 | Rufus Johnson vs Chase Thomas - Scoob on 4/28/13 at 11:25 am
Rufus drafted (6th rd, I know) on pure potential; but we don't have the slightest clue if he will make the 1st cut.
Chase went undrafted completely despite a stellar career; hell he was All American in 2011. I guess the knock is- he's max'ed out his physical potential... but damn, he seems like a...

Just my guess on guys who are practically locks despite not even being drafted:
DaRick Rogers, WR Bills
Chase Thomas, OLB Saints
these guys might end the season starting.
Who else ya got? ...

| our new defense, against the Falcons - Scoob on 4/27/13 at 2:03 pm
So, the plan is that Vaccaro blankets Gonzalez in key situations. Jenkins sits his large arse in the middle of the line and makes life hell for Turner and/or Jackson.
About right?

| Here's a weird thought... - Scoob on 4/25/13 at 9:45 pm
The only times Harper has looked good is when he's up in the box. He plays solid against the run, and he's honestly been one of our best pass rushers on the blitz.
Other than his (obviously small) size, he plays like a ... outside linebacker.
Not that I would want this over a true linebacker ...

| Any regrets joining the SEC, Aggies? - Scoob on 3/21/13 at 1:28 pm
Not a flame, just an observation on how 2012 turned out.
Big 12 was weak, and you could have ran the table. Decent chance at being 12-0, and as we saw you could play with Bama in a one-game scenario. More than likely, you would have smoked Notre Dame had that been the matchup. This could have be...

sorry if this has been already brought up, but I didn't see it on the first page.
He'd be expensive, and Goodell would consider the move a match made in hell (I can only imagine the conversations between Vilma and Harrison if they were on the same team), but:

I'm an LSU fan and alum, but I've always supported the state schools in the past. I just noticed their basketball team is 25-3 and ranked (wow, congrats to the Bulldogs). Combined with their last football season, they're having a great year.
Really a couple questions- are they a lock for the NCAA...

Miles made the comment that the 2013 offense might be his best yet. Granted, that's probably something over 90% of coaches will say about "next year", but how much is in place for it to be true?
What we have coming back:

You know how certain teams' fans are stereotyped? That has been the case with LSU. Up until very recently, LSU fans were perceived as the Stiffler, the Spicoli of the college crowd. Loud, rowdy, crazy party fools, going to dominate in any environment.
What are we now? We're acting like whiny, se...

You just THOUGHT Reggie Bush left the Saints. But in truth, he's in deep cover, to take out Saints problems when we can't get them officially.
R. Bush 14 carries, 87 yds, including 21 yd TD and additional 22 yd run.
Dolphins 24, Seattle 21
and now the door is open!...

Ok, so what, exactly, are we looking at? Sugar gets a pass because they WOULD get Fla, if Notre Dame wins. I guess the rest of the BCS does too, because of the 2 team rule, otherwise it likely would be the B-SEC-CS games.

That doesn't even consider the depth, such as most of the backs coming back for their senior years (nobody has had the year to make themselves draft eligible).

It took awhile for us to adjust to the new scheme, but I think things are developing nicely now.

Hi guys, this is a serious question for the older fans, those who remember a different style of football than what we see now (as exemplified by Drew Brees and the Saints). Younger fans don't remember seeing guys like Earl, Dickerson, Bo or Herschel, so they probably wouldn't get the gist of it.
