The rest is mental and blocking and reading defenses to protect your QB and technique doing those things. All Keiland ever wanted to do and all he still wants to do is just run the ball and be the greatest yard gainer in LSU history. He doesn't want to do any of those other things, I don't think. because of that, he just isn't gonna play much. It's on him. A coach doesn't let a true go-to stud waste in the stable. There is no conspiracy. Keiland is just one dimensional. The dimension is him.


If he is so one-dimensional and doesn't block, then why has he been the back that has come in on obvious passing downs this year to block. If he couldn't block pretty well, they would have left Scott in to block.

It amazes me that people continue to talk about him fumbling and him dancing around. Nintey-percent of his dancing has been because the play was obvious and the d-line busted through and he is looking for some where to go. There have been many times that he has been wrapped up 3-5 yards deep and stil gets back to the line. People that say he doesn't run hard and with power, don't watch the game very closely. I know that I'm talking a losing battle, becuase we have plenty of people on here that don't have a clue and we have a coach or two that don't want KW in the game very often. It still baffles me that KW looked very good earlier this season and practically won the Vandy game for us and everyone on here was praising him. The next week after all of the hype and questions to Les, he doesn't even get into the ULL game until the middle of the second quarter. This isn't the first time that Miles has protected a player (Scott) that he likes a lot. He did it in 2007 when RP looked good running the offense against Virginia Tech and Middle Tennessee State. After that, all he was allowed to do after that was run the ball.

obviously you didn't read the article where it was stated he was brought to pick up blitz packages on third downs.

Your points are well taken. I don't argue that he isn't anygood. I don't argue he doesn't have potential or talent.

I argue that something is wrong because he isn't being played. I vigorously argue that the idea that a coach isn't playing a kw that you describe is bs--your description of kw is innacurate. There is a kw that you are't describing and that is the kw he is NOT playing.

And finally, i take umbrage at your comment that no one knows dick about football on here-- we all have the same information if we watched the games, and we all do.

I'm not trying to pick a fight. I just have to believe that there is a legit reason he is not playing. I will say that i don't think its because he gets an abyssmal 2 yrds per carry-- i think its something else. I think you can see what it is by what he says.

He has had some good qb protection moments so that wasnt fair exactly. But what else is there? Besides a problem we cant see. Why would a coach not play his best? Crowton lord knows can call plays for him.
