Burns is the worst safety at LSU since 2000 and I stand by that. He's worse than Karnell Hatcher and Danny McCray and was a MAJOR part of the reason we sucked arse last year on D

Agree with you on almost your entire post, but the part about Danny McCray. My brother and I discussed McCray in depth that season which was the Pelini one I think. What really happened in our opinion was that McCray was the closest defender in busted coverages. We believe he was actually doing his job but the guys whose responsibility it was to cover these guys were out of the play due to their busts. In other words, "wrong place at the wrong time". As George C. Scott said in the Patton movie, "that's OK, son...you are only damn person in this place who knows what he is doing."

Literally bear hugging them would have been better

Yeah, if Speights had just "bear hugged" the TE, Speights' momentum would've taken the TE out of bounds, well short of the first down. Even though defense was optional in the Pac 12, it's still hard to envision him as a 1st team all-conference pick.

I'm gonna have to, um, disagree with you there.


In his first 6 games, he had essentially 100 yards rushing in5 of those. He became the starting LSU running back and averaged 5.5 ypc. I'll stick with "big hit."

He needs something like this

Going from A&M to LSU isn’t a second chance. Thats still your first chance

He needs to actually fall to maybe learn something.

That's pretty much exactly what happened. Harry Coleman and Curt Taylor in particular used to bite on pump fakes and QB look-offs in 08. Go check that long TD Tebow threw to Harvin when UF killed us.

Also, the bigger issue may have been Pelini/ Malveto used McCray mostly as a nickel/ dime covering slot guys in 07 and 08 and he's more of a pure safety.

Whose was worse here, Denver's or Major's?

Harris for sure. Burns lacks talent, not effort. Harris is just a shithead.

Kid is a moron on and off the field. Not a spectacular combo regardless of how much god given talent you have

Yeah, going from A&M to LSU likely just made him think he was untouchable. Having to play at UTSA should be a much colder splash of reality. Although... he's still at an FBS school that looks as if it has a decent shot at being in the playoff convo for as long as G5s are allowed a slot so he may still not realize he's wasting his gifts.

Are you talking about major burns?


Did he intercept a pass at the end of a half... only to suffer an injury and get taken out for the rest of the reason??? If not... then NO, I'm not talking about Major "Look at me Flex" Burns.

That was Zy Alexander in the Army game right before halftime. What a damn shame because IMO he was really starting to come on as a CB. Kelly had said he had talent but just needed to find the ball. ZA did always seem to be right on his guy but you still have to locate the football....in the last few games before the Army game, he was doing that.

I really hope the lightbulb comes on for this young man. So much talent to continue and play in the NFL. Him not being able to be a starter for us really hurt.
If your only regret is him not playing well for LSU ok, I get that. But who cares how he turns out, I don't. He is an adult and has to live with the consequences of his actions.

I hope he does too, no one wants to see the kid fail. I just don’t think he’s capable of doing it. We’ve seen enough of Major Burns to know what he is as a player at this point
