re: Jack Bech 3rd on depth chart?

Bech is a football player. They couldn't guard him in HS or while he was at LSU. The muffed punts got in his head. He is still a good player. Wish he would have stuck it out here.

Bech shined in Coach O's 2021 offense, when LSU did not have a legitimate TE on the roster. LSU ran 1 back 4 WR sets or total spread with 5 WR. Bech lined up about 3 yards from the tackle and was matched up against LB's or strong safeties.

Those types of offenses as your base offense are for teams that don't have personnel to go toe to toe so you run a total spread to give yourself a chance to compete.

I never said he was not a good football player, he just can't start in LSU's offense under Coach Kelly which uses a true TE that can line up in-line and block and is used in the pass game. If you run 11 personnel, with 1 back and 1 TE, who does Bech play ahead of in your 3 WR set.

In my view, nobody. That is how I see it, you disagree fine, that is your right to do so.
