they're solely used for blocking.

Again why are they running routes? Who are they blocking on pass plays 10 yards up field?

Richard Dickson finished his career with over 900 yards and 10 TDs.

We have the talent, believe me we do with Smith and Washington. Both were top 5 TE recruits. Smith known for his incredible hands, and Washington was more receiver than TE.

It's insane, but with Dupre, Quinn, Diarse, Dural, Chark (who is like a Dural clone in physical abilities), Smith, Washington, Fournette, and 2015 Guice, we have a ridiculous amount of talent to catch passes the next couple of years. There is no reason why we shouldn't be throwing the ball a lot next year. Ridiculous, stupid, absurd, and obnoxious amount of weapons at our disposal for 2015 and 2016.

70% Shotgun, up tempo. base three WR set, some two TE sets with Washington and Smith lined up in the slot. Five wide with Dupre, Quinn, Chark. Dural, and Guice (speed package). Read option from shotgun with Guice or Quinn on an end around with Fournette, Williams, or Ducre in the backfield (Ohio state and Wisconsin kill with this). Five wide Spears, Washington, Smith, Ferguson, Dupre (big package). Speed option Harris, Fournette or Harris and Guice. The diamond formation they used that one time with Ducre, Fournette, and Guice all in the same backfield with Harris.

I mean we have the talent over the next two years to just be relentless on offense.

I think they are good but we don't throw them the damm ball. Hard to be good when you are not used.

Les Miles says "LSU is truly a place where tight ends come to die". Wait maybe that's not if.

If Jimmy Graham played TE at LSU, nobody would even know his name. He would just b another unused talent.
