During his press conference on Monday, LSU head coach Brian Kelly was asked if he had considered giving offensive guard Josh Thompson a chance at right tackle over Weston Davis.
quote:

"We did, but were willing to live with some mistakes out at right tackle because we think his future is so bright," Kelly said.

"When you go into that whole process of thinking about it, do you short his growth of what he needs to see every day?"

"We have to get him (Davis) better in the run game. And that's where, at times, you want to put Josh out there. But we're going to live with him."

"I'm proud of him; he's growing and learning this game. And that's a big part of this. O-line awareness and instincts... some have it, some don't. Some you really need to give them reps. And that's what this is about. He needs to play."

I’ve been willing to give BK the benefit of the doubt but this confuses me. Davis has been awful. Let him grow and develop by watching and being second string with reps. But allowing him to grow at the expense of limiting the offense seems irresponsible.

Another reason BK has no credibility is he actually watching the game and what’s going on? Unless he thinks skating backwards or total missing the guy is progress, WTH is he watching??

Run blocking? He's awful at run blocking and pass blocking. Curne is better than Davis and Echols is better than Mubenga yet we keep marching these 2 out there. You get more physicality out of those 2 so why start either of these? They're getting your QB killed anyway.

I don't know if echols is better than mubenga at this point in time. Maybe in the future.

LG play was better than we've seen all season against SC. Low bar I know but the point is neither Mubenga or Davis should be starting. Mugbenga has no ceiling and Davis is the lowest graded player every week. You have Curne who has a big ceiling and already looks better, why would you not find a spot for him to learn? It's not a coincidence when both of these players were out those positions were improved.

We are going to play him because we don't want him to hit the portal.

I'm beginning to believe the Notre Dame fans were right about Brian Kelly.

"Beginning "? WTF you been watching? Take out Jaden Daniels freak running ability, and BK is a .500 sec coach, at best

If you ever needed proof about those feelings of BK being a moron...well here it is.
Throw away a season so a right tackle can develope...and play him instead of more capable blockers?
BK is a joke and laughed at when he leaves a room.... by his peers
