Bad Coaching up 20 and still having all of your starters in.

LA Tech was not coming back down 20.

Why have your 6’7” TE that is really a TE in name only, pulling to block up 20 running the risk he gets rolled up on? Their DL was collapsing the pocket all night. Coaches are dumb.

Sucks that TG got hurt but you are not going to see a TE production drop off with 88 filling in. Blocking will be much better from 88.

Downvote away.


That’s the truth.


Green is not a blocking TE. Never will be. Doesn’t have the frame.

At that point in the game, you saw that Tech was being a PIA and you were not going to be blowing them out. They were pushing the OL all night, and you had already lost your starting center by getting rolled on.

Put in the scrubs or at the very least don’t call run plays where you are pulling, just In case your horrendous center gets his shite pushed in for the 50th time that night.

Would you have pulled the starters with the performance they put up last night? Group obviously needs to work through it and get the reps.

He needed the reps for run blocking. Anybody here think Green is an elite blocker at TE? Sucks that he got hurt.

We don’t need him to block.

He was our freak mismatch in the red zone that either catches a TD or draws a PI.


Coaches fricked up by trying to reach a lesson of not taking anyone out because they were pissed at the effort all night.

Stubborn morons.


Take them out and run their asses in practice this week.

Yep.

Get people in there that may have wanted to play at the “standard”.

Or how about not calling a pull with an OL getting shite rocked by a Tech DL pushing them back all night

I wouldn't say elite, but he had a 77.2 run blocking grade against Clemson.

Nah. He thinks that those jump balls that were all going to the 6’7” freak are going to be as successful going to Sharp.


Relax. We didn’t lose anything. We have another guy on the bench that no one else in CFB has to plug in.

JD Lafeur
Giavanni Peterson
Landon Craig
Donavon Green


Any of those could have done on a pull block up 20.

If we lose one of those, Wgaf.

He will never be an even average blocker. Why pretend he's a tight end?

Football player gets hurt on a football play. Shocking. Never knew that could happen.

I don't mind Green on the play. It is unfortunate that the injury happened. At the TE position, we are going to be ok. Only thing from Green missed will be in the red zone but last night they never utilized him like they did in Clemson game.

Moore is the one who LSU can't afford to miss a long time. I think they best Florida this weekend bc the D will stop Fla and Nuss will generate enough scoring opportunities to get the win.

Why the hell would you pull your starters after that god awful performance, pretty clear it needs all the live reps it can get.

You think he will ever develop the blocking skills to be an NFL tight end? Develop him as a WR.
