Harold Joiner Huge Difference Maker?

While he's not nearly as fast as Fournette or Guice, I feel like he will be a bell-cow running back for LSU. He will come in and start right away, most likely, if he decides to come here. I love his size and strength. He's also got a nice vertical leap. Another thing I love about him is his pass catching ability coming out of the backfield.

I will be more excited to see Edwards Helaire if they ever play the kid. I mean I really don't understand not putting the kid in some games to gain experience for next season, even Brosette should be run more. Guice and Williams will be gone next season and these guys will be taking over. Both inexperienced at this point, I mean there really is no excuse for not running Brosette in the mix with Guice and Williams, I'm sure he's pissed about it.

He looks really impressive in his highlight reels. He seems to find the hole and burst through it decisively. That does rather describe Jeremy Hill, doesn't it? Joiner also seems to run with great vision, which kind of reminds me of Charles Scott in a similar way. Joiner's pass blocking too appears strong. I saw him lay out a blitzer on one play.

I like him A lot . If you’ve been watching ball a long time you might remember Chris Brown that used to play at Colorado and with The Titans, because he runs and is built similarly. He’s easily the best guy on our board right now and I view him as a must - get to keep our 2018 rotation competitive in the SEC.

He says that because of his herky jerky style if running.

He may be a good back, I don't believe he is any better than Leonard or Derrius, but the difference makers are the hog's up front opening holes. If LSU can't get the olinemen to open holes, it won't matter who lines up behind them. (Except Barry Sanders) Runningbacks are only going to make a difference if their blocking can make a difference. And the past 2 years, the blocking has been subpar against some teams. But, if LSU can get some top notch olinemen, then yes, Joiner can be a difference maker. But, if they do, then there's other backs who could be difference makers too. Chris Curry, Brousette etc. Got to get the hogs though, unless, like I said, you got Barry Sanders in your backfield.

Adequate SEC back, at best.

Honestly, I think he's a little overrated. He looks big on film but doesn't look nearly as physical as he should. Combine that with it doesn't look like he has breakaway speed. I think he'll be a solid contributor but nowhere near a Guice/Fournette or even Jeremy Hill level. He looks more like a solid contributor like Darrel Williams to me. I would not be shocked to see them move him to another position like they did White.

FYI white was moved to et him on the field since we had guice and fournette and no LB's. with good LB depth and no guice or fournette he is our rb this yar

Are you saying that CEH is not playing because they're holding him out so he doesn't get hurt?

That's one of the dumbest things I've heard on here/the rant. And I've been a member since 09'
