Matt Canada - 7/21 Interview - Off the Bench

Cliffs:

He's excited to be at LSU and says everything is as great as expected but the players are his favorite part. They are buying in when it's easy to resist change.

Loves guice, said his first question to CMC was about protection schemes. That says a lot about his mentality. Said he's got more talent than any RB that's been in his system. (Melvin Gordon, Michael Turner, and Montee Ball to name a few).

Chark is a class act, does all the right things. Works hard and has no ego about him.

Loves the talent of the WR group. Says they are as good as anyone. He needs to make sure they live up to it from a production standpoint.

Thinks the Oline will be the strength of the offense. Thinks there is a lot of talent and experience in that group.

Etling has the lead on the starting gig but all QBs will get a chance in the fall. He and CEO both agreed that they would look at the different skill sets of the QBs and choose the one that gives the best chance of winning. At this point, that's Etling.

Said McMillan shows a lot of promise.

Said Narcisse is still trying to get his legs under him. Says he has the potential to be a game changer but he's been away from the sport for so long that there will be a learning curve so to speak.

Game plans will be based around getting our best players matched up on there worst players. Packages and play calling might change week to week but the core of the offense will remain unchanged.

Loves the sliders from walk ons.
