If we ever start to run a Wild "Tiger" Formation

I really dont think it matters where JJ or Shep are, as long as they are on the field

the disadvantage i see to him being the QB is that once trindon leaves, we don't really have that super explosive speed guy that will make Ds worry about the sweep off the motion.

isn't John Williams supposed to be a lil burner? is he ever gonna play? and I think Drayton Calhoun could also play this role. or hell, Murphy. so Shep at QB.

true, i forgot about him

Calhoun would fit nicely for Trindon.

I've heard Calhoun is a blazer. for when Trindon graduates.

...and Lache if we sign him.

i'm not holding out hope at this point. he'll enter the discussion when his name is inked on the dotted line

I would guess we'll see him at both this year. I think he probably has a little advantage over Trindon given his ability to cut on a dime if he sees an opening. As far as the future goes, Claiborne and Calhoun could potentially be sweep guys. I think JJ at QB with RS at back on the zone read could be lethal.

Here is how I see it. Next Year LSU has some options if they use this scheme.

QB: KW, Shep, or even JJ (I think JJ is definitely athletic enough to pose a serious threat as a runner). I actually think KW would be best in this role b/c a lot of times the QB needs to break one DL/LB arm tackle in order to get in the open field. I think KW provides a little more strength but still having big time speed.

Slot (Felix Jones role): TH (ideal but only 1 yr left), Shep (also ideal), Williams (??), Calhoun(??). I also think a KW type could fill this role (See Ricky Williams in Miami). I think vision is slightly more important than explosive speed.

FB: Scott, KW, Ridley (when healthy), Bush. Obviously this is more of a power position that requires a strong burst through the line. Ridley's burst was phenomenal last yr, so I hope he is able to get back to that after the injury.

Actually, I think the best philosophy since we have so many options is to use different personnel groups in this formation. Let some of the guys play multiple roles. Sometimes line Shep at QB sometimes at slot. Line KW at QB and at the FB position. It will definitely keep the defense off balance.

I really wish we would use this formation for 5-10 plays a game. Hell IT HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE AT EVERY LEVEL IF YOU HAVE THE CORRECT PEOPLE TO RUN IT.

that would be pretty crazy

i mean JJ could still play QB in this formation also, especially if he improves in his running and can manage running through tight spaces at the LOS

i just hope we finally run this shite

i've all but given up on murphy until he shows me something in a real game

he's had like 2 or 3 good runs showing his athleticism in his 3 years of play

I don't think it is his fault. When he comes in, he gets the ball. Not hard to defend.
