True or False: Al Woods' biggest mistake - choosing LSU

LSU's problems
1. scheme: he didn't fit
2. development: moffit doesn't make strong/explosive lineman
3. coaching: he wasn't coached technique until his senior year
al woods was a legit 5-star talent. he needed coaching and physical development. he was a raw talent coming from a small school and he needed to drop weight and get stronger. pretty much LSU was the worst choice possible
LSU tried to turn him into a 1-gap DT, made him get way too small, and moffit's track record with developing strength is not strong. plus he was coached by a DL coach who simply did not even really coach.
basically LSU tried to put a square peg in a round hole and in the process made woods an ineffective player scheme-wise. on top of that, he was not coached in technique nor developed properly for his natural playing style.
this for a very raw kid with a ton of physical potential. hell he wasn't even redshirted

Davenport will probably follow him considering LSU has already tried to move him.

true...everything about LSU sucks

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

The guy is a physical speciman and tore up the combine. The reason he sucked is because he's soft and is very laid back (i'm not gonna say lazy because that wouldn't be fair). Sometimes blame has to be laid on the player.

Your posts are actually getting more retarded. If that's even possible. Take a week or two. Do something (ANYTHING) besides posting on the rant. Then come back and try again.

He's going to be playing in a similar scheme in the NFL.

This is the biggest inaccuracy that I've seen you make many times on this board. In LSU's scheme (and most 4-3 schemes), DTs often have 2 gap responsibility.

I think this is probably a fair comment.

Disagree w/ this statement. Moffit is only as effective as the attention to detail, or lack there of by the head coach.

at what point do you people start saying .... hey, maybe this guy just wasnt the talent that rivals said he was?
If you HAD to make a highlight reel for AW's during his days at LSU, face it...wouldnt be much to it.
Not everything is the coaches fault as many here would lead people to believe.

Not saying we don't have development issues, but........
Did you ever see this guy in High School?? Talk to anyone in Elton and they'll tell you he never had a chance in college. I watched him in High School, and he was a very talented, lazy, SOFT, football player. Some guys only look good off the bus, but they can't play football. He's the best example.

I would say we didn't use him properly. I wouldn't say that Al Woods choice of LSU was a mistake, per se.
I think the mistake was on our coaches' end.
Where do you think Woods would have fit better? Was he even looking at other schools?
He doesn't fit at Texas or Oklahoma...they like smaller DTs like we do. He might have fit at Alabama, but Saban wasn't the coach yet.
So where?

..total bullshite...

Word on the streets is that most LSU players are lazy once drafted into the NFL. Hopefully Al Woods isn't. The Chiefs are big time dissapointed in Dorsey and Jackson.

Do you have any kind of proof of these claims? Beside your "learned" opinion, of course. Like I thought, yet another case of SFP pulling things out of his arse.

You have got to be kidding ! Al Woods biggest mistake was Al Woods !

He got a NC ring and an SEC ring and got drafted in the 4th round by the Saints
I dont think he's too sad about anything

This is obvious. The whole team suffers from this. I wonder what goes on in practice. Is it worth $3.7 mill?
