re: Desean Smith on JJ Watt

Hes 6'5 245-250lbs. And was said to have the best hands in the nation coming out of high school and was said that he has some of the best hands on the team during the spring. He's not a great blocker, Gordon and Stokes are clearly better blockers. But Smith is a match up nightmare in the passing game and considering we have a QB that struggles throwing the ball and how young we are at WR and struggled for most part outside of Dural, having a 6'5 receiver with great hands and route running ability and athleticism would def help Jennings out.
Nor saying he should be on the field 90% of the snaps, but when we go 3+ receivers and in passing situations, Smith should be on the field. You can split him out wide, have him in the slot, end line TE spot, out of the backfield, etc. He's too big of a mismatch to not get out there more and we need to make a point to look his way when he is in there, which he rarely is. Put a DB on him, throw it up and let him go get it. Put a LB on him, he will beat him with his speed.
Despite not playing as much as he thought he would, and much less than most LSU fans thought, I do alwyas notice DeSean Smith on the sidelines being very animated and exciting out there and cheers on his teammates and talks with Jennings. So gotta give him credit for that and it's nice to see considering most of our guys are not that enthused about the O.
Oh and Jennings had 5 TDs vs SEC teams this year. Watt had 5 total TDs this year.

Gordon is not a great blocker. I haven't seen any evidence of it. Also, Smith has not been hit in stride once this year. That ball in the Wisc game was behind him and he had to fall to the ground to be able to even touch it with his hands behind him. He is a big guy. He is not going to be able to change directions to move to the ball as well, but if you can hit him, he is going to be a load to bring down.

Les Miles quote about our TEs during spring...
quote:
"Any time you have a position used to block and he can also receive the ball it makes a tremendous difference in your attack," LSU coach Les Miles said. "It's another quality receiver. DeSean Smith and Jacory Washington are guys we will use in the fall."
